You talk about asking for it. The outbreak in the WH seems to be deserved.

That's because Trump put Quacks in charge. Just like his personal physicians.

Testing causes case numbers to rise! Stop all testing and your cases numbers will fall to zero. Don't believe me? See Mr. Trump's published statements on that -- he's the world's smartest public health scientist.

Dr. Atlas is out today meeting people with no mask.
Trump is a victim of his own "herd immunity" doctrine.
