SOME THOUGHTS ON COVID-19

The Three Stooges: Graham, Trump, and McConnell

It seems like nothing in history has had a profound effect on life, as I know it as does the Covid-19 or Coronavirus has. If you scan the newspapers you will see nothing about foreign or domestic news except the virus. The issues facing us as Americans: is do we have enough ventilators, masks and other equipment to successfully combat the virus and keep our medical people safe.

The sports world is non-existent at this point; the major sports leagues have all canceled their schedules for the exception of the NFL, which is not scheduled to begin until September. However, I would not bet on that for sure.

I watch the TV and most TV talking heads are still at it but the guest instead of appearing in the TV studios are at home doing their reporting.

The stock market is quickly fading and many of us will no longer be solvent as retirement accounts are disappearing. The malls and small businesses are closed while restaurants are reduced to take-out only. Gathering more than 10 people is highly discouraged and don’t you dare hug or shake hands. Our primary elections are put on hold and flying is becoming endangered, meaning I can’t visit my grandchildren or even see my three kids.

And who is leading us, a Doctor Fauci, or an Andrew Cuomo or a mayor from New York City? Every day the restrictions become more pronounced as the death toll and other bad news become more prevalent for Americans.

Where is the national leadership? Why has the President failed to lead? Where are his plans and reassurances to Americans? How could this child be given the task that only a logical and mature mind can handle, not his childishness?

I think that in this time of crisis for our country, as the Republican Senate has a responsibility to correct the mistakes they made at the the impeachment trial of the President to demand his resignation, and that of both Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham also step down. All three have proven beyond a doubt they are incapable of leadership.

Due to the inability of the president to lead since he has no experience in leadership, we need to make a change now, for the sake of our freedoms, the prevention of a delayed national election, and the saving of our national economy.
