SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:50 P.M. ET: 

BIDEN'S A-TEAM – FROM THE NEW YORK POST:   CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky became emotional at a White House coronavirus press briefing on Monday — her voice breaking as she warned that the US is facing “impending doom” as COVID-19 cases rise again.  “I’m gonna lose the script and I’m going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom,” Walensky told reporters at a White House coronavirus press briefing.  “We have so much to look forward to so much promise and potential of where we are, and so much reason for hope. But right now I’m scared.”  “I know what it’s like as a physician to stand in that patient room, gowned, gloved, masked, shielded and to be the last person to touch some else’s loved one because their loved one couldn’t be there,” she continued.  “And I know what it’s like to pull up to your hospital every day and see an extra morgue sitting outside.”  Some people should not be let outside without a parent or guardian. 

HOW LONG WILL THIS GO ON? – FROM FOX:   Another woman has stepped forward to accuse New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual misconduct.  The accuser, Sherry Vill, said Cuomo grabbed her face and kissed her in front of her home in 2017.  Vill was married at the time of the alleged incident, her attorney Gloria Allred said. Cuomo visited Vill's home in Greece, N.Y., to survey flood damage, The Wall Street Journal's Jimmy Vielkind reported.  "She has decided to break her silence and overcome her fear," Allred said according to the Daily Caller News Foundation's Mary Margaret Olohan.  Cuomo faces a growing number of sexual harassment allegations starting with former aide Lindsay Boylan, who alleged that the governor attempted to kiss her in his office, which he has denied.  Cuomo has said he never touched anyone inappropriately and apologized to anyone he made feel uncomfortable in the workplace.  Cuomo is playing the long game, hoping time will make his problem go away, and that he will be re-elected next year.  He could be right.  New York is a Democratic state, and obnoxious behavior has never counted too strongly against any Democrat in these parts.
