9/17: Sally brings devastation and flooding to the Gulf. Pres Trump contradicts the CDC on vaccine timing and the importance of masks.

Sally, which is now a tropical depression, is drenching parts of Georgia and Alabama after making landfall as a Category Two hurricane. Some areas have been inundated with nearly three feet of flood water, and hundreds of thousands of people are still without power. President Trump is bluntly contradicting CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield in an extraordinary public disagreement. Redfield told Congress that wearing a mask may protect more people from COVID than a vaccine will, and a vaccine is still months away. A few hours later, the president said Redfield was confused. At a forum last night, Attorney General William Barr brought up slavery in the context of the coronavirus. One of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies who were ambushed and shot has been released from a hospital. There are new details about the apparent poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
