President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau have agreed to close all borders. Public schools

Washington state. Vice President Pence said that
1.9 million tests will become available with over
2,000 labs available for testing,
The pandemic has taken 9,000 lives worldwide.
We can only hope and take many precautions.
Facial masks, plastic gloves, staying 6 feet away
from everyone, absolutely no gatherings in public.
Stay inside as much as possible, leaving only
when it’s necessary…the list goes on….
We can only hope they find a vaccine sooner rather
than later. God Bless us all on this planet.
