>…I think  a lot of people are blaming Trump.  He is beinwho said Xi's lies were OK? Not Spike, not anyone on this list.  JOhn, you are making up ideas and putting them in our heads and then blaming us for them.  That's called projection. Please stop.   It's on the road to paranoia.  bill w

 

 

Treating the US as one covid jurisdiction is misleading as well.  It is 57 different jurisdictions, but some of those 57 are really also collections of authority seats, and all of which really need different rules (such as California with 58 mostly independent covid jurisdictions).

 

POTUS really can’t do much: closing borders is not an option, legally or otherwise.  People cross it anyway, even where illegal.  The US has a lot of foreign travelers and there is no practical means of keeping them from coming home.

 

At some point, we must embrace the notion that government cannot help us.  We can help us.  We are responsible for our destiny.  If you have the option to quarantine yourself from everyone, well, that will keep you safe, at a price.  If you don’t have that option (most of us do not) then… well, good luck, best wishes, may you escape and may you live long and prosper.  This is my most sincere blessing I can give, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
