Summary of points:

When numbers tick upward, proceed with caution

Heed the international caution signs from Singapore, Germany

Re Reopening: there is no abstract, political or emotional or abstract plan for reaopening — any plan is only based on facts and data w/ a numerical circuit breakers — hospitalizations and diagnostic testing — more positives than negatives is a pause sign. A 1.1 rise s textbook outbreak.

-- Elective surgery effects and reopening
-- Front line workers and essential transit workers protections — constant attention to testing numbers, transit sanitation

Final Comments on Politics in Washington — the ugly McConnell dynamic = funding corporate America

I say fund Americans.

Thanks is as thanks does.

What this is about: McConnell theater, and military jet salutes hide the decision about whose pocket to put the money into. NOW is the time that shows who will put aside partisan politics and who won’t when people are dying across the country.

It’s not the American people. Better than what they are getting. Neighborliness and generosity and volunteerism are the spirit of Americans.

A United America is New York Tough.

Leadership does not know how good we are as a people.

Politicians? Follow the American people.

Try to be half as good as the American people.

Fiery Q & A today.
