He's still the same leader we all miss right now.

And he would have gotten it right. After all, he did start the pandemic team that some idiot disbanded.

He's been really traditional about not criticizing his successor even though Trump is constantly attacking him. Tweeting an article like this is the closest he's come so far. I'm impressed.

A family member spent her day on the front lines in CCU. A week ago there was 1 COVID19 patient. Today there were 15. Not a huge hospital, yet the beds are now full.

I asked if there was a way to disinfect after her shift. The answer was no, just take off your protective gear carefully. They are already running out of supplies.

sigh...

president online so we can have some good leadership to turn to. We sure don't have it currently with Trump and his sycophants. I would be willing to bet that Obama could talk to a few medical experts and give us more sound advice and ideas once a day and save more lives. Obama would be smart enough to understand what information he could find and dance circles around Little Lord Fondleroy.
