5) Testing and tracing

We’ll beat this. I believe in us. We’ve risen to the necessary levels of action in the past, and we will now. But it is a time for leaders, not snipers, not “blow it all up” nihilists, and not people unwilling to say “I was wrong.”

I love this Country, and will fight for it. This is the fight.
