Q: Please share any additional thoughts or comments you have on the coronavirus crisis and government's response.
A: I think the initial response was sound. The China virus could have been far more lethal than it appears today and the short term restrictions would have been critical.

Q: Please share any additional thoughts or comments you have on the coronavirus crisis and government's response.
A: I believe if this was indeed a serious pandemic then the government would be justified in their actions. But I don’t believe this is a severe health threat and certainly doesn’t warrant jeopardizing the economy and going into trillions of dollars worth of debt. I think they could have just used a smaller amount of federal funds to help those that are considered a high risk of dying from the virus and kept the rest of the country working and functioning and contributing to the economy.
