Put trumpty dumpty aside, Americans need to ask themselves this difficult question…..WHY U.S. IS HAVING +20% OF COVID-19 FATALITIES AND +25% OF INFECTIONS GLOBALLY WHILST THEY ACCOUNT FOR ONLY 2% OF THE GLOBAL POPULATION? WHAT HAS U.S. DONE DIFFERENTLY DONE THE OTHER COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD? WHAT HAS U.S. NOT DONE, THAT OTHER COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD HAVE DONE?

I’m SO tired of hearing “we’re testing more and with more testing we’ll find more confirmed cases.” That’s like saying we’re testing more, and with more pregnancy tests we’ll find more confirmed pregnancies. Such stupidity 🤦🏻♀️

maybe they met up for a little protesting… lets not forget that.

In Florida my husband had an appointment for a test and it took 3.5 hours for him to be tested.

Stay home on 4th July. It could save your and your loved ones’ lives. If you stay safe there will be many more 4th July celebrations in the future. Keep Covid free and wear a mask. If Europe can overcome Covid, so can USA

Abbott speaks: “I decided to open Texas to let the circus operate; to let huge rich, corporations maximize profits; to let the zoo run wild; strip clubs digress, & that I can go off to the Buhamas.

Did you know that your government is buying the production of a whole year of Remdezivir worldwide? Thanks a lot from the rest of the world! Just stay home, behave responsibly and don‘t act like a bunch of spoiled children

Living in the Dallas area and will be spending the weekend camping with my family and a family of close friends that work with my husband in a small business of just them in the office daily. Away from everyone with people that are part of our daily bubble. No contact with others and peace and quiet outside and away from home in our camper. Best and safest way to enjoy this holiday weekend!

I’m dreading to go to work this weekend. I have an autoimmune disease and the majority of our customers don’t wear masks or socially distance. I tried to get tested a couple of weeks ago, I was having symptoms that ended up being tonsillitis, but they’re only testing people in Collin County who require hospitalization. Still, we can’t get tested even when we’re symptomatic. Management wants me there even with symptoms, coworkers are coughing, so we’re obviously lying on our health checks when our shifts start. They don’t give us an option to stay home if we can’t get a test to prove if we have the virus or not. I wish our customers crowding into the store knew. These companies aren’t watching out for anyone. Corporate, who makes all the rules, are still working from home.
