As I watched President Donald Trump’s press briefing one recent morning, I could not help but be struck with the irony of the situation we now face. He and his supporters have been so concerned with building a physical barrier to the United States to keep us safe. He has repeatedly talked about immigrants coming to our country and jeopardizing our health and our jobs. This obsession led to the failure to see that the greatest enemy is the one that knows no borders. Precious time may have been lost because he refused to acknowledge the danger.
We and the rest of the world are now struggling to stay alive and solvent, fighting an enemy we cannot see. There is wording contained in many documents citing exceptions to rules and regulations in the event of an "act of God.” If this is truly an "act of God,” then we had better listen.
