The U.S is accelerating at approximately 1 Million cases per month (7 Million now) and has exceeded 200000 deaths. Personally I find it upsetting that no real responsible action has been implemented by your current Federal Director. The World is watching the U.S. daily in hope that a serious outlook can be established to help end this Life Altering Event. When someone raises a serious question related to this Pandemic, the reply has been about employment, stock market, riots, China or Hillary. At some point somebody has to put on "The Big Boy Shoes" and take the correct action for all of you because it ain't happening now. MB

What would you think would be the correct action. maybe you know better than the people we have running our country.

Is that a lay-up? I got it!


First we have a national mandate on face coverings - everyone wears them because they help halt the spread of the airborne particles that carry the virus.


Second we practice "social distancing" (no super-spreader events) and we wash our hands and use hand sanitizer to protect ourselves.


Third we get EVERYONE tested, and those who test positive we quarantine to keep them from infecting others. We also contact-trace to identify those people who have been exposed and may not know it.


Finally when a proven safe vaccine is approved and distributed EVERYONE gets treated or the cycle repeats itself over and over again.



He shoots - he scores!!
