Please take a look at the illustration at the top of this article. It is from today’s New York Times. Please notice that the spike of new COVID-19 infections on the right is now almost as high as the spike in the middle of the illustration which is from last summer. Assuming things continue as they have been, soon new infections in America will be as high as they have ever been. Soon, hospitals in many places will be overrun, and more Americans will be infected at one time than ever before. Soon, you might really be wanting to stay home as much as possible, and soon things like the United States Postal Service might slow to a crawl because so many people might be out sick.
Please, let it be the Republicans who did not plan ahead. Please, let it be the Republicans who decided not to show up at the polls at the last minute because COVID-19 was running so rampant that they no longer felt safe going to the polls. Please, let it be the Democrats who all voted early so that they could safely hunker down at home when COVID-19 got so out of control. Please vote early, and please, stay safe.
Thank you very much.
