The Statistic
to Watch
The
only statistic to watch, nationally or by States, is the number of new
Coronavirus cases (not positive tests, but newly diagnosed people sick with
Covid19) each day. Until that number
stops increasing, we are in trouble. When it levels off, that is the light at
the end of the tunnel. When it starts
decreasing, that means the end of the Pandemic, at least here, is
approaching. Until we get to that "end," however, keep washing
your hands, not touching your face, practicing social distancing and not going back to work despite the words of the President. You will endanger yourself and others if you do so while the virus is still circulating.
To
battle the Pandemic, we need leadership in Washington. We don’t have that. Nature abhors a vacuum and that is what we
have in the White House. Sooner or
later, he will resign, be defeated in the election in November or be removed in
a bloodless coup. We must recognize that
a lot of Americans, with weapons, will be unhappy with any of these alternatives, but that is what
we have a military for. At least some States have closed gun stores. Others have not, deeming them "essential." It may be ugly.
Voting in Congress
Voting
in both Houses of Congress should be possible, at least during the Pandemic crisis,
without the Representative or Senator being on the floor. Travel is difficult and personal contact is
dangerous.
The
November Election
Steps
should be taken right now to guarantee the legitimacy of the November
presidential election. Voting by mail in
all states should be available and mandatory.
The Pandemic should not be allowed to reduce the voter turnout.
