About that Covid-19

[fbhjr]

I haven’t talked much about the whole Covid stuff. I talk about the effects to my work and such, but not the disease itself.

I can’t lie, it worries me a lot. I’ve had breathing problems my whole life. My wife has breathing problems and has a family history of it too.
And, my blood type seems to be the most susceptible to it too.
Of course, I’m old fat, and my blood sugar is borderline too.

There are a bunch of places I check every day for information. And, it has occurred to me I should park them here so I can refer to them later if needed.

I like the chart on this one and often pick different countries and states to see where things are.

This one updates every day about 4 in the afternoon my time. Good maps for the US.

This is good to compare with things that came before:

My state does a good one. It updates every day so you have to put in the latest date to get the most recent. And, you can go back to look at old ones too.

I watch a a doctor on you tube and he goes into some of the medical things...knowing the science helps me cope.

Knowledge is power

I look at the NYTimes site probably once a day, just to check on what the daily totals look like and to check if we're still on a downward trend in MA.
