Call from Jeff Zients today with a message from Ron Klain – It is noteworthy that in prior
demonstrations it was always a concern when you give a message about a public health issue that
the administration is always afraid get the public to concern we're not concerned enough to be
incompatible with the message that they're trying to get. This was brought to the far extreme
trump administration in fact the message was completely garbled and riddled with allies from the
president , which I had to rectify. However, I was a bit surprised when I got a phone call from
Jeff saying that Ron thought I was doing a terrific job with the messaging but he was a little
concerned that I might be saying that we might have a tough time this winter pressing message.
However I was being perfectly truthful since in fact we are seeing the beginning of a surge and
when you look at what I said I was actually quite certain spectrum said that we can do something
about preventing surge and you just pull up to us if we want to blunt but could be an inevitable
surge of people continue to not getting vaccinate just the thought that there is some contact
commonality among all the ministrations but messages even the terrific ones like we're dealing
with now.

Phone call with Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) – Roger wanted information regarding global
COVID since he is going to a conference in Halifax about global response to COVID. He asked
good questions and then he asked about GOF and I explained the entire situation to him. He
seemed not hostile and understanding. Clearly, not all GOPs are jerks.

Interesting article in Axios that goes along with my saying that we did not know that masks
work until later on. This article came out today!!! –
