Sat Mar 21, 2020, 09:16 PM

42 years and still we wait.

"Revolution" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, written by John Lennon and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership. Three versions of the song were recorded in 1968, all during sessions for the Beatles' self-titled double album, also known as "the White Album": a slow, bluesy arrangement (titled "Revolution 1&quot that would make the final cut for the LP; an abstract sound collage (titled "Revolution 9&quot that originated as the latter part of "Revolution 1"

Mon Mar 23, 2020, 02:38 AM

but no pandemic specialists, or doctors, or even health care workers. Not much of a teach-in if you don't have any competency in the subject. Senator Sanders has never had a job other than being a politician. If he thinks that makes him an expert in public health, I am very, very, very glad he'll never be President of the USA. That is Trump's* attitude, and it's one we do not need at all.

He’s been on the Coronavirus crisis since January. In addition to being around during Ebola and H1N1 efforts, he also was lead Cancer Moonshot person, talked to doctors and researchers across
the country. He carried on that work with his foundation.

He is well versed in what it takes to develop treatments. He talked about getting leading researchers from all over the globe to collaborate on medical breakthroughs at his town hall. He has made diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer’s health issues he wants to solve.

Add Coronavirus. We won’t be done with it by the time he is president.

Honestly he should not have been out on the campaign trail. The last time they showed him in the Senate he was all slouched down. When his jacket fell open a bunch of used tissues fell out.

He should be sitting at home, feet up, watching TV as many of us are! Ahem, hint, hint!
