I made a point of reading all 1,000 names and one-line mini-bios published in today’s New York Times. I paused on each for a moment of silence memorializing the needlessly lost life that bio tried to sum up in a few inadequate words. The loss I felt was incalculable.

I tried to imagine what that loss meant to the person named and to all that person’s loved ones. Each time I asked myself: Would that man or woman have died if a self-centered Narcissist like Trump hadn’t been president at the time? How many more lives will be needlessly lost if

he is re-elected and will be at the helm when this pandemic or a similar crisis hits during, heaven forbid, a second Trump term?

We can’t afford that risk. Biden and those he will bring into the government with him will know what the he’ll they’re doing.
