“Every single one”
My patient works at a homeless shelter in Brooklyn. Tearfully she told me every resident there got COVID in April. Every single one.
More than 20 died.
No one had a funeral. No one called. No media reported about it.
Think about that. They just disappeared.
In response to the death of Martin Luther King Jr, 110 American cities started rioting. After the 6th day of riots, the Civil Rights Act of 1968 was passed. Note that.
Can y’all just imagine what it would be like right now if we had a president who could make a national address and actually say something that people would take to heart? Like, remember when Obama sang Amazing Grace?
I can imagine no other president in my lifetime failing to address the nation in a prime time speech during a crisis such as this. On the other hand, I cannot imagine another president whose words would be less welcome by so many of his fellow citizens.
