What do you think was the biggest news event this past week -- either in your community, nationally, or globally? Talk about why it’s a big deal.

Well, that's pretty obvious. On Friday, Trump tested positive for the virus, and now at least 19 people in his circle have too. The White House is not doing contact tracing, endangering people who live near those people exposed and people who live near me in the Washington DC area. Trump and his doctors lied about his condition, and he came back to White House while he was/is still contagious and took off his mask. He had a combination of drugs that NO ONE else in the US has had and then had the audacity to say the virus wasn't a big deal. We have a president now who is amped up on steroids and acting irrationally (even more so than usual) and the republicans act like this is normal. I can't even write about it anymore. It's literally making me sick to think about it. Counting the days now until the election and trying to stay hopeful that this nightmare will soon be over.
