    Please listen to the Dr’s not the politicians. They are more knowledgeable, since it is their field of expertise. I pray the children will not be sent back to school. There is so much military that are required to be out and they can bring it home then the children bring it to school. I am not complaining or blaming our Military members. I am a military brat and live in the same quarters as a military member. This is just common sense/good sense. We need to stay put in our home and break the cycle of transmission. We have not reached the apex and it will be twice as bad if we don’t continue to self isolate/contain or stay in. I wish everyone the best and let’s continue to be smart and stay home at least for another month or so.
