When someone asks how are you doing, the real question is are they really expressing goodwill and concerned about our well being?

Here is a series of questions you may consider asking if you are an inquiring mind who wants to know.

How are you taking care of yourself today?

What part of your shelter-in-place residence have you come to appreciate the most?

What surprising thing have you been stocking up on (that isn’t toilet paper)?

What’s a story from a book, a movie, an article, a conversation – that you’ve been gripped by recently?

As the #USA coronavirus-related death toll reaches 100K the nation marks Memorial Day Weekend, with a surge of infections.

It’s disingenuous and dangerous to reject responsibility and blame others. America keeps leading with COVID19 Pandemic deaths.

POTUS and his GOP posse failed a few Summer schools. They're now past detention and should proceed towards expulsion.

it has also been a time to worship and attend religious services. The real question is why has POTUS gone out of the way to insist that churches open when there is no recorded history of his devout service to God?

Does she know something American voters don’t or did she say that because she sees what the rest of us see, that Trump has significantly gained weight with his old age and obesity is dangerous for a Pandemic President?

The public is now being advised to “Keep our distance, wash our hands, think of others, and play our part. All together.

When taking a hard look at reality, we must face sobering facts. Healthcare workers are unable to keep pace with patients. So-called leaders in denial. Fatalities increasing. At least 90K Americans are dead. Why do these numbers keep rising?

The global pandemic killed almost 100K people in the USA threatening social stability and changing political calculations, which will continue to have serious implications.
