LETTER: Flood gates open

I can’t fight the common cold.

When I heard coronavirus attaches to the lungs I didn’t wait for instructions from others.

Fear does many things including blaming others.

Neither the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) nor the president knew we were headed for a pandemic.

No one knew how to address the situation while many decided to blame Trump.

Shame on the political fools who held up the plan-of-action to assist our nation at this crucial time. Let’s add some pork to our personal causes all the while people are dying and fear is growing rampant.

Trump and the medical community have done their best with the information they had to protect lives.

Trump’s model of limiting immigration has been followed around the globe and now anxiety is taking over.

Trump has a tough decision to make in regards to the economy.

Without a good economy, it may mean death in many other forms.

We can do this if we treat COVID-19 like carbon monoxide, we can’t see it, we can’t smell it, but if it gets you with or without medical attention you could die.

You will be the ultimate decision-maker when the flood gates open.

God bless you and God bless America.
