WE ARE ALL PRACTICING SOCIAL DISTANCING and WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!!
I came up with this talking point while answering the question how are Democrats going to be able to win back the presidency.
I live in one of the counties in California that first enabled social distancing almost three weeks ago. I remember listening to Gavin Newsome giving a speech on the AM radio on a Sunday afternoon in my car and thinking "Wow" this is no BS. Most of the non essential businesses shut down within a couple of days.
Keeping the curve flatter is the best approach we have for this. Not what we would like to be doing but it's the right thing to do.
