Global – 153,200,000/3,200,000; USA -32,300,000/574,700

Lower numbers – 32,500:

   •   I did the Governors’ call and did the epi update since Rochelle was not able to be on the
       call. I clarified with Governor Cuomo why we should not get hung up on the “elusive”
       concept of herd immunity threshold since no one knows what that is. We should just
       focus on getting as many people vaccinated as quickly as we possibly can and for sure the
       number f cases will come down.

   •   I did the briefing for the “TV Docs” in preparation of the POTUS speech on the goal of
       70% of adults vaccinated by July 4

   •   Spoke with Indian Ambassador to the USA (Taranjit Singh Sandhu) about the situation in
       India.
