This coronavirus has shown us that we need to fix our country or we will not have a country...
It has shown us that we have a shortage of doctors and nurses and hospital equipment. There is no reason this problem cannot be fixed. We should not depend on foreign suppliers.
It has shown us that Wall Street has very little to do with Main Street. It is nothing more than an enclave for the wealthy that are first in line for a bailout when the market heads south. They should be forced to pay it back to the people.
The employer-based healthcare system is a total failure during this pandemic. Workers simply cannot afford the insurance provided when they lose their jobs, if there is any at all. It is not a reliable healthcare system. It needs to be fixed.
The food supply chain is too dependent on large corporate farmers, especially cattle and pig farmers and meat-butchering plants. There needs to be more smaller farms that are scattered regionally throughout the country.
Money and handouts cannot save us from ourselves. It is up to us to make the changes needed and that includes our political system. It has failed. It has been exposed, with all its flaws. How can they just pack up and leave?
There are many deficiencies that have been uncovered by this epidemic and one person cannot fix it. It cannot be fixed individually. It must be a government project. It must include all our people.
It will take progressive ideas to help us repair our country, in my opinion.
