Tonight’s speech has been the most powerful speech our president has delivered on the matter of COVID. The fact that he said that we don’t panic. The fact that he’s kept us on Level 1. And the fact that he called out the absolute irrational and bogus decisions by many first-world countries to put us on Red Lists with no scientific basis whatsoever.
All of this was encouraging, but we now need to work with our government partners to engage these source markets about the process to get us off the red lists. What is the process? Let’s make a transparent and let’s make a data driven.
We should engage both politically, through the media and with all weapons at our disposal. We should do this as a country together. We cannot languish on the Red List at the whim of capricious politicians in the first world that have only their self-interest at heart and are not following the science or the data.
