Lots of good things for me to read this month. I need to keep your post up in my browser and read some of these articles when I have downtime at work!
Thanks for the prompt to check that I’m registered to vote. We got a postcard yesterday that said records show that a resident in this house isn’t registered. Phil was confident he was registered and I was 99% sure I had but now I’ve confirmed I’m registered.
You’re welcome. :) I am glad you checked on your voter registration!
Thanks for sharing all of these! COVID definitely has me super nervous still – and even more so that people are out and about and not being cautious anymore. Obviously not everyone, but a lot of people seem to not care, don’t think it’s as bad as we’ve been told, or I don’t know…that it’s gone?? lol
You’re welcome :)
Thanks for all the links!

Although I’m not an expert, I agree with all their estimates.
We have a local marathon with thousands of participants that is supposed to happen in September. They still haven’t cancelled it.
Sometimes people are just stubborn and think the virus will just magically go away.
You’re welcome. I thought the NYT article was so good.
