I don't see anything about COVID in what Joseph posted above. Tariffs are supposed to be imposed by Congress.

I don't see anything incorrect in what Joseph said above. * SLMR 2.1a * "I'm cold, and there are wolves after me!"-Granpa Simpson --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105) .
