I assume we'll have some that have yet to be reported which will count for May. Pretty good line set by Denmen. He may have a future in Vegas.
Kudos go to @GrayDawg . Total for May reported by Johns Hopkins was 41,364.
FWIW Line for June is 30,055 (assumes Tx, Ga and Fl do not get caught).
So much for tracking new cases based on gradual re-openings .....
2 more weeks! ;)
Techie hubby just sent me this. I was afraid of stuff like this...😞

Well good news is we'll know pretty soon if we can have fans in the stands.
I saw some of the Bristol race this past weekend and it was not the same. I thought they were practicing at first.
Agree with Bristol - but it was better than watching a 2019 replay...
A little bit of excitement here in the upstate of SC. Had a few protest nights that churned out a little vandalism, but that's about it. Hope it doesn't cause any spike in transmission, but - like most places - the large majority of the protestors were behaving, had good sense, and were demonstrating for a cause that needed attention.
The last two weeks has shown an uptick in cases, but still a relative leveling of hospitalizations due to Covid-19 in our state (presently sits at 425). Our hospital systems are slowly getting back to their normal levels of hospitalizations which allows them to make a profit and employ people. If the goal is see the virus dwindle away, that ain't happening. If it is to keep the medical system from being overwhelmed (while the virus runs its course through the population), we have more than accomplished that. It seems like - as long as nothing really spikes in an area (and I think the spacing, masking, and common-sense actions of most) we will continue where we are until a treatment/vaccine comes about. It sucks, because people are still dying (lost 5 more yesterday). But I am not sure what else we can do right now.
The big change coming will be school in the fall. I am hoping that we have tons of testing ability with a quick turnaround by then, so we can trace, quarantine, and keep this thing away from the people it is most often killing.
We have starting workouts for our athletes here at school this week. Temp checks when they come in. Spread out stations in the gym for agility work, rotating through small groups in the weight rooms. It is different, but the kids are getting great work in just about the same amount of time. If protocols hold, there actually may be a ball involved in July.
And, on a side note, I bet nobody gets a cold for months around here. You could eat off of just about every flat surface. Again, if there is a positive from our new protocols is that most communicable disease transfer should be eliminated.
Got to perform experiments today for the first time since March, so that was nice.
Hey, Congrats! Normalcy is the new valium...
Unfortunately its still anything but normal. So many new safety protocols that we have to do, but I'm glad I can actually start generating data instead of reading papers and writing a review article all day.
Glad your back doing what you like to do. Sorry that I was making some light hearted humor regarding it. Just trying to lighten things up around here.
I’ve decided I’m done with this year. The only thing that can remedy it is college football.
Amen.
I finally had my first travel baseball game of the summer today. It was a godsend. One of the things I love about sports is no matter how crazy things get off the field, there is always clarity between the white lines. There is order, everyone is equal, everyone plays by the same rules, etc.
It was also just great to see the boys being boys and having fun.
That is awesome. I can't wait for the day I can worship at my church. Watching it online is great but not close to the same.
