In the midst of turmoil and controversy some of the president’s political opponents have shown decency and grace and wished the first lady and the president a speedy recovery from Covid.
“God bless the president and the first lady,” said MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, “If you pray, please pray for their speedy and complete recovery — and for everyone infected, everywhere. This virus is horrific and merciless — no one would wish its wrath on anyone.”

This virus is horrific and merciless — no one would wish its wrath on anyone.
We must get its spread under control. Enough.
