If everyone were massively onboard with:

Wearing a mask
Social distancing
Minimizing going out
Adequate PPE for healthcare and other essential workers
Testing
Contact tracing

What's ironic is if that had been done, the economy could have been on it's way to recovery now instead of being in freefall with millions unemployed, unable to pay rent or mortgage, or buy food or pay utility bills, etc. Instead the suffering and greatly reduced quality of life may go on for years.

He and his cabal have refused to allow scientists to lead us. They refused to let the medical experts give truthful updates on the virus. The onus is on the incompetent narcissist and the rethugs. We will never forget! GOTV.

Month after month. I would like to be extended the privilege of being able to buy N95 masks and filters for my paint respirator.
Doesn't really seem like too much to ask does it?
Doesn't 3M have the freedom to make a buck from USA citizens's business?

Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing or 3M should be bigly profiting right now. With or without help or hindrance from the government.

I sense no fade in our issues or resolve. In 2016 there was uneasiness. We were frightened, tentative, what can we do?

Now we know. We're frightened, resolute, angry, and driving the dialogue.

Reach more MAGAts. Try to save their souls. Wave a real Bible at them. Give them a Bible, ask them to think and wake up to save humanity.

Would be even more sickening to see a full list through the end of July.......

Going to be very interesting to see how he responds to Florida and elsewhere up the east coast in the next week or so during and after this hurricane.

From the Feb 4 SOTU address

Protecting Americans’ health also means fighting infectious diseases. We are coordinating with the Chinese government and working closely together on the coronavirus outbreak in China. My administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat.
