The psychological challenge has become as tough, or tougher, than the physical challenge. [View all]

It is wearing on people. You can see it. You can feel it.

The battle against this novel virus would be easier if we were united. But, we are not.

Donald Trump and his supporters want the country opened up, as if nothing ever happened? The doctors and scientists are advising caution and warning that the virus is not yet gone.

It is this conflict that is creating the psychological pressures on our people. It is the President of the United States that urges it on.

But, who are you going to listen to? The "enemy of the people"? Or the President, whom you voted for and continue to support to the bloody end?

The psychological tax on our people will grow heavier and heavier in the days ahead.
