Global - USA Numbers still coming down: Kate McKinnon played me again last night on “Saturday Night Live” in the context of the new CDC guidelines (see above). The CDC (Rochelle) got slammed on all the Sunday Shows for the abruptness of the announcement without planning for it or alerting people. People are confused as to what to do in certain settings such as businesses, shops, etc. I tried to clarify this on Sunday TV shows (see below). • Chris and I (with the detail) went for our Sunday walk on the Mall as opposed to the Canal. Just as with Raku last night restaurant, we ran into groups of students who had just had their graduation ceremony from George Washington University on the Mall. A few recognized me and started squealing and laughing as asking for selfies, which I gave them. Then more and more people gathered around and soon we had the same sort of crowd around me as has happened at AU, Chef Geoff’s, and Raku. It looks like for at least a while this is what is going to happen. PRESS: CBS “Face the Nation” with John Dickerson; MSNBC “The Sunday Show” with Jonathan Capehart; Che Tempo Che Fa (Italian TV);
