How do we slow down the spread of COVID after the election?

Can we afford 2 ½ more months of immobility until Jan 20?

Does CDC decide to follow a newly elected President, who is not yet inaugurated?

Do the Repub-tards finally use the 25th Amendment and let Pence take over?

Does the House Impeach a 2nd time with the charge of malfeasance in handling the pandemic?

Do we just hunker down and hope that clusters don't pop up in our neighborhoods in the middle of Winter?

Can a newly elected President gather all the Governors together and have the Governors take the reins controlling the pandemic until Jan. 20


Just thoughts popping into my head tonight

It will be a complete disaster and there is going to be no organized effort to fix it.

Save yourself.

Shelter as much as possible and if you have to get out wear a mask.

And I mean HAVE to get out. Not want to. Not for social visits or shopping except for ESSENTIALS.

Otherwise stay home and save yourself.

No one else is coming to help

Have sports superstars say things like they don’t go into a game without PPE and they don’t go in public without it either. The possibilities are limitless! Use Manning, MASCAR stars, hockey stars, baseball catchers etc. Make wearing a mask cool and those who don’t fools.

At the end of some you could show them meeting their hot gf or wife in the players parking lot with their masks on. “Be smart like Mike”.
