This is the next big step in this historic
journey.
So far, we have been smart
and unified.
We averted tragedy.
Remember what happened:
• Virus attacked us from Europe in January and
February, and no one knew
• Projected hospitalizations were 120,000
• Thousands more would have died
 We were smart…

…and we must STAY SMART.
