We head into Independence Day weekend. Boy, we are not liberated from this virus. 128,000 dead. The cdc tonight projecting another 20,000 will die within the next three weeks or so. 38 states seeing cases on the rise. Almost half the nation halting reopening plans or rolling them back. Why . Because we didnt do it right. Because we dont have a plan that keeps us all together. How can this president look you in the eye and expect you to buy the crap that this crisis is being handled .
