I sympathize with the many people who are out of work. I am not a fan of the mandatory closure of our country.

Question: The many governors, senate and house representatives, are they still getting their full pay? I really don’t know.

Why can’t the senators wear masks and keep a social distance instead of taking a break from their duties?

We watched the now famous stay at home Nancy Pelosi video. She was showing her very expensive refrigerator and telling everyone how she was self-quarantined in her home with her freezer full of $13 a pint ice cream.

I am sure the many other stay-at-home people could relate to that! Sorry, except maybe their refrigerators were empty, certainly not with any $13 a pint ice cream, which Nancy said she could not live without, her words.

Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
