Two things I found out this morning alarmed me and made me very angry.
#1. Our "leader" stopped a shipment of ventilators to Canada from 3M, ventilators Canada had paid for. This is an inhuman action. All nations are having a terrible time with supplies for their hospitals and our "leader" is playing god with the lives of another nation! Remember, Canada paid for these ventilators!
#2. The Navajo Nation, a poor nation, as are all Native Americans on reservations, has 200 cases of COVID-19. Just in case you don't know it, Reservations don't have adequate health care, most don't even have a potable water source. Because of mining for uranium in and near the Navajo reservation, it makes it even worse because of what is released into the air because of this type of mining...hell, because of any kind of mining. The reservation, for the most part, does not have running water or electricity, the water has to be hauled for miles and it is scarce. One man hauls the water for his family and when he found out how often hands needed to be washed he was devastated. Why? Simple, because the water has to be used for more than one purpose. It is used for cooking and cleaning and the cleaning includes baths as well as cleaning the house. You have no idea how it is to live like this, hell I've got a great imagination and I can't try and put myself in this situation. Tribal leaders have put into place that everyone must stay home and there can be no gathering, doing this to stop the spread of the virus. They have closed casinos, the main source of income for the few tribes who have them. As I said before, they don't have enough health care resources and now it is stretched far more than our own. If you are one of those blatant ijits who believe they deserve it...well, I don't count you a human being.
Anyway, these two things are what I woke up to this morning and to say that I am madder than an old wet hen is not even come close to how upset I am with our nation and what we have and are doing to people!
