Hello Readers,
Two stories have had a hold on all of us for over a year. One is the coronavirus, and the other is George Floyd’s murder. I would like to talk about the George Floyd murder anniversary.
A person lost his life over an alleged $20 fake bill. $20. It created many questions. Did the police dispatch convey the right message? Do the police follow the right procedure? The police must have a system to follow. When police dispatch gives the code for whatever crime has occurred, do the police follow it appropriately?
This is not a one-time mishap. It is an ongoing culture withing the police department. We must stop this hatred mentality within the police department. George Floyd lost his life, but he became a hero who has led a charge to change the procedures, and woke up Americans, including elected officials and administrators.
Coronavirus has been reduced in America as of right now. However, in the world it reduced from over 900,000 cases per day to over 500,000 cases per day, and over 170,000 deaths per day to over 12,000 deaths per day. In the United States, the daily cases have been reduced from over 304,000 to under 23,000 per day and the deaths are reduced from 4,470 daily deaths to 668 deaths.
Due to reduction of the cases and deaths in the US, most of the states have announced they will lift the restrictions. New Jersey has announced from June 4th, California has announced from June 15th, Virginia and Minnesota from May 28th and Massachusetts from May 29th. New York state has opened business with full capacity and 24 hours without any restrictions.
Right now, summer is almost here. People can stay out and enjoy their lives. So, they should have opened without any restrictions only for outdoors, but with restrictions indoors in my opinion.
According to AP news service; “Biden in a statement said the majority of the intelligence community had ‘coalesced’ around those two likely scenarios but ‘do not believe there is sufficient information to assess one to be more likely than the other.’ He revealed that two of the 18 intelligence agencies lean toward the animal link and “one leans more toward” the lab theory, adding, ‘each with low or moderate confidence.’…“The United States will also keep working with like-minded partners around the world to press China to participate in a full, transparent, evidence-based international investigation and to provide access to all relevant data and evidence,” he said.
The way Biden’s message is that he wants to clear the name of China. According to the Biden Administration, out of 18 intelligence agencies, only 1 came out stating that a Wuhan laboratory was liable for coronavirus leaks. Two are mentioning that it was spread through an animal. What happened to the same intelligence agencies before Biden took over the administration?
Have a wonderful week.
I’ll talk to you next week.
