The number of cases (5 million) &
deaths (160,000) of COVID in the US is horrible, and hard to wrap my head
around. It's more than 50 9/11's. Yes, I DO blame Trump for his response - it's
heartbreaking and infuriating! That Americans aren't welcome elsewhere in the
world is a disgrace. I thought we'd be in a different, better place by the end
of the summer.
The elderly, those with compromised immune systems or other health issues, black & brown people - are all at higher risk and the Republicans have shown they simply DON'T care, and this is also a disgrace.
That wearing masks and social distancing is so politicized is beyond my comprehension. Doing these two things does NOT take away freedoms - it GIVES you freedom to have some semblance of returning to normal. Otherwise, we wait for safe, effectively distributed vaccines. I say vaccines because there may be more than one, depending on where you live.
Anyone planning to vote for Trump should be ashamed of themselves. Those of us who are voting for Biden need to say so, loud and clear! He's absolutely correct that it didn't have to get this bad.
I'm trying to hold on to the hope that like a phoenix rising out of the ashes, the US will vote Biden into the White House - and down ballot blue - and the US will heal. It will take time, but I have to believe healing can happen.
