Global – 13,800,000/594,000; USA – 3,640,000/139,000. Cases continue to surge. News cycle dominated by reports of conflict between me and the Trump insiders (see below) Petitions from multiple scientific organizations going around to sign on in support of me. Comm situation becomes even crazier. Despite Caputo saying that he is now “calling the shots and not the White House (see above), Alyssa Farah called me and said that Jake Tapper wants me this week and she will put me on for Tuesday. I explained to her what Caputo said and she told me not to pay attention to him since he is a big problem. She even said that it would be better if he stopped tweeting about Roger Stine and concentrated on his job, things would work better. Anyway, I am caught in the middle. Let us see how this turns out.
