The Southridge Elementary teachers in Highland had a parade today. They decorated their cars and drove through the streets honking their horns. Kids stood outside their front doors waving at their teachers. It a nice attempt to connect with their students stuck at home.
It takes a lot of nerve for Senate Majorly Leader McConnell to accuse Democrats of standing in the way of coronavirus response bill when it is a $500 billion slush fund for rich donors. That is really the problem.

On March 1, there were 89 cases of coronavirus in the United States. On March 23, there are 32,502 cases so far. And the president thinks people should go back to doing regular things, because he doesn’t like what is happening to the economy and stock market.
The incompetence and irresponsibility of the Trump administration is appalling but expected. Key roles throughout the administration are either unfilled, filled with temporary, acting officials or filled with completely unqualified people. Their response to this crisis shows exactly how derelict they are in their jobs.
I have so much respect for people that sacrifice years of their lives to master medicine and science. It’s a real shame that our current government leaders don’t appreciate their skills, and would rather rely on gut feelings and hunches.
