Day 102

Today is June 21, 2020 Fathers Day. In the news: according to the Washington Post, “ Eight states on Saturday reported their highest single-day case counts since the pandemic began, and daily new infections nationwide exceeded 30,000 on both Friday and Saturday.“ This news coming on the heels of a Trump -Republican rally in Tulsa, OK where thousands gathered to show their support of the POTUS. Most did not wear masks during the indoor rally and although they were freely handed out.  Some protesters gathered outside, but no violence was reported. Spain is reopening its borders, but other countries are dealing with large infection rates and struggling to control the virus, which has now infected 8.7 million people worldwide. Russia, Indonesia, Chile, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Mexico, Brazil and the U.S.are countries that saw over 3,000 new cases yesterday. Florida and Arizona continues to show increasing numbers in both cases and deaths with Florida losing nearly as many lives as repotting new cases. 

Today is also Father’s Day and I would like to acknowledge my dad. He is eighty years old and recently had a hospital stay lasting twelves days. He had an infection in his blood and the doctors were able to catch it and get antibiotics in him immediately. He is home now and on the mend. 

Happy Father’s Day POP!
