Do not kid yourself about why we are not doing better in the US. There are powerful people talking about it as I write this, arguing over how many people is acceptable to them to have die in order to save the stock market. Don’t just listen to the news; understand the news.

S. Korea has tested 140,000 for coronavirus; we’ve tested fewer than 10,000. When they give numbers of confirmed cases in USA, the numbers are meaningless because our testing rate is so low. We need to spend everything necessary in order to provide free testing & free treatment.

If this were a “foreign enemy” attacking us, I promise you there would be more than an $8.5 billion emergency expenditure. Right now we have a $738B Defense budget while the CDC budget is 1.5% of that. Do the math, see the priorities, yell like crazy. Politely, of course :)

In order to catch up, we must be willing to shatter that economic paradigm. It will be no good to save a business if the people forced to show up for work are spreading a potentially deadly disease. The only way to save our economy turns out to be by saving our people.

The ideological obsession on the part of the administration and Senate to put protection of the stock market before protection of our people is what has put the United States so behind the curve in dealing with the coronavirus crisis.

Why so little coronavirus testing? Because it would prove what our govt doesn’t want to acknowledge: to face the challenge we need a vast mobilization of $, infrastructure & public investment that goes way beyond their ideological insistence on letting people fend for themselves

Separation of Church and State has nothing to do with whether or not the president says “God bless America.”

Trump’s speech tonight ended with this: “God bless you, and God bless America.” Our next president should add another sentence after that: “And God bless the world.”
