I wonder what their job was in the hospital or if this is just a continuation of the game of telephone.

On the first of July there were 17 people who had died from Covid-19 listed in Sumter County, Florida. It has very, very, slowly climbed to that number and held at 17 for awhile.

Today there were two added and we now stand at 40. In between we had a lot of folks came to visit folks here. We had some Fourth of July parties and out in the world people were rubbing elbows marching for BLM. A few driveway parties were held here in The Villages.

I am sure that there are some errors in the number of cases reported, but I think it is very likely that the cases of people who died from the virus may be underreported.

I am not terrified. I am not frightened. But I am not going to gather in a group for church or a party. Unless and until there is a damn satisfactory way to stop this damn bug. I am anxious for a vaccine or any medicine that will prevent or curtail the terrible inflammation and damage to the lungs and to the heart and to the circulatory system that it inflicts. I am tired of the pseudo-scientists jacking me around and telling me their implausible fairy stories. A bug is a bug. It doesn't vote. Some are damned nasty. I remember polio. When a small organism is gonna harm you bad, give it a wide berth.
