Some Immutable COVID FACTS:

Young adults are the vector for the virus.

They go out and about. They are not afraid of getting infected.

They will infect others.

In a rare interview, Fed Chair Ben Bernenki said,
The virus = the economy. If we fail to control the virus and have to close down again, the economy will fail and will remain concerning for YEARS.

#CoronavirusIsEconomy

Our number of COVID cases never relented. It looked like it was going to stop rising, so Republicans pushed HARD to convince citizens it was safe and people should go out.

#Coronavirus

Republicans also ERRONEOUSLY recommend NOT wearing masks, by their example. This combination of behaviors is a DISASTER.

An unmitigated disaster.

#Coronavirus

If this pandemic follows the trajectory of the last one in 1918, our inability to control the virus now will lead to massive disaster later in the year. A massive, uncontrollable, hurricane-like national disaster.

Experts now say 200,000 will be dead by fall.

#Coronavirus

Many states are now having their all time high numbers of cases.

Arizona, Florida, Texas and many other states are raging.

The positivity rate is going UP which means these numbers are not even telling the whole story of increased cases.

Economic problem with this is that a second shutdown will destroy millions of small businesses who have been struggling to hang on. They are operating on fumes and hope.

A second shutdown will remove their fumes and hope. Many of them struggling with the loss of a family member and their business at the same time.

Across the nation, citizens STILL have not been able to access unemployment benefits. Scores of calls a day to speak to the mandatory technician remain unanswered.

Who knows if the money will still be there when they finally get through?

#Coronavirus

Only things we can do to stop this are to continue isolating and WEAR MASKS WHEN YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR HOME. Isolate completely if you have any symptoms.

Get used to wearing a mask PROPERLY all the time. UNDER your nose is NOT the correct way to wear one.

Removing trump/pence from office now would help a lot to save tens of 1000s of lives & what is left of economy.

Unfortunately, many investors are not coming to terms w/what is happening. Their impending shock upon final stock crash will also exacerbate the prob.

We don’t know if democracy will survive this. Masses of protestors showing up is encouraging. But there is much work to be done for years.

Young adults, u need to fight w/everything in u. Get your friends to do the same. Volunteer, donate, march, and speak.

#Coronavirus

There is no magic bullet. There is no miracle cure. Take each of the “massive breakthroughs” with a big, chunky grain of salt. Humans will not be able to resist that story. Stay focused and continue your isolation and mask wearing.

#Coronavirus

Let’s not forget 2 of Ivanka’s big investments since the trump mob took office are in coffins and body bags.

#Coronavirus

To survive this:

Stay connected. Call your friends and family a lot. Listen and share. Know, there is still love.
