Together, we Americans will persevere and prevail!
Sure, we were zoned out when microbiome Not missile messages were evident. Bill Gates advised that we were not ready five years ago!

Let’s respect what Yogi admonished about knowing where we are going!
Be well and also BE EXCELLENT to each other, as Bill & Ted said.
