Exactly. The WH has been a revolving door for the past 3 years. All the guardrails are gone, and the only ones left are all trump colon leeches. And now that blotus is back from the hospital staffers and aides are in a panic and rudderless. Not only do they not have a clue as to what they should be doing, but they don't even want to be near the walking viral time bomb. Also, the WH is not interested in conducting contact tracing after the Rose Garden ACB nomination debacle. The WH may have to be razed and rebuilt to rid it of the viral strain festering within. This our Chernobyl awaiting the final devastating meltdown.
