Agree with much of the above. Trump/Pence/etc should just let the Fauci, other doctors, epidemiologists, etc handle all the press conferences. Irritates me to no end when Pence holds up "Trump's list of 15 things to do" to stop the spread of the virus. Too bad the democrats are going to nominate someone to lose in November. But that's for another thread.
