How would you answer that ioquestion . Guest it is a question that we should never really have to ask but the state of the country today is such that it is a relevant question to ask unfortunately and we have seen over the past r six months or so significant violence erupting in cities from coast to coast and in americas heartland so it does raise the question in peoples minds how much of this violence, if any, is related to the political environment and whether it will continue after the election. None of us really have an answer to that but i worry a great deal that for example if President Trump is elected those who are opposed which seem to be, many of those thatt engaged in violet acts will continue their violence but it is difficult to say and its unfortunate that we are in a situation where the question has to be asked.

So, ye
Can you explain how you see us rounding the corner based upon the projection . If i did not close up our country, if i did not stop china highly infected from coming in, for did not stop europe from coming in far sooner than anybody else including dr. Fauci and others wanted to in dr. Fauci was very nice. He said President Trump made a great decision, we would have far more than that. But maybe even more importantly if i did not close up instead of the number that you mentioned or whatever it may be about 180, we would have one and a half or 2 Million Deaths right now if i went a different direction which some people wanted me too do and i decided not to do it. Now a lot of countries dont report their deaths, obviously chinas nonreporting because they had far more than we did, china had far more than we did, thats just my opinion but they do not report their deaths or report them accurately and i dont want to embarrass other countries but i can tell you there are other countries where
