Townhall: A Republican congressman from Tennessee made a deeply personal gesture on Monday, sharing his mobile phone number on Twitter for anyone who needed to discuss their fears about the impact of the Wuhan Coronavirus.
“If [you’re] feeling overwhelmed or scared and just want to talk to somebody give me a call,” Rep. Tim Burchett said. “We will get through this together.”
Burchett’s open line of communication on social media followed the news that several people had taken their own lives in areas in and around Tennessee’s 2nd Congressional District, which he represents. Burchett, 55, shared his pain and shock at receiving the news in a video included in his Twitter post.

Good on him. Hope people don’t abuse his kind gesture. They will, but I pray it won’t be too much.
I wouldn’t do it just because of the overload of BS calls, but I give the guy thumbs up.
I imagine the call volume will make it about as likely to get to actually say something as it would be to get through to Rush Limbaugh.

The suicides from all this are only beginning.
The great democrat hoax has real life consequences.
The democrats have an ocean of blood on their hands.
If memory serves, Trump made the same “reaching out to the American people” gesture on behalf of Lindsey Graham. Lindsey changed his number.
