Our nation is crying out for leadership, for direction, for some healing and some unity. This president even try to provide it . I yield the floor. Mr. President , two weeks ago i came to the fore the center ask for consent on a simple, Timely Senate resolution sponsored by nearly half of the members of this chamber. What did the resolution called for . It urged the United States to join global Coronavirus Vaccine and treatment efforts. That doesnt sound like a radical idea, doesf it . In the midst of a global much suffering and so many deaths, it would seem that asking the United States to join other countries of the world in searching for therapies and vaccines is just common sense.
