As I suspect you know, it's been an especially brutal four months here in New York, but all creatures in this household--human, avian, canine and aquatic--are fine...so far.
Actually, the best gift I received on my birthday (July 12) was the news that no New Yorker died of covid-19 that day, for the first time since March 12th--precisely four months. We've gone from being the state with the highest rate of infection to the state with the lowest. Sadly, much of the rest of the country is going in the opposite direction. What a colossal and tragic failure of leadership.
Here's to brighter days ahead and that we all get to the other side of this.
Thanks, all, for the birthday wishes.

I am on the opposite coast from you yellowfacedviolet, we were doing OK but now are in for another shut down. Loved reading what you accepted as a birthday gift. Hopefully we'll be there soon. Next year - a more traditional birthday gift for you I hope! |

I am on the opposite coast from you yellowfacedviolet , we were doing OK but now are in for another shut down. Loved reading what you accepted as a birthday gift. Hopefully we'll be there soon. Next year - a more traditional birthday gift for you I hope! We have many family members, friends and professional colleagues on the West Coast and speak to some of them daily. That, combined with the news reports, has us concerned and following closely.
I'm mystified by what's happening in California. Your governor and your citizens did everything right early on. We on the East Coast were envious. I don't understand this surge there. Florida, Texas, Arizona and the others who jumped the gun and opened too early and proceeded too fast--what's happening to them at least makes sense.
Stay safe, please.

Thank you! Because so many of the new infections are younger people, I think we are seeing the results of the mass demonstrations after George Floyd's death. Also the re-opening of beaches had crowds swarming to the beaches.
