So far 1 dead close relative , one dead friend, one dead former employee, and one neighbor and family who survived with moderate fevers.

First off, I'm sorry for the loss of your family and friends. I hope you all are blessed with continued healh.
 Oldest daughter works with disabled veterans, she’s been tested 3 times so far, all negatives.

So many thanks to your daughter for doing what she is. God bless her for taking care of our veterans and, to me, our heroes.

Local media reporting  today a post-riot “spike” in viral cases with people in their 20’s leading the trend.  And the viral cultural revolution has just begun , this upcoming flu season and impending winter is not looking peachy. Getting harder to take evasive action.

Evasive action -I am lucky enough not to live in a congested area, even though I am very close to downtown Birmingham. But, the proximity is still a concern...I couldn't imagine living in Philly, or any of the other hotly contested zones. The hospitals, even though there is a reported spike, still seem to be far under capacity here. I don't know anyone who has gotten the Rona. And, strangely, only have seen one local recovery on the news. If so many people are sick, and this is so bad, why am I not seeing patients every day on the news, being paraded out as the first few were? The newly reported cases are all young(20s-30s) and many are college kids that were having Rona parties, with known infected students mingling with everybody- or, of course, the protesto-rioters.
