That we'd be in real trouble now unless we had a national response, all states on the same page and shutting down comparably at once and following the same protocol. He was on again tonight because his prediction was correct, and he said that in order to get this under control - like in other countries - we need to work together starting today. But we know that's never going to happen so we're all in trouble.

I'm so sorry that you're going through this - yet again - but you must know that you're not alone...
