We need confidence, not twitter wars, we need honesty not serial liars, we need to let medical experts decide our safe return to work not someone who cares only of himself , and some who has the intellect to handle this now. Trumps failed or has chosen to use this as a weapon against others hurting even his own people without any reservation for political gains We need her badly right now, and a lists of ways to immediately generate revenues from , and to create jobs for those who lost theirs. A program building solar equipment free for all USA residents would help

and our state has come up with pretty good solutions statewide.

This will help many.

But for some of the motels in town, it's become a bit of a mess (situation wise). And much harder for the folks that run the hotels --and the police (who are now called in to help with some of the situations that have developed).

I don't have mixed feelings about housing folks.

But for some of our population, putting them in motels hasn't lessened the risk of catching the virus (I'm afraid). We'll know (here at least) in a few weeks.

half to give services to that homeless person. These 'homed' people are much more likely to find work and gain at least some degree of self support than those being serviced in the streets.

A home gives dignity and that's a powerful thing to help someone heal.
