Indivisible Port Townsend has been diligently working toward opposing the Trump agenda.
Trump and his allies care more about their shareholder donors than the health of the American people.
The federal government must do a better job in combating the epidemic while at the same time mitigating the economic effects on the American people.
Those of us in Jefferson County have been lucky.
Our adherence to public health guidelines has flattened the disease curve to the point that we have had no new cases for over three weeks.
We now know how to stop this disease from getting out of control.
As we relax some of those restrictions, we need to take care that we don’t move too quickly, thereby reigniting the disease.
For now we’ve stopped the disease; but, the economic cost has been very high.
Lots of our neighbors are suffering economically.
It will be a long time before they recoup COVID-19 losses.
Some of us have only suffered some inconvenience.
If you are one of those fortunate ones, please consider giving to the Jefferson Community Foundation COVID-19 Response Fund.
The JCF fund has already given hundreds of thousands of dollars to organizations that help those who most need it.
You can contribute at www.jcfgives.org.
In the meantime, let’s do what we can to remove the incompetent Trump from office.
