https://www.rawstory.com/2020/03/politically-endangered-susan-collins-begs-trump-to-step-back-from-coronavirus-response/
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), whom polls show is in danger of losing her Senate seat this fall, is urging President Donald Trump to let medical professionals do all the talking about the coronavirus pandemic.
The Bangor Daily News reports that Collins on Friday said Trump should step back from being the public face of the pandemic response and letting people like Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, take the lead.
It is very important that health professionals be out front and that there be a consistent message, she said.
Collins also whacked the administration for being slow to get Americas coronavirus testing capacity up to speed.

Go Back into hiding. No one wants to hear from you.

Coming to grips with my "condition" and realizing that downsizing means get rid of, not jam it all on the kids.
Been giving books away, gave some to some DUer's, what do your read? Started taking books to the VA and my neighbors found out about it and now I have a pile that'll require a big wagon to get them in the building from my car.
Life is uncertain. We have little control over length, but we have supreme control over the quality.
