In The Gatekeeper: Missy LeHand, FDR, and the Untold Story of the Partnership That Defined a Presidency, by Kathryn Smith, we learn that after Roosevelt contracted polio in 1921, Roosevelt brought on Marguerite “Missy” LeHand, a working-class woman from Somerville, Massachusetts as his secretary.

FDR and Perkins went back to his days as Governor of New York, and even before that, women played a large role in his professional life.

King Willem-Alexander paid a visit to a GGD Hollands Midden testing location in Leiden on Thursday morning. The health service blames the lack of testing space on too little lab capacity. "We think that's because there are simply a lot of people with symptoms now who want to get themselves tested," a GGD spokesperson said to the broadcaster. On Wednesday already, the GGD call center for making a test was overloaded several times.
