This photo is from when my brother and I biked to Pike Place Market last week. Right now it's wet and gloomy outside. But being able to see the sunshine in my photo albums from just a few days prior reminds me that things can change fast and unexpectedly, and that it will one day be sunny again. An analogy for COVID, anyone?

I think that a lot has to do with the government telling the truth to the people. In NY we have a good governor who spoke to us everyday and gave us the latest facts, advising us what to do. We were able to bend the curve and get out of the pandemic. However, in other places people weren't given the same guidance and people were confused about what to do-- also in some cases government officials lied to people telling them everything was fine but it wasn't. I think the biggest problem is Donald Trump who just creates chaos everytime he opens his mouth. He lies and says stupid things and people got confused and didn't know what was going on. If he had been factual and consistent, we would've seen a better response all around the country.
