can make any of us get out of our homes and/or do anything we don't feel is safe. They don't get that most Americans are not as cruel and heartless or sociopathic as they are.

The mayor is even lying saying no new cases in a few days and opening up soon - the exact same day the paper says 2 nursing homes within 15 miles of each other have infected residents/staff. They are killing us old folks, and poor and unhealthy, as fast as they can.
