Speaking on Fox News

Dr. Fauci is speaking on Fox news and says:
  • Some places may want to pause reopening, go back
  • He has a good relationship with Trump
  • some southern states need to step back on reopening
  • US shutdown was about 50% in reality, EU is 90%
  • footballs return is more complicated than baseball
  • he supports CDC’s school reopening guidelines
  • task force members are getting the message out
  • vaccine seen widely available by several months into 2021
Yesterday threw out the first pitch in Washington DC before the game between the Washington Nationals and the New York Yankees. He is obviously spending too much time focused on infection control.
  • By the end of this year/beginning of next year we will see if vaccine is safe and effective
  • Vaccine will be widely available several months into 2021

Fox News report

Edward Lawrence from Fox News reports that China has offered that the Trump travel to Macau to sign the Phase One trade deal, rather than the planned meet-up in Santiago, Chile.
Earlier today, Chile cancelled the APEC summit planned for November because of huge protests that have hit the country related to the high cost of living.
Markets wobbled on the initial announcement of the cancellation of the APEC summit but I don’t see it as any true obstacle to a Phase One deal. It’s a logistical problem but no reason to walk away from an agreement that — by all accounts — is very close to completion.
