Opinion: Flattening the curve will help us beat an invisible enemy
There is no getting past the fact that we are living in unique circumstances and uncertain times.
As we continue to combat the coronavirus (COVID-19) in our communities, I want to make sure you remain up to date and aware of new developments. I had the opportunity to speak with thousands of you in a live Telephone Town Hall on Thursday discussing the latest on Congress' response to COVID-19 and what we can all do to keep our families protected. I was also grateful to have Dr. Paul Schmidt of Glen Rose on the line with us to help answer some of your medically related questions during these unique circumstances.
As an ever-changing situation unfolds across our nation and world, we can all do our part to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our communities. This includes washing your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and staying home unless absolutely necessary. We will get through this by working together.

Dear Texans,
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Roger Williams (R-TX-25) today released the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives approved a bipartisan emergency supplemental spending bill for the treatment and prevention of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the United States:
The current debate between socialism versus capitalism is not merely about two economic ideas: it's about freedom itself.
I recently had the privilege of speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) to discuss the inherent danger socialism poses to our economy. I joined thousands of fellow patriots who believe that America is exceptional because of our freedom and we are, without a doubt, the greatest nation on earth.
Jamie Willis made headlines in December for his efforts to collect discarded Christmas trees to use to make canes for veterans through his organization Canes for Veterans Central Texas.
The community responded in a big way, with more than 1,000 trees being donated to Willis by the first week of 2020. With this many trees, Willis made a goal of making 1,000 canes in the year 2020.
Since then, Willis and his team of volunteers have been steadily working towards that goal.
Dear Texans,
On this Valentine's Day, I had the opportunity to deliver cards from students across Cleburne Independent School District to veterans at the Fort Worth VA Clinic. I'm proud to partner with our schools to show appreciation for the heroism of our veterans, and I want to thank each student who participated this year. These cards are a small token of our gratitude for their service and I know they were greatly appreciated.
Cleburne ISD students from several campuses have been working on a special project to help those who served our nation in the armed forces "feel the love" on Valentine's Day.
Students from Adams, Gerard, Santa Fe and Irving elementary schools, along with those from Cleburne High School and TEAM School, are participants in the Valentines for Veterans project in partnership with U.S. Rep. Roger Williams, R-Austin.
