    Jeff,

    she finally "understands". I sure hope so <sigh>

    I guess I am somewhere in the middle. The virus IS a serious thing and needs to be dealt with in a common sense manner. But I see some powers
    that be (Be them political, business, or media) that try and deal with
    the virus in ways that in the long run will result in a much more
    negative effect that the virus alone.

    Nothing will be achieved as long as the leadership in the USA continues to see this as a national matter and fails to realize this is a global thing requiring a global response.

    "America first" is not going to cut it ... it's even the worst approach possible.

    Hi Ward,

    that be (Be them political, business, or media) that try and deal with
    the virus in ways that in the long run will result in a much more
    negative effect that the virus alone.

    Btw, a note to Jeff: There _can't_ be anything more negative than death. Ask my first-responder relative in NYC who died from it at the age of 28.

    Nothing will be achieved as long as the leadership in the USA continues to see >this as a national matter and fails to realize this is a global thing requirin
    a global response.

    I think that since NYC was a real hotspot early on picking up so much of the virus from it's ports of entry, airlines, trains, etc. etc., I could be wrong, but I think Gov. Cuomo knows that if the virus isn't seen as a global thing we are doomed. At least that is how he talks in his daily updates?

    "America first" is not going to cut it ... it's even the worst approach possible.

    Yes, that is true, it's the pits, just like Trump.

    Stay well,
    Janis
