An old friend from Ohio died from it day before yesterday. Their family is much like ours and probably yours. I have known all four generations of these good folks.

This morning their daughter posted on Facebook to pray for their mother, his wife. She is sick with Covid-19. They can't make plans for a funeral for their dad.
Medical experts at Columbia University mathematically calculated that IF the US had shut down ONLY 2 weeks earlier that about 60,000 more Americans would still be alive. You can Google that!
