Some GREAT News
Reading our hometown newspaper, thought I would share some VERY POSITIVE news about this. It is a learning curve folks...ALL if it for ALL of us is a learning curve.
Hang in there....this too shall pass! Stay positive: Here are 23 pieces of good news regarding COVID-19 - Houston Chronicle |
Yes, my guess is April 26th if we follow China’s pattern. It took China 15 weeks from the first case to today to turn around enough to open Apple store, Starbucks, loosen travel restrictions...

China was a lot tougher on their citizens. No national "shelter in place" order has come from Trump and the Fed Gov as they continue to talk but are directionless. The States have taken the lead on all of this.

So one month ago I guessed that if we followed China’s pattern, at least what they claim to have said, we’d start up opening in the US by April 26th. But now I’m thinking it may be a bit too soon if people start traveling from contagious areas.

I'm thinking about taking a drive up to Georgia, to get a haircut, maybe a pedicure...and then go bowling. :ohdear:

America has 50 individual states and the Governor’s are responsible to close and reopen their states as they see fit. But go ahead blame Trump. |

If you are struggling with the powers of the federal government vs the powers of the individual states you should go back and research the real cause of our Civil War. (Hint: it was not started over the popular, in hindsight cause, wonderful as it was). Our president and governors are doing their level best to balance out their powers and work together, I MO. |

Actually, the "real" cause WAS by that...which you just allude to. The overwhelming "State's Right's" that those who seceded were almost wholly interested in...was owning other human beings. :ohdear: |

To this day, there are certain states that have large populations that wouldn't have a problem of going back to slavery...or at the very least 'Jim Crow' laws. :mad: And thanks for the (I assume, well-intentioned) advice, but my hands, like my conscience...are very clean. :ho: |
