The modern world. What i found even more telling was how things are invented. How invention itself is encouraged and nurtured. At least how it has been encouraged and nurtured in this country in the past. Its easy to say, as i do in my book, that we are a nation of tinkerers.

As of this morning only 1,991
In the mission, 22 residents tested positive for the multiple requests and it took six days to get everyone tested. We dont want to see this happen again. So having said this, at the heart of this matter for me is the basic idea of taking care of people. Constituents who are living in dangerous situation and bottom lines, and being our sisters and brothers keepers. Putting folks in hotel room where is they can be isolated and properly quarantined to protect them and others who have it, and to safely shelterinplace is what we need and thats why i support this legislation.
