Global – 2,300,000/158,000; USA – 780,000/41,000; VP is travelling and so no TF meeting today. Big stir on TV shows last night about some states wanting to open and violating the guidelines for “Opening America Again”. POTUS making things worse by hiscrazy pronouncing “Liberate Michigan, Liberate Virgina”. Really crazy – he himself and us (me, Deb) are stressing to abide by the guideliens and he is rabble-rousing by his statements. Typical Trump. Stir a lot of “Fire Fauci out there among the far right. Call from Sem Lindsey Graham saying that he spoke with POTUS today and Graham is afraid that POTUS will not push back against what Georgia Governor is doing by “opening up” the state and he wants me to do so. I do not need him to tell me to do that. I told him that I would. Call from Ari Emanuel (he calls often) asking when I thuink this will end. He has already lost several hundreds of millions of dollars on cancelled bookings for theater, concerts and other events that he runs. Received call from Dionne Warwick who received an e-mail from a friend asking whether vaccuines developed for dog corna virus could help with vaccine development for SARS-CoV-19. Not a stupid question. Spoke by phone with Governor of Puerto Rico Wanda Vasquez Garced together wiyh her Secretary of State. They wanted to know if I approved of what they were doing to mitigate in PR and they had some good questions. Woman who claimed that I raped her (see above) never materialized.
