Day 37

April 17, 2020 As the pandemic continues to rattle the world.The number of cases has surpassed two million worldwide and the death total now exceeds 150,000. Most people are doing their best to remain positive and stay active. Even though 95% of the country (US) is under stay-at-home orders.
In national news president Trump has stirred up some protesters with his tweets as some state small business owners are fighting back against stay-at-home restrictions. The country is looking to reopen on some level beginning April 30, but many are being impatient and trying to jump start the process. Governors have the power to reopen before the Trump order, but many are hesitant as new cases are still pouring in by the thousands and death is all around.  The argument is for smaller communities that have a small number of cases and are eager to get commerce going to remain in business. The medical experts fear that lack of testing is a problem. Testing would allow us to track and manage the infected persons without spreading it unwillingly. Supply shortages and restricted testing remain a problem. Antibody tests are being rolled out, but they are not vetted by the FDA. All in all it  remains a very fluid situation and one that has many officials and experts arguing over the next steps. The latest point of contention is the upcoming reopening of businesses. In local news, Colorado had a record low temperature three days last week, but it is sunny today with a high
of 53 degrees.
Another day of remote teaching looks and feels like this...
