New Adventures of a Single Woman

  Covid19 is getting bad in the  US. As of today 250000 have died and over a million have been infected.  It is spreading rapidly all over the country.  As we are nearing into the Holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas it is doubtful whether they will be celebrated in the same way if at all.  AT this point I haven't been to church since March.  The churches were closed by the government at that time but have since reopened but with restrictions on how many people can attend and of course people have to be separated.  A new term "Social Distancing".  I have just found out that a couple of relatives have been positive for Covid.  They are not people I generally am in contact with so I wouldn't be in danger of contracting it from them.  Most people are wearing masks to prevent the spread of the virus but there are those that don't believe in it and will not wear them.  Who knows what actually works.   So another issue is th...

As of today over 50,000 people in the United States alone have perished.  It is a pandemic and has affected over 180 countries in the world.  It has closed businesses worldwide,  affected the airlines, the cruise ship industry, retail shops, small businesses and much more as well as caused a lot of suffering due to illness and death.  Schools have been closed and students have been taking classes virtually .  ie: via computer learning.
