Sure, I am weary. But, it is not just me. I look at myself as untested carrier of #CoronaVirus who refused to irresponsibly transmit then, with complications, cause the untimely death of another. 

Instead I harvest the good news. 

Truth and facts only, said Gov. Cuomo, who thanked publicly the 95,000 nurses and doctors who flew to NY, across the nation to help. 

He unveiled a wall art of thousands of masks, sent to him, one from a Kansas farmer whose wife has only one lung, and he had 5 N95 masks from decades ago. He kept 4 for his family and sent one for a healthworker to use. “American people are kind, principled, good neighbors, and have generosity of spirit and charity,” he said, “Self portrait of American people spells love.” 

Our leaders must follow the example of our American people. It is not “we” vs. “them.” He took note that NY puts in $29 billion into the federal treasury, while Florida takes out $30 billion and Kentucky $37 billion a year. So, no politics needed during this pandemic. NY needs help – 299, 691 cases and 22, 912 deaths – the highest in US.

Castle Garden Center in Lower Bucks County, PA delivered flowers to Maureen Johnson’s mom. Hearing her say she promised her daughter would not go out, the small business owner got worried she may not have food. So, they delivered flowers, prepared hot meals, groceries and refused to be reimbursed. 

Self portrait of American people spells love.
