COURAGE: These leaders have it

| April 5, 2020 1:00 AM

Big respect to the mayors and governors for taking steps to slow the spread of COVID-19, hence saving lives, even those not willing to accept the facts.

March 29, AP reported “world wide infections surpassed 660,000… with more than 30,000 deaths. U.S. leads in reported cases with more than 120,000, deaths surpassed 2,000 on Saturday, twice the number just two days before…”

This is not a political agenda. It’s a mutated cold virus new to our immune system. Leaders who choose to close nonessential businesses are protecting lives, even those who think money is more important than lives. We can help each other by not hoarding; I wish the stores would limit purchases so everyone could have enough.

We can help each other by freezing costs. We are capable of being good people.
