Update on Coronavirus & It's Fishing Time in Alabama
Dear John
The coronavirus continues to dominate the news here in Washington and around the world. As I mentioned to you in last week's message, preparation is always better than panic. And preparing is exactly what the Trump Administration has been doing. This week, Congress took action by allocating additional resources so that our country is prepared at all levels - federal, state, and local - to protect our citizens.
There has been, in my opinion, a lot of unwarranted criticism of the Administration's response. Most of this has come, not from a place of concern, but in trying to score political points. Vice President Pence has made fighting this virus his top priority. He has given Congress frequent updates and has been flying around the country to ask local leaders, and health care professionals, what they need from the federal government. I continue to be confident in the President and Vice President's leadership.
At the time of this writing, there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Alabama. However, in order to put our state on the strongest footing to be prepared, Governor Ivey has formed a task force in Alabama. This task force will be chaired by the State Health Officer and comprised of the Governor and Lt. Governor, and state leaders from the legislature, infectious disease specialists, hospital and nursing home associations, and state cabinet members representing education, economic development, law enforcement, human resources, and emergency management. I am confident that this team of experts will help alleviate the impact of the virus on the health and economy of our state.
Remember, The latest information on the virus can be found at CDC.gov
Bassmaster Classic Returns to Guntersville
On a much more positive note, the 50th Bassmaster Classic got underway on Lake Guntersville Friday morning. All of the fishing will take place on the lake and then weigh-ins will be held each day at the BJCC in Birmingham. This is the third time the classic has come to Guntersville, and the second time in just the last six years. I know the folks with Bassmaster were very impressed with the way Guntersville rolled out the red carpet for all the anglers the last time they hosted the Classic. So, it's no surprise they came back. I would like to welcome all these fishing pros back to Alabama's Lake City and good luck this weekend on beautiful Lake Guntersville. More info on the Classic can be found here. I hope you have a great weekend! Sincerely,
