If you read my post this AM with the message from my MD daughter...Well,


I posted this information on my 2 town FB pages. I got crucified. One of the pages deleted my post, the other shut off all comments.
I live in a blue state, I guess I live in a red town.

I cannot understand it. I am told this it was deleted because it was 'political'. Never mind the message, too many people were upset that I dare post the truth and that the post had the word 'Trump'.

I deleted my post and hope enough people saw it that might believe.

I hope for all of us that we get thru this awful mess. Cannot understand why there were so many negative replies. I added nothing except the text from my daughter.

Keep safe everyone and keep on with your good work. Thanks to all our first responders, they are heroes. The rest of us can stay home and hope for the best. Some don't have the 'at home' option.

Never in my 77 years would I believe this would happen. Time to write a letter to my kids just in case.

from the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security drew demands to delete it on FaceBook. Out of sight out of mind.

6. An old friend from Florida asked me to join a FB page in a backwater in Mi I'm here he's in Florida

against my better judgement I did. They said I had to pledge not to swear. Anyhow this was about the time that Gretchen ordered her first stay at home. The Mayor said city council was gonna meet. I knew this page was a Trump circle jerk but I said something along the lines of how dare she try to keep you safe. Long story short. after some byplay my niece who is a nurse accused me of being political. Stating that she knew about the virus and I knew nothing. I was subsequently banned for being "nasty". As of this morning we have 11 known 1 dead. I can't name the county but it's where Hillsdale College is, the school that knows how to deal with inconvenient women.

If that was all of it, then your daughter just explained, without attacking him, why Trump's assumption was wrong. Your town really must have its head in the sand if they can't accept that as a message. My sympathies, and best wishes to your daughter.

9. Yes, that was the post. I am disgusted with the replies.

I cannot wrap my mind around the ignorance and rude replies. That is why I deleted the post. I am too old to fight those who swear by the likes of this current attitude by some of my townspeople.
I'll go my way and post here. This is where I see the best advice.
I am afraid for everyone. I guess the ones who chewed me out think they are not vulnerable.

I cannot understand why there are negative replies. Hospitals need help but I guess some don't believe the real news.
Best to all.

I never had that before. All it was is literally trump's quote.
