We can definitely do better. And we must. Americans are susceptible to the influence of media hype. The greater the number of positive cases, the more perceived damage it becomes in the eyes of the public.

People starts to panic, businesses continue to close, many more for good, financial ruin, then social unrest and protests followed by rioting and looting.

This pandemic has caused much more financial harm than physical harm.

We will come out of this weaker financially than many countries.

That concerns me. An America with a perceived weakness will bring out the hyenas of the world. Everyone will want a piece of us.

Not the right time for protectionism and nationalism. IMHO.

This is the time when we need the support and our allies. Join efforts to fight this disease. So we are not perceived as the loner who went at it selfishly without regards to the wellbeing of the world.
