If you listen closely to nothing else today, listen to the u. S. Surgeon general this morning. He does not mince word. This is going to be the hardest and the saddest week of most americans lives, quite frankly. This is going to be our pearl harbor moment, our 9 11 moment. Only, its not going to be localized, its going to be happening all over the country. And i want america to understand that. But i also want them to understand that the public along with the state and the federal government have the power to change the trajectory of this epidemic. We are struggling to get it under control. And thats the issue thats at hand right now. Just buckle down, continue to mitigate, continue to do the physical separation, because weve got to get through this week thats coming up, because it i
More than another name on the list that wont stop growing. The man who took his life, who suffocated him for eight minutes and 46 seconds, he still called him sir as he bagghe begged for life. I cant tell you the kind of pain you feel when you watch Something Like that. When you watch your big brother that you looked up to your entire life die begging for his mom . Im tired.
