We could have been protected from the virus sooner if Trump would have said something. Things might have been different in Chicago. The whole CDC Board would have called the mayor and governor to meet and make sure all of the big businesses would not have to lay off their employees. The workers in our schools and our restaurants and cleaners would have been safe. Youth should have consequences if they do not follow the law.

Always take your temperature and do not forget to wash your hands and ask your company to do the same before everybody gets together to protect against spreading any part of the virus. Once everything is square with the vaccine that has not been tested we can go back to n

I would like to see Chicago Public Schools take their time with students going back to the classroom. I’d like to know what the hurry is with them getting back. Chicago and the suburbs have to let students ask: Is there any need to help out in the community and volunteer instead of worrying so we can get this pandemic under control? Numbers are up in the hospital beds because of rising COVID-19 rates. This is because of consumers traveling when they were not supposed to. They were told not to!
