True.

Then you are acting responsively. Unlike some folks who are encouraging
mass gatherings (e.g. look at Trump's statement about packing the
churches on Easter Sunday).
GD> The virus does not care if you're Liberal or a Conservative.
GD> It does not care if you're Democrat or a Republican either.
True.

What can help solve things is if people speak truth to power and stop
drinking the kool-aid.

Yes -- we were warned that it was coming as far back as January. But
Trump kept denying that it was a problem, instead calling it a hoax.
His travel bans did nothing to stop the spread of the infection -- the
virus was already here.

GD> So again your point is, what exactly...?
Obama played golf, yes. But far less than Trump.
GD> You know who really lied? The Communist party of China.
But that could be expected from an adversary like China. It should not
be expected from *OUR* President.
