Who has been working on this virus from the beginning when it first broke out in wuhan, china. They saw how it took down an entire citys Health Care System and resulted in over 3,000 deaths in china. Who has been warning about coronavirus for months but has been reluctant to make the pandemic decoration for fears of panic until today they decided now is the time. W. H. O.

He did not act quickly, early on. Why am i harping . I have to because the president , still, doesnt own the truth. No, i dont take responsibility at all. Now, re
There is no clear signal from mcconnell on what he thinks ought to be done about the crisis, let alone the strength of this deal thats being worked out without him. How do you read it . I read it as Mitch Mcconnell has no idea what to do. Like none. Zero. Wow. Totally lost. I believe you. Every once in awhile, its as simple as it looks. Thank you, my friend. Thank you, rachel. How much does it cost to get tested for coronavirus .
