“Caputo is taking a leave of absence after he had a public meltdown…”
He’s stepping down to spend more time with his lithium.

So, 60 days puts him out of sight until after the election.
Of course, the damage is already done, so he might just as well quit now. Like his henchman.

What does it take to actually get fired? Does he need to sacrifice a goat in his office?

Caputo’s leave would last for the next 60 days in order for him “to focus on his health and the well-being of his family.”
Sixty days could be enough.
An aide to Caputo, Paul Alexander, is leaving HHS permanently.
“Permanently”? He must have more families than Caputo does.

Deep State works quickly. It was what, only last Friday that Caputo revealed the existence of the Resistance Squad, and they’ve already forced him into a permanent vacation.
Don’t fuck around with the CDC guys, they know all about which poisons are slow-acting and where to get them.

Follow up thought:
Are we now paying his salary so he can go work for the Trump campaign for free?
