You're right - she's something. It's MSNBC -Garrett is ~bumbbing~ subbing for Curefinder, who is recovering from~a panic attack~ "presumptive" COVID-19 [but can't manage to get a positive qPCR or antibody test]. Note: he is not one of us either [a scientist], although he pretends to be one on teevee.
