I agree with this part of your post, and I’m very saddened to hear this. Every life matters and I hope somehow he and others will continue to receive lifesaving surgeries. Here, only elective surgeries have been postponed but lifesaving ones such as this continue as far as I know ...

I don’t understand US Politics and how/why each state is left up to its own to decide how to handle this pandemic as it knows no borders. We will have to agree to disagree on that one.

Hope you and yours stay safe.
