Day 26

Today is April 6, 2020. For the first time that I have noticed there was a decrease in the percentage of new cases and deaths. In looking back this has happened before, but not as high a percent. It has not occurred often, yet it is a positive trend we hope will continue Here is the World Health Organization and their new dashboard...frankly I thought the other one was better.  However this new site comes with other graphs and numbers regarding the Covid19 virus outbreak..

Today at 6:30 pm Governor Polis of Colorado addressed the state and has set the restriction ban date to be lifted on April 26th four days prior to the national date. He believes we are making progress and the stay at home order is saving lives and he is hopeful we can get back to a semblance of normalcy in our daily lives.  As it goes though all is subject to change.  Colorado, in general, is not a state that has been hit hard by the virus.  However, the nation continues to brace for what expects to be a rough few weeks as hospitals are short on supplies, space and energy as health care workers are being taxed to the max.  Around the globe masks, gowns and ventilators are being made.  The President continues to trip on his words stating incorrect information regarding tests and possible treatments. He erred in his information regarding the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine. 

Today Maren and I taught remotely and were able to go on two walks. I practiced mindfulness a few times today. The world continues to mourn the dead and aid the sick.
