    The death rate continues to drop and it dropped every day this month.

    If only the case count and death totals were dropping too. Now back to May death levels with hospitalization rates even higher

    If we're looking to draw comparisons to a school setting, I think these things are significant. Also, usually for overnight camps the "mess hall" can get pretty crowded. I'd be curious to know how well they were able to adhere to social distancing practices in general.

    Playing politics with people's lives. Not cool if true.

    Kushner's coronavirus team shied away from a national strategy, believing that the virus was hitting Democratic states hardest and that they could blame governors, report says

    Harpers Ferry from Maryland heights. First time ever I’ve had the summit to myself, which is weird. The bridge on the left you have to cross to get here by it’s owned by the NPS and was closed until a couple of weeks ago. At the top of the bluff there’s a old civil war fort.

    from worldometer, after subtracting yesterday's final total tests from today's, there was 1,070,000 test results today, a all time high i believe. there were 70,904 new cases, so a little under 7% positive for the day.

    Merck to start trials for its current Covid-19 treatment. This treatment is a capsule that is intended to be given to people as soon as they are showing symptoms or a positive test.

    Your asking a question that nobody can answer fully, just make suggestions and hope for the best. You and your family just flew back from Alaska, how did isolate on the plane, at the airport, restaurants, the boat you was on etc? You didn't because you couldn't. I mean we all are required to wear those life saving mask, hand sanitizers, stay 6ft apart or the best you can but on a plane that's impossible. Well for starters if I was in charge all employees would be required to take a rapid test day before reporting to work then would work 1 full day on then 2 off. I would attempt to separate the vulnerable from the healthiest, no inside visitations and try to keep everything sanitized.
