Word so far is that the v***s will not survive in the mosquito, and I hope that is true. As for our federal teams response and the presidents lack of leadership, "it's just one case, no problem", "it will just go away" musings, ignorance of science, sudden attachment to religion, failure to take responsibility for anything, and blame everyone else for his failures, enough is enough, he should just step down...... if his ego would let him. His abilities as a c***ter, liar, s**mmer, bully, adulation of Putin and his overall failure have taken center stage, and are extremely well documented by both the right, MOR and the left. Don't even bring up "f**e news" - he generates his own, sadly some folks still believe in his BS. I hope we as a nation can survive all this, he's taking us down the "Road to perdition"....God help us all.
