Global – 41,600,000/1,100,000; USA – 8,400,000/222,400 Last night was final Presidential Debate. POTUS still insisting that we are turning the corner and all parameters are down. This is completely untrue as per the summary below from Deb Birx. Also, after the moderator brought up the fact that POTUS called me and others “idiots” he continues to say that I am a nice guy but have been wrong many times. He brings up the “incomplete” quote where I say that: “…..at this time, we do not need to do anything different”, yet he leaves out the second part of the sentence: “……however, it really is an evolving situation, and we have to be prepared for the worst”. This was a quote from me on CNN on January 20, 2020. On Jan. 21, the 1st travel-related case was detected in the USA. On Jan. 24 the 2nd travel-related case was detected and on Jan. 30 the 1st person-to-person spread of SARS-C0V-2 was confirmed in the USA. Therefore, I was warning that we needed to be prepared for the worst even before the 1st case was detected in the USA. Also, he said again that I am a Democrat and brings up my early (and very brief) statement on masks. Fact checkers showed he lied dozens and dozens of times during the debate. • Did Fireside Chat with the Aspen Group - Sibelius, Thompson. Very well received. Had dinner at my home with Jake and Jennifer Tapper. Relaxed, good time. Jake clearly believes that Trump is totally nuts. Hit 83,000 new cases today. The single day record since the beginning of the outbreak: Surge continues: PRESS: MSNBC – Chuck Todd – Meet the Press Daily; BBC TV Andrew Marr Show; CNN with Erin Burnett
