What's this?

When a FB friend posted how the world is laughing at us, this is one of the

responses:

I'm not sure what news source you get your information from but the world does not laugh at the USA. President Trump just helped sign a peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. He doesn't let anything stand in the way of progress around the world and he continues to keep a watch on this pandemic. He's left the states in charge of the states and the Democrat ones are the ones floundering. This pandemic is certainly real but the virus continues to show that it's nothing morr than a bad flu and if you allow your immune system to work, you won't catch it and if you do, you will be able to fight it off. Both my sons think they had it and they're fine. They were ok when they were sick just felt rough. If you have underlying issues then, by all means, take precautions but otherwise we need to get back to living.
