Around here - Coronavirus Update

I am posting these details for recording and history purposes on my blog.  The numbers are staggering when you think that every number is a person who has contracted Covid-19 or died as a result of it.  The whole situation is so tragic and the entire world has been affected.

    The COVID numbers are, indeed, awful and here in the U.S. it's such a crazy time. I'm worried about what the next couple of months will bring for us.

    Such sobering statistics and such a difficult time for so many people who have become ill, lost loved ones, lost their jobs or businesses or are isolated from their loved ones. Ot's incredible the impact right around the world. Meg

      I know..apparently Turkey is reporting 10,000 new cases a day at the moment...here in Australia we are wanting zero new cases a day and if we have 2 cases it's 2 cases too many. I'm so glad our Govt shut down early.

    Happy Mother's Day, Kathy. Last month I started writing down on the calendar the number of fatalities in Australia when we had a couple of deaths here due to locals having been on cruise ships. The numbers overseas are mind boggling especially in the US. I do hope there is no second wave here due to the easing of restrictions and some people being careless.
