Connection to article: “Currently, more than 243,297 U.S. residents have tested positive for the virus, and 5,883 have died, 1,048 on Wednesday.” Nat’l statistic. Inescapable conclusion, poor national gov’t response. Evidence for Trump executive mistakes: presented previously, can resubmit if wanted. Just look at nat’l COVID-19 #s: South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan to U.S.A. Effect: stock market losses; unemployment; suffering, particularity for those w/o health care. Hopeful Effect: Public gets away for the red state blue state thing, irrelevant issues like guns, demands incompetent politicians (people who are simply not up to the job) find new work. The critique may anger you but is it TRUE? I see no refutation of my examples.

We are looking good so far, I hope that doesn’t attract those who flee the higher risk areas. The last thing we want to do is import dormant risk.

The trail of a well feed chicken has the same etchings.

Do you mean chicken or well fed troll? I guess they are the same.
