Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Sorry to hear that. Same with the guy that delivered my groceries today.

Instacart has become an incredibly valuable service. I make sure to tip well. I hope folks in Tacoma do too.

I'm curious about the various folks who deliver here. Older/younger, some seeming professionals who might have also lost their jobs too. I've even had people delivering in a BMW and once in an Escalade. The latter seemed particularly strange.

 

7/30 (1465) same as yesterday. Last 2 days (2930) deaths reported. Highest day since 5/27 (1567)
+68,569 new cases
Texas with back to back 300+ days

 

Hatcher Pass between Palmer and Willow. Miss that cool fresh air

 

do you think people will ever wake up and realize that Trump misled them and helped set us up for this massive fail?

 

Wow. When is that pic from?

 

I didn’t see anyone post this but maybe I missed.

 

how do you isolate people in nursing homes that need people to help take care of them? Nurses, CNA, therapists, cooks, maintenance workers, cleaning people all go to work at nursing homes. They bring covid with them. How do they isolate?

 

I know a guy who quit his full time job making $16 an hour because he was making $20+ an hour from instacart. So it isn't neccesarily all people that lost their jobs

 

the single reason i wont vote for him this time. terrible leadership skills.

 

Six more dogs have tested positive, including two that died in Georgia and South Carolina. People, I cannot stress this enough, do NOT make out with your dog during coronavirus season. Give your dog some space.

First dog to test positive for Covid-19 in the US, Buddy the German shepherd, has died - CNN

 

Buddy died of cancer but no more doggy park for us. Don't need the pooch bringing covid home

 

This was much friendlier than what I wanted to write. I like your use of "qualifiers" in place of what I would have bluntly claimed was prejudice.

 

Got out to some trails today. These are the Beaver Falls . . .

 

Beaver Falls empty into Lake Superior at Beaver Bay. Water here at lakeside was probably about 55 degrees. Went about 100ft across a rock pile into the Beaver river and took a swim in 75 degree water. Took our pup for her first swim today. She was hesitant, but managed to let me hold her and I made her swim back to shore. She did it! Here's Beaver Bay looking out to Lake Superior .

 

Our day started here at Illgen Falls in Tettegouche State Park. This was the third new waterfall we explored this summer.

 

45' drop from here. This whipper snapper survived.

 

What a bitch! LOL! (The pup). I figured I would post s joke that a 4 year old would find funny.

 

Who you callin a 4yr old?!

 

Here she is exploring the Lake Superior waters - was a bit before I "encouraged" her take the plunge in the river.
