And one more update...

Okay, let's start at the planetary level...
Worldwide:
At 7:13am
Confirmed cases - 2,509,859
Deaths - 177,047
US:
Confirmed cases - 809,780
Deaths - 44,825

Btw - look at how the global stats increased by 9:16am:
Confirmed cases - 2,518,706
Deaths - 178,706
US figures were unchanged on this one.

At 11:50am, there's as yet no change in the US numbers. A different story worldwide:
Confirmed cases - 2,524,163
Deaths - 178,922

SHEESH -
At 1:38pm
The worldwide stats keep moving the wrong way, even while there's no change in domestic stats (at least not yet).
Combined cases - 2,531,779
Deaths - 179,207

At 6pm
Confirmed cases - 833,069
Deaths - 46,302
At last count, how do our numbers relate to the worldwide count?
Our total of combined cases is about one third. and our number of deaths is very roughly somewhere between a quarter and a third of the world's death toll.

On the list of countries, we're tops by a MILE.

We're number one.

And finally...
At 7:05pm, domestically
Confirmed cases - 833,438
Deaths - 46,324

But doesn't everybody wear sky-high stiletto heels to shovel dirt for a new tree?

I noticed she had an olive-colored coat. That wouldn't be the same one that had "I really don't care, do u?" on the back, is it?

OMG! What a terrifying experience!

Thank goodness you're still here to tell about it! Glad you ALL are still here.

Thank you for sharing. I was riveted, reading your post.

It's for intimidation purposes. If he can make you think you're in for misery,

he knows he can win most of his cases because that tactic will simply scare off any prospective plaintiffs, and they'll drop their lawsuits. And proverbially-speaking, "without firing a shot." He likes it to go nice 'n' easy so he doesn't have to pay big legal bills because he's essentially a lazy-ass who doesn't want to have to work too hard. Gaming the system allows him to "make stuff happen" and "get stuff done" without working up a sweat. Maybe that makes him feel like some big Superman-type who can boast "I alone can fix it."

Sheesh... I'm so sorry to hear that, Dread Pirate Roberts.

This is a time of great agony. Everyone has felt the pain. But yours is three-times-over. And over three days.

Are YOU doing okay?

Virtual hugs.

Yep. That's fascinating and horrifying at the same time.

I remember reading about it in history classes. The Black Plague. Also known as the Black Death. And people were changed. Society was changed. The whole "our way of life" thing was changed. Had to.

I've got 14 years of Catholic school informing my "Wonder years" so that's the filter in the picture for me here. (Amazing how powerful stuff like that still is... )

I can't help but gravitate toward the "who's the Antichrist" questions. And yet Scriptural Studies classes also got to the part that said "no one will know the hour" of the dreaded end times.

Weird, I know. But it's been in the back of my mind since trump came to power.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
