As the election count continues and covid cases rise, the importance of calm steady resolve comes into focus for a country saturated with stress.

Dr. Bill Lawrence, Election Official, Former Dean & Professor of Theology at Southern Methodist University, Dr. Marcus Cooke, Business Owner & Former Republican Candidate with Dr. Dixie Swanson, M.D. (Retired) and Broadcast Medical Journalist (NBC) discuss the specific steps Americans need to take right now during this confluence of crisis.

From the need of each American to properly wear a mask covering the nose & face whenever he/she is in close proximity with other humans to the need for all citizens to begin talking to one another again - regardless of political affiliation - these professionals share their inside knowledge. 

Dr. Marcus Cooke provides clear, detailed recommendations for business owners and investors - projecting sound advisement to prepare for the 2021 post pandemic economy. He further gives historical context to vote counts in the past, and the need to respect Republican voices.

Dr. Bill Lawrence provides direct examples of how citizens in our country have overcome past pandemics, wars, and extreme challenges. He provides clarity on North Carolina's election processing of ballots and inspiration for those who are suffering due to job and income losses.

Dr. Dixie Swanson gives clear and direct examples of why masks must be worn and families should remain - within their home environments until a vaccine is safely completed and distributed. She states, "if you want to celebrate Thanksgiving in 2021 with your larger family [network]... celebrate the meal with your immediate family in 2020."

Minor adjustment needed to the recipe... just 1 stick butter : )
