1. She's right

but here, in my town, where the numbers are rising daily, practically no one even wears a mask and the local diner is packed from open to close.

2. how about this phrasing: we need to get people to choose life over killing their family members

wear masks
socially distance

why scare the parts of the country that will scream welfare about paying people to stay home.

3. Sure woulda been a lot easier...

Had tRump not destroyed the pandemic playbook and team that Obama had assembled.

Everything was all set to move into action to manage and prevent the spread in the critical early stages, before it went viral. But no, man-toddler tRump had to smash it with his red plastic bat, and here we are today...

5. Really people stay home, don't earn a living, don't put food on the table, forget that heat.

Yes, we need people to stay home. We need to do a lot of things, and yet?

7. Yeah, Perhaps she could take it up with Mitch who is blocking all aid...and Trump minion

Mnuchin attempting to take back all help for small business in order to hurt Biden...they don't give a rat's ass about this country. Most know we need to pay people to stay home. But how with divided government can AOC or anyone make it happen? You have the Senate attempting to knee cap the economy in order to hurt Biden.
