But Nassetta communicated that more testing is essential to his company's future Please explicitly explain how more testing will open his hotels? All we keep hearing is testing, testing, testing yet no one will explain how logically that would open up the economy any sooner.

President Obama's former senior advisor and close friend, Valerie Jarrett, says during the transition they tried to prepare to the Trump administration for the possibility of a deadly pandemic. But instead of being prepared, Jarrett says, the Trump administration was caught "flat-footed" and wasted critical time.Jarrett says the time lost in the early days of the pandemic made it impossible for the US to use contact tracing to control the outbreak. Better coordination within and outside of the country would have made a huge impact on America's ability to effectively control and treat COVID-19, according to Jarrett.Adding that this is "where diplomatic relations really matter, coordination of relationships, nonpartisan relationships with state and local elected officials matter, and a good pulse of where the business community is."Jarrett is pushing to expand early voting, voting by mail, and online voter registration so people will not have to make the "horrible choice" of protecting their health or exercising their right to vote. She hopes the presidential election is not postponed and believes that if these steps are taken it shouldn't have to be.
