Miracle Whip.

Exhibition game from Toronto. Point and Kucherov had 2 goals each. Shenn with a goal. Vasilevski stopped 26 shots. Since all of the games will be played in Canada, Eastern Conference in Toronto and Western Confernce in Edmonton, all Lightning fans are "Distant Thunder". I doubt there are many in Toronto.

There are currently 27 vaccines under development world wide.

Just for clarity, SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes COVID-19 disease.

Yesterday, Moderna started Phase III testing of their vaccine.

On April 20th the death rate was 5.74%. On May 27th it was 4.36%. On June 15th it was 3.84%. Yesterday 1.38%

As of last week, though, the TBYFL was pushing ahead. They allowed resumption of conditioning practice last Monday and have scheduled August 17 as the start of full contact practices. Games are still scheduled to start on September 5.

I don't know about the national death rate, but the death rate in Florida, one of the "hot" spots, dropped below 1.4% for the first time since early March.

I love peanut butter, but I prefer cheese crackers.

Of the 4 people I know who have tested positive for Covid. 2 had no symptoms. 1 had mild flu like symptoms. One is still recovering from loss of taste and cold like symptoms. She is over the cold and her taste is coming back.

Happy Birthday @TheDeuce

I now know 4 people who have tested positive for the virus. All are related to work. A fellow who tested positive over a month ago is due back to work on Monday. He had no symptoms but tested positive second time after his 1st 14 day quarantine. His last test was negative after a 2nd 14 day quarantine. A customer service agent who was already working from home caught it from her husband. Her daughter also tested positive for Covid. For some reason, her husband's test results took more than 2 weeks to process, and though they came back positive, by the time he got them, he had been symptom free from more than 2 weeks and was cleared to return to work. He had a mild flu like symptoms, nothing more. The daughter had no symptoms at all. The CSR from my workplace had mild cold symptoms and had lost her sense of taste and smell. With the exception of her senses, which are improving, she has recovered. Since she is working from home, she has not missed a day of work.

Gives it kind of a soccer feel.

Depression 8 becomes Tropical Storm Hanna, the 8th Atlantic named storm of the season and we still have a week left in July. In 2005, the year with the most named storms (28) and 3 of the most devastating Hurricanes in US history (Katrina, Rita, and Wilma), The eighth named storm was Harvey which became a tropical storm on August 1st.

This storm could be a threat to the Gulf Coast next week.

Just for perspective, in Florida, Hillsborough County's total hospital bed census (all beds including ICU) is 3,360. 607, 18%, are diagnosed with Covid.

Ahh, but a new one comes out in October. I like to re-read books because I always pickup things I did not catch the 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd time around and Reacher books are always entertaining. Most people listen to a music album over and over. I am that way with books.

I have no way of getting the source data, but the allegations of using anitbody test results as positive test results are prevalent at the moment. Again, with the exception of channel 35's reporting, I've seen no creditable proof, just allegations.

The number of cases statewide has increased by more than 140%, so there could be a case made that the mask ordinances are working, I rarely see anybody inside a business without a mask. You were down here. People are following the laws. The allegations of fraud are rampant, but with the exception of the investigative reports made by channel 35 in Orlando, I've seen no creditable proof of such. They started the month off testing like crazy, but with all the fraud allegations, it has dropped to about 80,000 tests a day, statewide. Yes. I am a nerd. I keep a running spreadsheet.

Friday July 24 will mark one month since Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas Counties implemented their mask ordinances and closed all of the bars. Since July 1st the number of positive cases in Hillsborough alone has increased by more than 110%.
