Which is why I tend to vote for people who also think like me — who have a plan, who can identify problems and offer reasonable, fact-based solutions.  Those people make the world go around.  During … Continued

Want to slow the spread of coronavirus? Tell people the truth

Alabama hospitals are running out of ICU beds. And ventilators.  Frontline staff is overworked. Nurses and doctors are running low on personal protective equipment (PPEs) and there is none to be had.  And we are only in the early stages of COVID-19’s spread through America.
