I do remember the Ebola crisis.

I also do not remember it.

I remember because it was bad but I do not remember it because it was dealt with properly and immediately.

I will remember COVID-19 very well because it is not being dealt with anywhere close to properly and will probably take more lives than Ebola.

I realize that these things never completely disappear but they are brought down significantly to no longer being a pandemic.

Stay safe my friends and hope for someone in the government to get their head out of their ass.

1. We sent a boatload (literal) of health care workers to Africa.

A few came down with the virus... Obama brought them back here under very strict quarantine protocols and they were treated and, I think, all survived (which was a miracle considering).

The right wing noise machine went absolutely bonkers about both decisions.

Bad president and administration.

It is amazing how different these last two administrations can be. It is a deadly difference.

Workers should not be allowed in the country if they were infected. It was ugly.
