“The President is no longer traveling to Atlanta today,” a White House official said in an email on background. “The CDC has been proactive and prepared since the very beginning and the President does not want to interfere with the CDC’s mission.”

Well, we Dems have got our wish, because it was only going to be an exhibit of gross incompetence that would take down Trump…

Too bad the price will likely be 100,000 dead people…
