An uplifting social media thread sparked a series of powerful images and comments reminding Americans of some important things amid the coronavirus crisis.
“Being American means something,” Twitter user @Brickhouse0733 posted in a series of tweets on Thursday that crescendo into a rousing finale declaring “Americans don’t lose…”
CoronaVirus pandemic has revealed several things:
Our healthcare workers are courageous and brave… they are our warriors
Our healthcare system is the best in the world…period
Private enterprise will win this war…. Not government

He continued with a salute to American farmers and truckers working hard amid the pandemic gripping the world, while also publicly calling out the many shoppers who hoarded toilet paper as panic erupted.
Our farmers will make sure we have food….
Our truckers will make sure it’s delivered…
Truckers and delivery drivers are our infantry on the front lines… don’t forget that.
Those hoarding toilet paper should be publicly shamed… it’s unAmerican

“Our young Millennials partying on the beach represents the last gasp of the worst American generation,” he dramatically added, referring to the widely condemned images of students flocking to Florida beaches to “party” despite the warnings of officials about spreading the contagious virus.
Family matters more than ever…
Our young Millennials partying on the beach represents the last gasp of the worst American generation.
When this is over, and it will be end, there’s going to be political hell to pay for the panic profiteers in the media.

“Political correctness is dead,” he added in the next tweet, sounding the death knell as the media continue to swipe at President Donald Trump and others over the trivial issue of what the virus is being called, while the total confirmed cases of COVID-19 infections nears 230,000 with over 9,000 deaths.
Greed over country will eventually end…. Made in USA matters
We will be globally connected…. But not globally possessed.
Borders mean something…. Being American means something
Political Correctness is dead….

The final tweet urged that it is time “to be a family again.”
Time to be a family again… refuse to let politicians profit from their divisive rhetoric.
Americans don’t lose….

And, as even Hollywood actors took to social media to spread a message of hope and solidarity, Americans found a new way to literally shine a light in the darkness.
“What if we all put our Christmas lights back up?” Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster Lane Grindle tweeted. “Then we could get in the car and drive around and look at them. That seems like a fair social distancing activity.”

Almost three months after Christmas, it seems many Americans have taken the idea to heart and are spreading some cheer amid the grim reality of “social distancing” and self-quarantines.
