52. Every Governor , since trump refuses to do his job, needs to start these programs
Fri Mar 20, 2020, 05:58 AM
Mar 2020

Take schools and offer off work people including teachers, to make PPE for all the people desperately needing these ASAP.
Get hotels near hospitals or in more rural areas for the oncoming rush we're about to experience everywhere in this country now not later. Get made temperature guns with out of work people now, we will need then to fight the spreading of this before not after its needed the most. Protect the first medical people first , then all the critical and essential people next including those producing out food and supply before they get blindsided , and now after the fact. Governors need to make all restaurants serving anything anywhere have to take temps hourly and log those temperatures, and follow strict guidelines to remain open, or they get closed if caught not going by them. Work places still open need to do the same with hourly temperature checking to remove those with possible signs of infection before its spread more not after, now. Temperature guns need also to be mass produced now so hire people and get this done , now today. Another option that might help is by the State or government start giving people free seeds o row and help reduce the pressure on the stores for food, and their supply systems. Seeds are cheap and they could be already getting people doing this in areas where its already warm enough, and have ready for others areas as spring get to them. trump is worthless and a national disgrace for his corruption , his lying, and his incompetence , and his refusal to do his job . Calls for him to resign should be made now.
