Yearly Archives: 2020

April started off with a bang as coronavirus cases in the U.S. surpassed 200,000 and deaths approached 5,000. The president has warned the country that the next two or three weeks are going to be bad, and the latest numbers demonstrate the accuracy of his warning.

Since the presidential press briefing last night (Tuesday, March 31, 2020), it seems that people are opening their eyes to the reality of COVID-19.  Maybe it...

We appear to be entering the dark days of COVID-19, when deaths in the U.S. go from dozens to hundreds and people start to wonder if those rumors that we were just 10 days behind Italy were in fact true.

What does it say about our time in quarantine that getting mail is now the highlight of our day?

The COVID-19 death rate in the United States pushed past the 3,000 mark, reaching 3,073 as of this morning. That’s an increase of 24 percent or 587, the largest one-day death toll for the U.S.

It’s been 11 days since we last got groceries and we’re completely out of fresh vegetables, so I went back to the online store...

It’s Monday morning, which means back to work for those lucky enough to still have jobs and back to our screens for the rest of us as we rush to see this morning’s harvest of coronavirus news, more shutdowns and the unending assault of bickering politicians. But for anyone looking into the details there is some good news.

It’s Day 16 and we’ve totally adapted to being locked in. I guess whomever it was that said it takes two weeks to make something a habit was right. I mean, I know there’s a real world out there, but I no longer miss it. I’m just grateful for my iPhone tells is or I would have no idea what day of the week it is.

America has now suffered 2,133 deaths from the coronavirus, more than a third of them in New York State. That’s an increase of 487, or 30 percent, since yesterday. In another sad milestone, Italy surpassed 10,000 deaths, a point the U.S. could reach in a week if we continue to progress at our current rate.

I start out every day with at least $40 of cash in my pocket. Thanks to the Coronavirus, I’ve unloaded the same $40 from my pocket every night for several weeks. I guess you could say it’s being quarantined.
