Prayers Will Not Solve CoV-2 Pandemic

Facts matter. All the thoughts and prayers in the world is not going to solve this problem. All the dodge and deflect from our elected leaders is not going to solve this. Demand action. Where are the tests and supplies, personnel and PPE to keep workers safe? Why are some people willing to risk everyone's well-being with their selfish desire to attend a [whatever] ball game or religious service? We don't need a cheer leader, we need a true leader. We need a force, not a farce. 

And, what of other animals? We've destroyed their habitat, trapped them for entertainment and education; don't we owe it to them to at least feed and care for them?  https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/18/836499991/zoos-look-for-ways-to-offset-an-elephant-sized-plunge-in-revenues AND  https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2020/04/17/these-apes-monkeys-escaped-poaching-trafficking-now-they-must-battle-pandemic/ Several other links are below the WaPo article. 

We are a global society. We must start acting like it.
