Protestors and police clash in LA.

They are right near Writers Guild of America West HQ.

What an opportunity for Writers to see everything.

It seems police made a mistake in trying to hem protestors in.

They need crowd control training.  Police shld have just let peaceful demonstrators pass.

More serious than covid alone and that's serious enough.  Several deaths.

Caused by immune response in children age 1-21 who have already had covid, affects the heart and other organs.

 

Do not send children to camp, school or swimming.

Not to be taken lightly.  + masks work.

Take care.

Andrew Cuomo Metaphor of the Mask

https://cnycentral.com/news/local/watch-gov-cuomo-holds-daily-covid-19-briefing-from-albany-51

 

 

The man is a poet as well as a very good communicator and leader.

"I love the metaphor of the mask.  I'm wearing a mask to protect you, and it also stands for a spiritual unity."

At last NY State deaths have inched down to high 200s from over 800 4 weeks ago.

Cuomo reminds us of what we have achieved.  (Fewer people died than the straight line projection)

"We changed reality."

He goes on to details of what should be thought about in re-imagining NY State after Covid-19

An upsetting thing is the surge in domestic violence in 2 months.

Also the mental health problem.

I make it a point to listen to Cuomo's briefings every day, as it presents a snapshot of "where we are," even though I don't live in NY State.

Also "What we can learn."
