Source: Washington Post

In one week, new daily coronavirus cases in the United States went from 104,000 to more than 145,000 on Wednesday, the latest all-time high. Almost every metric is trending in the wrong direction as states add restrictions and health officials warn of a dangerous fall ahead.

The rise in infections comes with new highs in the number of deaths reported in a single day at 1,549, the highest since May 14. Tennessee, Alabama and Minnesota all reached new highs in the number of deaths reported in a single day.

But don’t see any reason that it’s going to slow. I read today that a lot of people are planning on traveling and doing their regular thing for thanksgiving. I might go to my sisters for thanksgiving, if we do it at all it’ll be out in the car port and I’d stay in a hotel.

His challenges are almost too much to comprehend for me right now.

We're not even through the triple holiday season and by the time he's in office, case numbers will be out the roof.

We need a concerted effort to demonstrate our support for Joe and Kamala in any way we can.
