An interesting article re. COVID symptoms possibly pointing it to being a blood vessel disease: https://elemental.medium.com/corona...isease-which-explains-everything-2c4032481ab2

Locally, I attended a "Drive-in" concert yesterday. One of our local venues has come up with a novel way of staying in business. Cars are parked every other spot in the lot, smaller cars up front (yay for the new station wagon! I got a nice front-row seat! ). People can sit outside their car in the spot on their driver's side (people are separated with a car in between them), and we can order food online and they will deliver it to the spot (no hand-to-hand transfers). It was a nice way to go out and DO something again, with minimal risk, and I'm glad the venue has a way to stay in business. It's a nice local success story.

University of Washington researchers predict we will hit 170,000 deaths in US by October. A Harvard researcher says he expects 100,000 deaths by September, for a total of 200,000.

Trump said he will not shut anything down, which is not his decision to make.

Ironically, Trump has a waiver for people who are attending his future rallies. They have to promise not to sue if they catch Covid-19 as a result of attending.

And we hit 170,000 with ease by August. People going out with no masks in the midst of a brutal pandemic!

No more rallies, at least. And one of tRump's biggest supporters died from attending that rally.

I watched the Democratic Convention last night just to hear A Cuomo, Bernie and Michelle speak, some sane adults in this mess of a country.

This covid thing literally destroyed all my plans.

I hear ya. I was coming to the States at Easter. Nope. Now I have no idea when I'll be able to go.

Me, too. I cried when Michelle was speaking. To think that our country actually has a chance of getting back on track with this upcoming election. I'm hopeful.

How about Trump pointing out that his death toll was 20,000 higher than Michelle mentioned?

And last night with Joe and Jill talking about how they met. They seem so normal.

He's still having mini rallies. It's the only thing he knows how to do. Nobody wearing masks.

Having normal, loving and competent adults in our White House again will be a dream come true. Four years ago at this time, I was all about giving the guy a chance even while disagreeing vehemently with his policies. Now that I've seen him in action, I, like the majority of Americans, want him out of our House no matter what. I can only hope that the Biden campaign is targeting those precious swing states to tip the Electoral College because the majority vote is a done deal.

If you want more tears of joy and hopefulness for a return to the better angels of our national nature, listen to Barack Obama's speech last night.

Tears were constantly welling up in my eyes during that speech too, Karen.

When you think things like 100+ people conventions will be a thing? Anyone heard any skillful estimates?
