“Without a vaccine, sir, why do you think the virus is going to be gone?” asked CBS News reporter Ben Tracy. “It’s gonna go,” Trump responded. “It’s gonna leave. It’s gonna be gone. It’s gonna be eradicated. It might take longer, it might be in smaller sections. It won’t be what we had.” He went on, “If you have a flare-up in a certain area—I call them burning embers—boom, we put it out. We know how to put it out now.” (Mother Jones
You have to weigh the community costs, one lawyer said. Opening schools mean sick and dead children and delaying opening means inconvenience. A number of Florida lawyers are offering free or discounted living wills for teachers who may be required to return to the classroom this school year.
"I had read a story a few weeks ago about three Arizona teachers who'd gone back to school to work on a project," said Charles Gallagher, whose St. Petersburg law firm, Gallagher & Associates, is among those offering teachers free living wills. "All three contracted COVID-19 and one died." One teacher protesting in front of the Hillsborough School District in Tampa carried a sign, “I can’t teach from my grave.” (MSNBC)

1947: Smokey the Bear His slogan changed to "Remember... Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires" in 1947 and was associated with Smokey Bear for more than five decades. Smokey Bear has had a few different official catchphrases over the years, including “Smokey Says–Care Will Prevent 9 out of 10 Forest Fires,” and “Remember … Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires.” The current version, implemented in 2001, is “Only You Can Prevent Wildfires.” Smokey might not say much, but his message is just as—or maybe even more—important today as it was 75 years ago. 

Trump has one message! Re-elect me, it matters not who lives or dies, suffers, or leaves loved ones mourning and concerned. Make the ailing economy seem vibrant and alive, which in turn helps me look like I care or cared, was concerned, and did my best for the lives of the CORPORATIONS/MY 1% DOMESTIC TERRORIST DONORS,  and of course my Crime Family. Re-elect me, because maybe I will end up in jail, and oh yeah if you don’t behave my way, I have more Mercenaries from Erik Prince (oops I mean anonymous Federal Troops to kidnap, harass and maybe even murder you). This IS America 2020!
