News in yesterday's governors call -- CDC Director Dr. Redfield says small family gatherings are becoming a source of concern: “What we're seeing as the increasing threat right now is actually acquisition of infection through small household gatherings."
Redfield: "And particularly with Thanksgiving coming up, we think it's really important to stress the vigilance of these continued mitigation steps in the household setting."
And the US government is investing roughly half a billion dollars in a cartridge on-the-spot test that was used in the NBA bubble: “If it was good enough for LeBron, we need to democratize it to the American people,” Adm. Giroir said.

NEW: Dr. Fauci says current efforts toward Covid-19 vaccine development are “on a really good track” despite news that a 2nd vaccine was put on hold this wk. “A couple of the vaccines are very close to getting some sort of information,” he said during a call with governors today.
Fauci mentioned vaccines being tested by Moderna and Pfizer. “We’re getting to the point where we’re almost being able to look at the first look at the data, which is a predetermined thing done by the data and safety monitoring board,” he said, per audio obtained by CNN.
Vaccine effort “is on really a good track,” Fauci said. “We should know by November or December whether or not we have a safe and effective vaccine,” he added. “It is conceivable that we might even know before then.” Can then start distributing to those w/ highest need, he said.

A couple notes on the Hatch Act after RNC events showcasing the White House: While there are certainly plentiful opportunities for Hatch Act violations from staffers involved with WH events during this convention, the President and first lady are immune from Hatch Act violations.
But, as we know, there's only one person can enforce any disciplinary actions for employees found by the Office of Special Counsel to be in violation of the Hatch Act, and that is the President himself.
So far, after numerous violations for staffers, including Kellyanne Conway, Stephanie Grisham, Raj Shah, Jessica Ditto, Helen Aguirre Ferré, Jacob Wood and Alyssa Farah, Trump has not taken any disciplinary action.

I made the 1.75-mile lap around White House grounds this morning. Crews have begun the process of removing some of the fencing that went up last week. Here’s some of what I saw:
On H St., the fencing has become a gathering place for protesters, who have decorated the fencing with signs. Some of the signs were moved to scaffolding across the street. Per USSS, there are “continuing discussions” with Park Police re: temp fencing in and around Lafayette Park
The cleanup process is underway - crews with torches cleaning metal statues in Lafayette Park and men in neon uniforms and masks pressure washing graffiti off the side of the vandalized Treasury Department building
