I also want to go on record that this debate about data and surges and returning to normalcy is ridiculous.

We're talking about people's lives here. And those that want to downplay it and say that everything is cool now that we're only losing 500 a day is losing sight of what matters.

Every number is someone's family member. A father. A son. A mother. A daughter. Every number had a story, with highs and lows. And it was a story that was cut short because of this nation's inability to come together and work the problem as a team.

We should all be ashamed.
