Each and every person has different ways to handle things in real life, that are either depressing, disturbing or bothersome in their lives.We all have our own coping methods, some yell, scream, rant, complain and act out. Some hide and go into isolation and quiet reflection, and others are extroverts, who can only express themselves very emotionaly.

I have witnesses all of the above in different people in my life, I have seen grown men cry openly in public, and while in Service, tears running down their faces as they still perform their duties. I have seen full grown men and women, crumble and then come back, so it is indeed a fact all of us face these moments and times. It’s how you manage or navigate them that makes you a better person or not.

Some crumble under pressure, stress, tension and peer pressure. Others don’t and will continue to move forward in life, while other end up frozen in one spot, stuck and unable to comprehend what is really happening to them.

Then we have the ones who can’t take a hint, a suggestion, or the feeling of not being wanted and they still attempt to hang on, trying to bea part of a group, club, or organization they really don’t fit into. Sadly, it happens, some think the old line, I don’t care what you say or do to me, your not making me surender or leave. Under these circumstances they become outlanders as I call them, those who sit on the outside backing at the door asking to be accepted but won’t be because they can never learn to adapt and change enough to belong and fit in.

Each of us handle situations differently in our lives, some escape into virtual worlds, on computers, some run by themselves in everyday life, some try to fit in and just can’t. We have Loners, and joiners, we have leaders and followers, and if you look closely, you can determine for yourself which you really are, but to do so, you must stop, realize what is happening to you and why and then reevaluate your self.

Personal reflection and thought many save your life, make a big difference in your life and the life of those around you, or that you are trying to fit in with. People need to step back at times and go, why don’t I fit in here with this group, why do I not feel like I belong here no matter how I try? Few stop to do this and they press forward so hard trying to belong, they end up being alienated and shunned. DOn’t go there folks, if you face the facts and don’t fit in and know it and can feel it, then get out try something new, it’s not for you. It’s that simple!

All you anger, or feelings of inadequacy will disappear once you realize, the fact. you do not belong and are in the wrong place. The fact is the sooner you realize it the less you will feel tension, stress, or be bothered by making yourself into a pretzel to fit in. Then, you learn to just be yourself and only do what you can, not what others expect you to me. IT is a lot more healthier for you as a human being, and an overall person, and our life will get better if you do.

Improvements come in many ways, physical locations, personal property, social acceptance and emotional well being, but only if you realize you can’t fit in everywhere or be where it just doesn’t work for you. The world is a large place, even now in the coronavirus era. So wake up and stop bucking the world and try to fit in where you do, not where you do not!

In, life there are things no one can control, our emotions get the best of all of us at times. We tend to over express love, hate, anger, and in the end doing so gets us all in some trouble in life.

As Teens we fall for someone, and we go head over heels trying to attract their attention and to get to hold them and kiss them, and more. Some of us tend to go too far in doing so, and end up being chased out by others, or being accused of stalking, which we never really do. IT’s all a matter of degrees, when your teenager in love, so you learn to let go and move on.

When your in you next stage, your find you can love without being clingy or needed or stalking anyone. And longer term relationships start happening, For some sooner than later, but eventually it happens for most, unless you mentally or emotional ill. Many are in the world and in American Society.

By your twenties, you are now smart enough to go ok, I want this person in my life and this is what I can do to make it so, so you do it and make compromises as necessary and needed to have the one you care for close at all times. Even then it only works sometime sif your careful and work hard at it, other wise it will blow apart if jealousy or anger or outside influences come into play. Many, fail at the art of communication at this stage, while they say, they are not listened to, they also forget to listen themselves. Thus communication breaks down between the couple and there goes the relationship. For most the trial and error method of this works well and they move on to search for someone new and to start over. Some start over before the relationship really ends and people call this cheating, and it adversely affects all involved. The important point at this moment is to remember, both sides that separate made mistakes not just oe side and oth need to learn and grow from it before they can move on comfortably and find what they really seek a partner. Thus we have separations and divorces folks.

Then, when you finally and fully mature, you learn a few important facts about yourself and others. One you find out yes, you can survive on your own. Two, there is no reason to be emotionally dependent of another. Once you get those two facts down fully, then you are ready to openly communicate and listen and meet others, to attempt again. For most it is at this point we reach and find what we seek a partner that works, and a relationship no works. It, wil never be one hundred percent perfect as a relationship, none are, but it will be so well fitted, that it will work for you both and last for decades and the rest of your life.

Then once you have this stage in your life, you finally have stability, and can live a peaceful life and prosper, children get raised, homes get paid off, bills paid regularly and then your suddenly a grandparent and great grandparent. So you make plans for your demise also, will get written and plans for how you wil be buried and where you will rest for eternity. LIfe has run it’s course and all you did in life and who you affected is how you will be remembered

Your Real Legacy, folks, is each day you live and how you treat others and what you do for others, not yourself, always remember that. You get remembered for how you treat others.

What makes a good manager?

While a leader is simply a figurehead, a manager should exhibit the right leadership skills to motivate their team to work harder and get projects done faster. Good managers need to be empathetic, exhibit the behavior they want from their team, take responsibility for their actions, delegate effectively, and give praise when needed.

The United states Military teaches all of the above, as a Veteran I understand all of it. As The Navy teaches, Lead by example, lead by doing things right, be honest and above all don’t ask anyone to do anything you wouldn’t do yourself. Leadership is a skill yes, yet, a rank or title does not make one a leader, what it does make is a figurehead only.

In life, we all go through periods of problems, distress, stress or tension. Everyone does at one point or another, and it is how you overcome and get through them that counts. The ones who make it and achieve their goals and are successful have certain things that carry them through. a simple reflection, can show you if you have those characteristics and qualities and abilities to do so.

We don’t have time in a blog to discuss all of those qualities and characteristics. I can get to one very important part of all successful people, it’s called self-control.

Self-Control is, the ability to control one’s own actions and emotions at all times, to reach the destination or destiny you wish to reach as a goal at the end.

In each of our lives, we set goals for ourselves, for some it is marriage, some it is being the Boss or Manager, or owning our own business. For others, it is more simple, like hust being the best person we can be, for the world to see.

What, hurts is when you lose Self- Control period. Many of us spiral out of control due to drug addiction, alcohol addition, mental illness or low self-esteem. Sadly, in each of these instances, the individual in each case has lost self-control found them dependent on something, someone or a condition or position for one reason or another and can’t see what it is, to overcome it.

Self-Control is vital in all we do daily, whether it is a simple task, like feeding a dog or cleaning your own home, or a complicated one like completing college or serving your Country, Marriage, or even having children. Without self-control, we lose purpose and the ability to reach out goals in life, we get sidetracked or we surrender and give up. Why, we lost self-control and perspective, as well as the vision of where we want to go.

Here is the definition of self-control for all to see and Understand:

The ability to control oneself, in particular one’s emotions and desires or the expression of them in one’s behavior, especially in difficult situations.

So how do we maintain self-control so we overcome? We do it by:

1) Controlling our own emotions,

2) By keeping a vision and eye on the set goals we have

3) By ignoring or blocking out outside influences to us reaching our goals.

4) By separating the goals, from outside emotions cause by others in our lives, and protecting ourselves ot do so.

5) To do reach it all takes Self-Control, self control includes nor only physical control but mental control as we as emotional control.

Many times, it is the final one that gets people the most emotional control, for we all get emotional over certain subjects, acts or actions the take place around us, or by others towards us .If we want to reach a goal and get it done, we can’t get emotional and let it interfere in what out mission is. or our goal or goals.

Here are five ways to help improve self-control and build good habits:

1. Remove temptation. We are not wired to consistently resist temptation, a study found that the way most people resist temptation is to remove the temptation. …
2. Measure Your Progress. …
3. Learn How To Manage Stress. …
4. Prioritize Things. …

Much of the above comes from the internet and I used public information for this article. yet it pertains to life in general, and can help many people, get ahead.

Ratzu Darkstone who owns and runs, Austin, Cafe LaPe’rouse @ Austin Island-The Story of O@ Austin, wanted Persistence, Grit and Determination, from those who were in his sim. Well, I have plenty as he now should know! The sad thing is he is a predator, and a phoney in all ways.

Sometimes, the hardest part of life is facing a failure or setback, and having to admit, your responsible for it yourself, and it’s no one else’s fault, no matter how you end up looking at it in the end. I have been there many times in my life, and know at times I am my own worse enemy, I get to a point where I let things buildup inside me and then one small thing, and suddenly I explode in anger. For each of us as humans, we are taught to hold our own so to say, to try to solve things ourselves without bothering others. We do it as men and women because we believe we have the real solutions and then find out we were wrong and end up making mistakes that cost us what we really want in the end. So how does one overcome and get to where one wants to go, in the end?

Some will withdraw, and hide and try hard not to show their pain, and then find out, they can’t hide it, because, it rises to the top and breaks over the dam we put in place to control it. I have been there more than once in my own personal life and I can honestly say, I have overcome so much in my life, it is crazy.

As a child, I fought everything around me, why, simple, I was hyperactive and had attention deficit disorder. In my days growing up the mid 1960’s, they had no idea what it was yet. So as I struggled to fit in and failed I faced problems with both my family and those in school too. I retreated into a world of books and comic books and then into the woods in the back of where I lived. Yet that didn’t work or alleviate the problem in my family life or school either.

Again, when one holds back a ton of emotions and fears, it will explode. It did with me as a ten year old one day, and that explosion broke a window almost hurt those I loved and in the end, marked me as a problem child. So, my parents decided they couldn’t handle me anymore and called in the State and made me a ward of the state. Which in turn brought in Social Workers, who then thought the best solution was to remove me from the environment I was in and get me help. I ended up in an Institution for two years from age ten to twelve. Did I belong there, not really, but in it I witnessed things I should never have, I witnessed drug overdoses, rapes, and in the end, I even attempted my first kiss there and failed. By the time the two years were over, I fought my way through my own emotions and asked to go home and got returned to my family. I was tagged in the Institution as emotionally damaged, when in fact I wasn’t, as I said.

I overcame this and so much more in my family. I over came verbal and physical abuse also there. My journey was far from over for sure, By 16 years old I had found friends and surrogate parents, because I couldn’t handle the abuse and anger I faced under my families roof, at home. These surrogate families, were there and would guide me and help me along, each in a different way, but it worked.

I overcame being a high school dropout too, by getting a GED a year later. That led me to a military life I started in The US Army, then US Army National Guard and then The United States Navy. I persisted through it all and made mistakes along the way of course everyone does, I overcame though, by adapting to the military rules and regulations and trying to be the best I could. I was slow and reluctant at first, but, I came around to stay in the military for 16 years. I wish I could have made 20, but an injury took me out, in the end I have five Honorable Discharges to my name from three branches, and all my benefits intact. I overcame through determination and grit and more. I never surrendered.

Overcoming things is a way of life and when you stop trying you may as well lay down and die I say. Life will continue on and as it does adapting, learning and growing are vital in life itself. I know because I overcame a divorce next in my life and losing my daughters to a mother who had her own mental problems too. But, I never quit and overcame to know my daughters and their children too, my grandkids are great.

Overcoming, standing tall became a thing to do, in my military life as well as after it. It took to age 40 to get a College Degree but I did it. I earned Honors and a 3.7 grade point average out of a possible 4.0, it took me three years instead of two but I got it. I got awarded for my studies too, the awards hang on my office wall today. I went on to run Hotels and Restaurants as a Manager. But, injuries and mistakes don’t stop and we face and overcome still.

By the time I was forty one I had to face my naval injuries and couldn’t work anymore. Did I surrender no. I was deemed unemployable by doctors, and had to give up work. I went on to write blogs, bury two parents who died of lung cancer. Then, later I had more come at me. In 2006, my second wife came down with breast cancer and that fight began. we still fight it today in 2020. In the middle in 2013 I survived lung cancer myself losing a lobe and a third of my right lung. I survive because i have grit, determination, and persist through it all and I adapt and conform when needed. It’s a lesson many still need to learn in life.

My lil books and poems are online as I write now and then, as are my blogs here. I do that, plus, I care for my cancer filled wife daily, a home that is paid off and has been now for years. I suffer from PTSD from childhood and Military lives. I am on a cpap machine nightly to help me breathe. So some try to tell me my anger gets the better part of me at times, but the truth is, it doesn’t normally, it takes a lot to get me to get angry and for me to go off. Normally, I get along with all I meet in life, and I won’t stand down when attacked or those who I love are attacked either.

You want to achieve in life, in real life or in a job, marriage, or even in a virtual one online, you, adapt to what is happening and what goes on and adjust period. If you want something bad enough you do it folks, believe me, if you don’t failure is what you end up with, ok.

Recently, I listened to someone hold a discussion online in a virtual world, talking about grit and determination and preserving through it all to come out the otherside. I just listened and said nothing, but when Ratzu Darkstone was done I felt, he was preaching what I already knew and know, and I wonder what he would say if he lived my life and knew the truth regarding my life. I wonder.

Never Surrender is a Military saying and Creed for a reason, now you know why!

Each day we wake up in 2020, we are lucky, as thousands have now died of coronavirus/ Covid -19. The Virus spreads at fast rates and attacks the human body in many ways. As Doctors and medical and Scientific experts will tell you this virus is not going anywhere folks, it is going to be around for a long time, maybe forever. There is no vaccine or miracle cure, for it, it attacks the elderly, the weak, and now the children if it reaches them. In other words the virus is not discriminating folks, it attacks all alike.

As the numbers climb in deaths and those infected with this virus, Trump sits in the White House as President, firing heads of departments left and right. His purpose should be working overtime for a decent and safe plan to open the country, that he keeps telling everyone, he wants to do. Opening the economy and country at this time may cost, more american lives than many can stand for. The Virus as I said, has no vaccine and is not going anyway, which means as more come out to use businesses and go back to work or school, the more that will get Covid-19, The numbers are increasing daily, but they will multiply now.

Americans are stubborn and overly proud people, they will not wear masks and many don’t wash daily as they should. Soap, water, sanitizer, shampoo all good for killing the virus. You need sanitizer 24/7 folks, it dries your skin out. Wipes work for surfaces of course like your car, counters, door knobs and things for touch. Keep distancing, to 6 feet apart, stay safe and healthy, stay home.

Yes I know summer is coming and the beaches will open again and more. But, I warn all, any place with large gatherings or crowd will spread the virus in someway. So I would say stay away from crowds and be careful in stores and malls too. Large crowds or strangers or people you don’t know can be taking a chance at getting Covid-19. Be careful, be safe.

As the year goe son and the virus continues to spread and be here, Trump’s cries about the economy is not really about jobs, or money, it is really about how to get r elected in November of 2020, period. The Truth is Trump has no real accomplishments as President, to really brag on now. He is counting on The economy to return to get re elected in November, he is not concerned with how many will get Covid-19 or die at all, if he was, he would have a Federal Program to fight the virus out there. He doesn’t and never has produced one so far and we are now in mid , May or 2020 and this virus came out in either NOvember or December of 2019. He refuses to listen to scientist and medical experts and when they tell him 18 month to a virus he tells americans, ity will be here by December. What will happen, honestly is the cases of Covid-19 will rise quicker now that the economy is opening back up, and more will die at a faster rate. It will be on Trump’s record and reflect back on him that he failed to act on time, nor did he come up with a plan once he did react, period, it’s a sad thing. How many americans are losing family to Covid-19, and going why? NOt being able to attend funerals and burials of your loved ones, and saying goodbye over video connections, it’s sad. IT really is, yet the Trumpers will scream you down, chase you or attack you to protect Trump, who they follow blindly an dnever examine the facts of.

Come November 3rd, 2020, it will be up to Americans to say yes or no to Trump, for another 4 years. I suggest to all, don’t repeat the mistake of 2016 please! Because in my opinion, I have a dog, who could make better decisions and who has better leadership talents and qualities then Donald J. Trump.

Why does it seem to me, that Trump, our President doesn’t care how many die from his opening up of the American economy? His soul purpose is to reopen the American Economy to get re-elected in the fall, that’s it folks. As the numbers grow and they will now that people are disregarding the virus due to Trump, the body counts will rise. As they do you need to ask yourself a question, What kind of a man and President would do this and let thousands die due to his pushing america to reopen and go back to work?

With that said, even Trumps own people are getting the virus in the White House including his Coronavirus team itself. Yet he presses on to reopen the economy, why he wants to be a hero and get reelected and his blind followers back him, go out publicly without masks and protection constantly and the death toll rises in america. All so he can get reelected. He has failed at everything he has done as president, I would never vote for him, because he is selfish, narcissistic, idiotic, telling people to drink disinfectant, come on! America made the biggest mistake it ever could in electing Trump President he is the laughing stock of the world.

As the numbers climb, Trump scrambles trying to answer reporters questions, he has no answers, so he deflects, lies and states outrageous bullshit, publicly. The truth is his followers believe him and do as he says and end up ona slab, dead and their families crying over their deaths.

Reality does not fit Trump’s world in anyway, he is lost and doing as he pleases, costing people their lives and families pain and suffering and lost. The numbers attributed to his plans and ways and orders will climb, sadly he will go down in History as the worst American President in our History.

As America’s death toll from the coronavirus rises, and the world’s too, is it logical and making sense that due to economies, the world wants to reopen and intermingle again to make money flow?

I understand the facts in this case in many ways, The want to make ends meet and for men and women to go out and provide for their families. I also understand the medicalcaring of home bound patients I have one in my wife who has breast cancer here in my home since 2006. I survived lung cancer myself in 2013, and have diabetes and PTSD and more. So, O more than most do know what being in a high risk category for getting coronavirus also known now as Covid-19.

Yet, President Trump is urging americans to take a risk and go out and work again and put themselves at risk to first catch Covid-19, which is nasty as a virus even if you survive it and live through having, or facing death from it.

The Economy is important yes folks I agree, but before you all rush out, remember there is no cur for Covid-19, there is no vaccine and there probably won’t be till mid 2021. Scientist, medical experts are all saying the same thing, viruses take time to be found number one, working viruses that are safe don’t just come out of the blue to stop such a virus, hard work and research is what takes time. Then you, have to mass produce it before it can be given to all, it has to pass all trials and be safe for humans to take. All Medical Experts and Scientist will tell you the same.

Our President, wants us to rush out, and reopen the economy and country with no worry about how many more will get sick and or die. They contain or control the Covid-19 Virus in the White House, never mind the country. So, now President Trump is not letting anyone not tested near him, his valet has the virus and so does Vice President Pence’s Secretary. The White House is scrambling to do tracing to see who was in contact with those, who have had it. The Advantage the President has and all in governemnt is simple they can get a Covid-19 test daily, we the citizens of America can’t.

I remind all of today’s numbers pertaining to the Covid-19 Virus as of this last report I found on the Internet—

Confirmed1.38M+17,776- confirmed cases/ COnfirmed deaths-81,491

So As I remind you of those numbers I ask you this question, why is it ok for us to rush out and restart the economy, and Trump and his family and the politicians of america ok to hide and not come out themselves? Why is it The White House and it’s people from the President on down to he Senate and house of Representatives to get daily testing and not us, the citizens? The numbers above were not supposed to be 81,000 r more deaths until august folks, but, they are now higher than predicted and will continue to grow. Do you wish to be one?

I say, forget reopening the country to reelect a failing President who wants reelection! Stay Home, Stay social distancing, use masks and sanitizer and wash yourself daily, soap and water! Take care and protect yourself and those you love, the ones who haven’t are now a part of the 81,491 deaths above. Be safe out there!

May is now upon us all in the World, we are hunkered down. frighten, scared and worried about surviving. As other Americans suddenly believe it is time to reopen America, I disagree, completely. There is no vaccine for Covid-19 folks and it will not just die off on it’s own. 65,655 Americans are dead due to the virus, and in the end we still don’t know where it came, from or how to stop or kill it before it kills us.

I tire of sarcastic individuals or those trying to be funny, about this virus covid-19. It’s killing people at a rate of 2.8 per 100, it hits. No Seasonal Flu did not kill at that rate and still never will. Coronavirus is killing at twice to almost 3 times the rate of the flu folks. The numbers are staggering, the hospitals are full and backed up, medications for conditions other than those for the virus are drying up.

Food is out there but I ask, do you want to go to store or supermarket to shop these days, I don’t and you shouldn’t either. People have no idea what social distancing is, and because some don’t want to believe in it or listen to the guidelines, people bump into one another stand in line and rush and then bam, someone sneezes, someone coughs and you now have a whole line of people or a store of people infected with it. It spreads that fast, do you understand that America?

Look I am not saying panic, but if you don’t stay home , stay isolated the best we can, this virus will keep spreading and killing. It’s that simple, OK!

Confirmed 1.13M- cases of Covid-19 65,605- Deaths These numbers grow daily and people run around making jokes, being sarcastic and try to back Trump and all he says about, said virus. The Facts are simple and Trump will never admit a thing he screwed up. No I don’t blame him for the virus, I blame him for not reacting when he should have, for not stopping and going we have a problem here. I blame him for lack of preparations, I blame him for not listening to medical and scientific individuals who are specialist. Trump’s only interest is himself, his own reelection in November and his own money woes. He never refilled stock piles for this pandemic, he cut funding to many things he had no business touching, without looking. Trump has failed at everything he touches and because of his ignorance and his, I am in charge attitude, millions have died now. and Millions more will still. His stupidity of lets reopen America, is like the dumb leading the dumb here, it’s a flashback to the movie DUMB and DUMBER in my book. There is nothing as sad as seeing a United States President stand on public television and ask if people can inject disinfectants into themselves. I have a 3 year old child who would tell you it kills people if you ingest it, warning labels all over it, yet he said it on television. Children heard it and reached for it and parents had to stop it, the poison Control Centers had to stop people from doing it, over the phones and internet. Trump has no idea what he is doing and someone should tell him to not give speeches on this virus, to be quiet and allow the experts to speak only. Sadly, Americans will do what they want and venture out, get the virus and die, there is no vaccine people understand that. No vaccine, no way to stop the virus from killing you and me, understand. Hunker down, stay safe, stay home, and don’t go to parks and beaches or clubs or stores or go to the movies or go bowling or anything else. You do, you are taking the chance of getting this virus and passing it on to your family and loved ones. Do you want to wake up one day, and get a phone call your family member or friend died of covid-19 and you gave it to them and are responsible for it? I know I don’t want to.

As the virus rages through humanity across the world, we hunker down in mass in our homes and try to prevent ourselves and our loved ones from getting it, in anyway. Each day is a adventure in survival, as we try to get the food, and drinks and medications we all need to survive.

Here there are only two of us, my wife and I, huddled in our home, I am 64 and have a lobe and one third less than a normal man, due to lung cancer in 2013. My wife, is 79 going on 80 in September and she has breast cancer stage 4, that has metastasized to her bones and her battle includes, immunotherapy treatments and blood draws and shots.

Now, I am stable myself, My cancer was taken out but hers is ongoing everyday. As millions of americans, fight for survival in the sameway we are, it is people like my wife and I who at the highest risk for getting this virus. If it hits either of us in anyway, we may as well just call the coroner and have the body bags ready. We are realistic people, trying to survive, not playing games and yet the coronavirus, is here and no one is really safe, out there.

We had started ordering groceries for delivery, and found it was nice to pay for it to be done and feel a little safer when they were deposited on our doorstep. The next time we tried to do the same every delivery date was filled up and I was forced to put in for pick-up of said groceries. Which means I am taking a chance at 64 with a lung cancer history in doing so, but I have no choice but to do so if I am to feed us both.

Americans, have gone completely crazy due to this virus, and completely selfish and foolish too. Lets hoard toilet paper and sanitizer and more. Why? Look let me say this to all, the virus has nothing to do with your ass end being wiped. As to sanitizers for your hands, ever hear of soap and water, or clorox bleach or Mr. Clean. The unrealistic approach of hoarding things, is nuts folks.

As we stay home and hope the curve levels or comes down and less deaths occur and a vaccine can be found, lets remember to help our seniors, keep them safe and our children too. I know each of us, are worried about getting the coronavirus and I agree worry, be alert, watch who you touch, do social distancing, but don’t go crazy, and hoard and be so selfish you destroy others and give them no chance for living themselves. We are one race, humanity, be realistic here, be a little kinder, and don’t be like some stupid ass survivalist ina death movie. OK?

People fighting over cleaners and sanitizers and toilet paper will not stop the virus, staying home will slow it down and the rest is a waiting game on the scientists and doctors to find a vaccine for this virus. As we all wait and be extra careful, do us all a favor, act with humanity and common sense, have a little bit of manners and show some courtesy to Seniors and children too.

President Trump has sent too many Americans into a panic attack with his stupid speeches and false words. He is not a Doctor folks he is playing to his base and playing politic with this virus, just trying to get re elected. You can’t re-open churches and pack them by Easter, you can’t realistically predict when this will end. Nor, can you predict, when a vaccine will be found and be ready for all humans, that’s a long process. President Trump wants to reboot the American economy, so he can get re elected not for any other reason. If you reboot the economy, you send people to work spaces, factories, offices where people get packed into by any where from 5 to 10 to 100’s in small spaces. Not the right answer folks, stay home! The virus is out there, we don’t know who is just a carrier and spreader, and we only know the numbers we are getting on a delayed basis, it has to catch up for the correct figure to be compiled for release. Trump think every speech on coronavirus isa platform speech to boast about some achievement his administration has done, when in fact, he has failed at all of it. Yes listen to the medial speeches, do what we did Doctors are done, cut Trump off, his political bullshit has nothing to do with what we all need to hear and know, how to beat coronavirus, how to stop it’s spread and how to stay alive and avoid it. He can claim whatever he wishes, he failed as a President in everything he has touched, and he has failed to handle this crisis correctly too. He is not a President, he isa cheerleader asking you to play his game, dont!

Stay Home, Stay Safe, only go out if absolutely needed for food or medicines. Don’t get close to anyone, wear masks and stay clean at all times. Be safe Americans, Be Safe world, this virus will run it’s course, we will find a vaccine, and in the end, we will survive as one humanity on the only planet we will ever have that supports human life. So, stop, Think, stay safe, stay clean, stay home!.
