In case you have not heard, one key point of the Woodward Tapes now in print in his book “RAGE” is that Donald Trump knew the seriousness of Coronavirus in early February. He knew it could be transmitted through the air and that it would be far worse than the flu. He deliberately down played it, and continues to do so, at a time when masks and social distancing would have saved thousands of lives. We are now approaching 200,000 deaths from Covid and the President says “it is what it is”.
My message to all Americans is do not let down your guard. The Virus is still spreading out there. It is still killing hundreds of people every day. Maintain social distancing in public and at work. Masks are an effective deterrent. I recommend wearing as mask at all times in public and at work. If you enter a business which requires or requests masks, take care of yourself and be considerate of others, wear your mask.
Further today, police have a most difficult job. In our effort to root out bad actors and de-escalate fatal confrontations, we should not forget how difficult and dangerous police work can be every day on the street. Overnight there has been an ambush shooting of two Sheriff’s deputies in Compton, California. Both are fighting for their lives in the local hospital. I ask you to join me in prayer for these officers.
