Today, we hosted the Great Raisin Search and I ended up getting quite a workout in the process.

Reported COVID-19 cases in the U.S. have now exceeded three quarters of a million and there have been more than 36,000 deaths.

The coronavirus data appears to be improving across the board as cases slow and the curve begins to slope downhill.

On Day 36 of our life in quarantine, we’re bored, but that’s better than being anxious, frightened or in a panic. Life goes on, but it goes on slowly.

COVID-19 is killing a couple thousand people per day in the U.S., but the shutdown is killing far more jobs and companies. The battlefield is shifting from the hospital to Main Street as protests increase.
