National Response

As a lot of the country is trying it's best to isolate, mask up and wash hands to stave off Covid-19

we have to deal with an increasingly irresponsible president who denies the truth, wants to hide the increasing numbers of infections and deaths, and derides anyone who tells the truth.

He encourages the nation to open up despite the risk.

He refuses to take precautions himself like wearing a mask in public or keeping a safe distance. 

He has started to self-medicate on a drug that is unproven to help Covid-19 but proven, in some cases, to cause

 heart disease and death.

In the small country of Panama there are very rigid restrictions on gatherings, on venturing out of one's house, and even on consuming liquor in one's home .  The government there is taking responsibility for its people.

Would that the same could be true here.

In Rachel Maddow's words:

This is an awful time to have an awful president.
