My spouse has been frustrated by attitudes that seem to imply we should be listening to the governments recommendations and following them to the letter- no more and no less. She tells me she remembers a time when adults made real reasonable decisions.

In response, the administration is carefully suggesting he didn't "mean " what he said" after angry letters from the travel and airline industry
Here is my spouse's note to Joe Biden
"Hello, Vice President Biden. I know the news analysts are going to analyze your comments to death, and the administration is probably going to have to do some damage control, and tourism and airline companies are going to be annoyed with you--but THANK YOU! Thank you for saying you'd recommend your family not travel in enclosed places if they don't have to.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!"
