No the politicians/leaders will never say I give and really help the people and not themselves as they are ego freaks. I’m sad to hear of the deaths of the people in the care facility who went there and i’m sure paid big bucks just to live out their lives the best way possible. I must of missed the info before that others have died there and there was a problem with the virus at this facility. This country gives billions to other countries to take care of them and never puts our country first and we need to change this by kicking out all these worthless politicians who don’t agree with that no matter what party it is.

And here we are – living in what we were told is the best, most advanced country that ever existed on earth!


Yet we can not put our anger and disregard for each other aside and work together to get this virus under control.


Are we, as a country, totally incapable of learning from what others have successfully done?

Look at South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, New Zealand, and many other countries. Are we so damn egotistical that we can not accept what others have done?


How many thousands more will have to die before some real actions are taken by those who have the power to take actions? Rather than just spit out empty and false words.


And how many of these deaths will have the words “had complicating health factors” as part of the death notice. Aren’t these just words to kind of make it sound OK – died from COVID-19, but had complicating health issues.

Unfortunately about a third of our population truly believes that this “virus” will go away after the election. We can’t reliably return to work, unless we all work together like they did in WWII. We’re reacting like this is Grenada.
