How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

Today my total attention to the news is off the pandemic and on the fact that Georgia has elected the first black senator. That is quite a monumental event in our history. My jubilation is Covid related in that it will no doubt, make it easier for the new president, Biden, to get legislation passed to fund the things that need doing to get us over the pandemic both medically and financially. Actually there were two Democrats from Georgia elected as senators to give the democrats the majority in the senate. The number of senators from each party is even, but the Vice President, Harris, a democrat, holds the winning vote in the case of a tie. Mitch McDonnell, the republican majority leader will have to step down. Hopefully this will finally bring more Republicans away from the Trump party and create a more democratic republican group that has concerns only on doing what is best for the country and upholding the law as we have seen it in the Obama years. Perhaps after the meeting of the electoral college today “Trumpism” will finally be put to rest forever. That is my wishful thinking but realistically it is not likely that Trump will disappear.
