Is silence golden?

Editor,

The coronavirus pandemic brought us to our knees by sheltering in our homes for an unknown length of time. We have no other way of combating this plague since our fearless leader didn’t shut down in January 2020 when he first was warned, but thought it was a hoax – and said so.

Now we suffer in silence because he was silent. Not silent enough – he tried to justify his decision by lying, again.

When are we going to realize that we are being led by a man only interested in being elected for four more years? I never thought I’d be ashamed of our country’s political moves, but I am not proud to be an American anymore.
