For the record.

What was the Republican response to FDR's Japanese internment camps? - Quora

With few exceptions, most political figures, Republican and Democrat, supported Japanese internment, especially politicians on the west coast. Two exceptions who were Republicans were:

Your point??
Don't you find it interesting that 1,440,741 cases minus 83,082 deaths is 1,357,659 yet only 237,256 have recovered since January?? Where did the other 1,120, 403 go? Mars?

The data misrepresents reality. First, CDC suspects that there have been been tens of thousands who never got a test who may have had the virus. It could have also been the flu but we'll never know. Second, I find it very hard to believe that over 1 million are still sick after several months. That means the recovered number is probably 5 times higher. In simple math terms 94% of the reported cases have had the virus and recovered.

no one should be doing any victory laps about covid-19 yet...(and I'm not suggesting that the OP is doing or promoting that)

we have taxed our medical community to the limit...there are jobs and businesses that will not come back...too many people have died along because their families were not allowed to be at their side

we're not out of the woods on this by a long shot

the ramifications from this pandemic will absolutely define this decade and define who we are as a country

our individual behavior will define who we truly are and what we are made of....think about the legacy that you want to leave behind for your kids, your grandkids and your friends

These are desperate times...desperate times require disciplined action and disciplined behavior to successfully emerge and carry on. Most of us have never been tested like we've been tested lately due to covid-19 and will continue to be tested by this pandemic

It will take courage, resourcefulness, common sense, faith and integrity over the long haul to get through this together.

BTW - Integrity is the most important...because if you don't have integrity, nothing else matters

so let's pull together like the generations before us did during WWII

just saying

So far all of my old colleagues still have not been called back to work in thE OR. 79% still waiting for hospitals to reopen, and bring staff in for more than 3 hours. Some have been told may not happen until late fall. Lots of talent just sitting with no benefits or unemployment
