The President is an infection, but we have the cure

 

In a little more than a week as I write this, the United States can take the necessary step to begin eradicating the Donald Trump infection from the body politic.

It won't be a minute too soon, because in the campaign's final weeks, the President is trying to get as many people infected as he can, apparently.

Trump isn't even trying to slow the virus's spread   (from October 19)

"At almost every rally, Trump tells his supporters that the nation is "rounding the turn" on covid-19. [Note:  he said the same thing in the final debate, too.] Those who say otherwise, Trump told one crowd last week, are "cynics and angry partisans and professional pessimists." 

The numbers disagree. At the end of last week, new U.S. coronavirus infections were being reported at rates of more than 60,000 per day — levels not seen since August. Hospitalizations, which lag behind infections, have also begun to increase sharply; deaths, which trail hospitalizations, are expected to follow the same trajectory."

I'm cautiously optimistic, but I'm pretty apprehensive about what will ensue on November 4th.

But he needs to go.

Now.
