It is great to be with you. I certainly had a very enjoyable drive down here. This is some beautiful country. So what im going to do this evening, the mayor talked about perspective and what im going to share with you are actually two perspectives on the battle of antietam.

To have change our way of life is anyways. Is this is our shuttered and millions of americans are teleworking for the first time. Churches and schools are closed. Healthcare workers are working around the clock and just in the last five weeks race on the numbers i sawks this might look like nearly 30 million americans filed for unemployment. Most believe were already approaching the highest percentage of unemployed since the greatye depression. Now more than ever americans need to know that their leaders are working for them, and that they have voices as work to navigate in this pandemic. In a world where its no longer safe to be within six feet of each other, congress has to learn to adapt. Now the first time weve need to ensure the continuity of congress.

Every 24 hours, it doesnt mean that the number of people that i just reported as having died died in the last 24 hours. There is some lag in reporting and sometimes people die and test is pending and its not until the test comes in positive that that death is then reported to us as a covid19 death.
