John,
This week, America will diagnose its three millionth case of COVID-19, with no sign of improvement.
The Trump administration, which has squandered months with magical thinking that the virus would just disappear, has a new tactic: “Learn to live with it.”
This morning’s Washington Post1 has an unbelievable insight into the White House’s strategy:
"White House officials also hope Americans will grow numb to the escalating death toll and learn to accept tens of thousands of new cases a day, according to three people familiar with the White House’s thinking"
I don’t know about you, but I’m nowhere close to numb, watching the death toll climb day after day. Neither are seniors, who are dying at disproportionate rates. Donald Trump may have given up, but Social Security Works will never stop fighting to FORCE our government to stand up for seniors!
That means demanding mask ordinances in every state, expanding testing and contact tracing―not slowing it down―making PPE available to every frontline worker, and enforcing common sense social distancing.
Social Security Works has led the fight to protect us from the Trump administration’s war on seniors. And with pandemic numbers rising around the country, we’re working harder than ever. Chip in $5 today to fight back!
Thanks,
Alex Lawson Social Security Works
