Complaining about how other nations and governments fight this pandemic with and for their citizens doesn't make a lick of sense when 50 states and half a dozen territories of the USA can't agree on what is best.

Kind of behooves us to remember that our close neighbors to the north aren't in any hurry to throw open their gates, either. Heck, even our own Caribbean territories are cranky about our visiting right now..

When it comes to the tourism economy, there are many, many spots right here in the contiguous 48 that do truly need a whole lotta help.

If we could help our US selves get over this misery, we'd be of a lot more worth to our worldwide neighbors and friends.
