    Reported deaths Friday were 729. Today it's 887. 21% increase. That is not so comforting.
    For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12

    WHO has asked for his body to be returned? Sawyer's wife? Too late- they cremated him.

    That means we'd have more than 200,000 cases in 30 days, and that's only if it's a linear growth. If it's exponential, oof.
    "See, in the last few years...we've stumbled... And when you stumble a lot, you...you start looking at your feet. We have to make people...lift their eyes back to the horizon and see the line of ancestors behind us saying, 'Make my life have meaning.' And to our inheritors before us saying, 'Create the world we will live in.' I mean, we're not just holding jobs and having dinner. We are in the process of building the future."

    The still-high death rate multiplied by the highly-contagious nature of the virus still returns a high number of deaths, and a great deal of suffering for many.

    I sincerely hope your "meh" turns out to be the case.
