Me too. That little town in the article is not far from me. We just had a major local supplier shut operations for quarantine reasons. I get all of my windshields and fluids from them. Not good.

We're probably going to soon exceed the number of daily deaths that we saw back during the original peak, in mid-April. 

Nuts.

2 co-workers have it. We closed our office last week and had it sanitized over the weekend. Glad that I've stayed away from that place.

Also had a friends wife, who was battling a brain tumor, pass last week due to COVID. They are younger than me. What a crappy way to go. Prognosis good regarding tumor, but the rehab facility gives you COVID

That is tragic. horrible.

Just got word that my brother-in-law has it.  Mild symptoms so far.  His son (my nephew) had it earlier in the year and it just presented as a typical flu-type deal for him, so hopefully it'll be the same for my BIL.  

lousubcap

Da-n @JohnInCarolina - I hope the symptoms remain as you presented and rapidly dissipate.  This F'ing virus has life of its own.  Vaccines are gonna be a needed deterrent but given the mind-set of the body politic, we are dealing with this for the long haul.  
I have confidence in the science winning out over time but that window is measured in years, I'm afraid.  My window is not that wide.

...and this list will be totally different, end of this week.

From the article:

"Tradition has a lot to do with it. I think it’s a very good thing for tradition."

Given people have a history of making idiotic decisions while knowing the risk, I guess that's a tradition.

I was told the media would all stop talking about covid after the election.  I assume the goal posts have been pushed back until after the inauguration now?

I won a dinner  bet on a similar prophecy.

No, I don't think so.

Be careful out there, it may be a long way to 'normal' .

Made a Commissary run today, and it looks like its "Essential Personnel" only again, the base was a ghost town.  Refrigerator trucks are starting to appear at the utard hospitals, too.   

SamIAm2

@Botch - are those refer trucks for the new vaccines or the morgue

Boggles the mind...
One million new cases in four days.
Last week alone more deaths than since pandemic began in Canada.
Yesterday alone more deaths than S Korea and Japan combined in entire pandemic to date.
