I have read Sen. Johnson’s statement on covid-19, and I agree with him to a point. I do disagree about how the president has handled this crisis, but like in the impeachment trial, Sen. Johnson is hard of hearing, and has a poor memory. I do agree that it will be hard to support small businesses enough for them to pay sick leave, but to just have the feds take it up? Well it not like we did not know that Pres. Trump has a record of bankruptcy. But we will have out great-great grandkids to pay for it.
Corona virus, like climate change, the president goes ‘off the cuff’ rather than paying attention to those who work and study these things daily. Ya know, it is not ‘better safe than sorry,’ it is more like ‘what, me worry?’ Maybe he should have Mr. Limbaugh in charge of the CDC, and Mr. Hannity in charge of the NIH. That way all these institutions would agree with the president.
Well, this is not the Black Death, but it is so very contagious, and it is deadly. My daughter tested negative for flu a & b, but they were saving the covid-19 test for the high risk group, so now, though she is off work, she is not getting any pay, even though she home because of the virus, she did not test for the virus. Is she included in the statistics for who has the virus? She has the symptoms, but no test results.
I like the Republicans response to this pandemic – throw money at it, and it will go away – they are acting like Democrats.
The ‘flattening of the curve’ only means that the contagious period is spread out. Maybe we will be dealing with this in September, too?

Joe was born in xxxx, Arizona on xxxx xx 1955 to David Joseph and Alta Mary Brockert. He joined xxxxxx. His early life was spent in various houses in Globe, Miami, Claypool and Superior, Arizona. He remembered starting school in second grade in Superior and went there until he finished seventh grade.
They made a move to the Midwest that summer. His parents tried to get work in Minnesota that summer, to no avail, came to Wisconsin and finally found something. Joe went to eight grade in Evansville, Wisconsin. He went to Holy Name Seminary in Madison, Wisconsin for his Junior year of high school. Joe did not make the grade (literally & figuratively) at the seminary, so he went back to graduate from Evansville. He started college at Edgewood in Madison, but without a focus , he did not get very far towards a degree. He did get an Associate of Arts degree from Madison Area Technical College in 1978 for Accounting just to prove he could get a degree of some sort. He never did use it to any extent.
Joe worked as a paperboy in Superior and, some, in Evansville. He did some work study jobs in college, but really started to work at the donut shop on Regent Street, Donuts Unlimited. He worked there, off and on, for many years. He spent a summer at Edgewood Summer Theatre near Baraboo, tried to find a job doing bookkeeping after graduation but fell back to working seasonal at Blaney Farms (seed corn). He worked at the donut shop until 1993. He left to work at Triggs Bakery, Quarra Stone and Colonial Bakery. He has worked at Colonial Bakery since 1994.
Joe met the love of his life in a coffee shop near MATC, where they attended classes and they never really left the coffee shop. Joe was married on 17 May 1980 xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Joe lived a contented, relaxed life. He did not do much but learn, work, raise a daughter and support his family. He did not attract a lot of attention. He did learn to live for the day. He felt that the key to happiness was to remember to stop and smell the roses, or to look at the most beautiful sight he had ever seen, Mary, or to just go for a walks with her. He was humble enough to know that his writing would be of interest to very few, mostly those related to him, obviously, so he never tried too hard to get his rambling thoughts recorded.
