Had Zoom with Jeff and the team to go over the POTUS speech for tonight to commemorate the
1 year anniversary from the time (March 11, 2020) when the WHO declared this a pandemic of
global health concern and we shut down travel from Europe. This was a big day for me 1 year

to have the CDC be a bit less “risk averse” in their recommendations of what a person can do

once they are fully vaccinated. The CDC really needs to step up and give recommendations for
travel, workplace, houses of worship. They are dragging their feet. I am gently coaching
Rochelle to go by her own instincts and not always yielding to the rigidity of the career CDC
