              <text>So many small businesses have been forced to close permanently. The livlihood of those still struggling to stay open, and only able to do half of the normal business daily that they did before this plague.  I am surprised to see gullible people creating lung issues by wearing those useless masks outdoors.  That is where the normal oxygen flow is essential to healthy lung function.  The average American is sucking in too much carbon dioxide which is expelled by the lungs after oxygen intake.  Remember when mask and hoodies were not permitted when going int banks?  We are all being separated, being led to "tell on your neighbor", and giving up our God given rights guaranteed by the Constitution and Bill of Rights.  United we stand, divided we fall.  Our young people are being forced into depression, as well as those in nursing homes that cannot hold or hug their loved ones.  Every year we have new viruses, and new strains of flu, but we do not go into hiding or wear face coverings.  The common cold is a covid virus.  I am very afraid that we as a nation,and a people have been set up and sold out</text>

Also have a Bible in the home and teach them that God does exist and is in charge of this world, even when it does not look like it.  We are a Christian-Judeo nation and freedom of religion does not mean that another migrates here an "appears to be offended by ours."  That is not freedom of religion..

              <text>I was aware of it before many Americans since I have foreign friends in Asia. Specifically, I have a Korean friend who was working in China during the worst of the outbreak there. I followed the news closely as it spread and stayed in touch with him to make sure he was okay. It wasn't until the beginning of February that I started to realize the possibility of COVID in America, but I did not expect it to escalate as quickly as it did.     In the beginning of March I was in Cancun, Mexico and came home through JFK for a rude awakening with cases escalating in New York. I did my best to follow the CDC and WHO and to take it seriously while also encouraging others to do the same. </text>

I have also felt a general feeling of hostility and division growing between fellow citizens with different opinions. I have become more conscious of news,  politics, and fact checking/providing sources. I have started to speak my mind more and gain more skills. </text>
