Self-isolation Day 92.

Last night I went to bed at 10:30, got up once at 12:30, again at 5:30am, finally waking/getting up at 7:30.

My back feels pretty good this morning.

Last night I played 4 games on Chess.com, winning 1 and losing 3. My rating is now down to 1340.

Teresa informed me that Wilson probably won’t be able to hook up the water line. I told her Wilson can’t take the old refrigerator until the new one is completely installed. That should put a ‘sense of urgency’ into her.

I left the apt just before 9am and walked past Parva and San Marcos Church, through the little park to Calle 34?, down the hill to Avenida Las Vegas, north to the gas station and back to the apt all in 30 minutes.

Medellin Guru reported “Medellin had not experienced a big increase in cases like other cities until the past few days. But the number of cases started increasing in Medellin and hit a peak of 50 on June 15. So, we added Medellin to our list of problem cities.”

More rain in the morning but just a light drizzle. At 11:30 it was barely 70 degrees but it cleared and warmed up to 84 later.

Wilson delivered us chicken breast with fries and salad for lunch.

The guy who rents our garage space stopped by with our 90mil rental.

A woman in Texas has been diagnosed with the new coronavirus for the second time in four months. "For the SECOND time in 12 weeks I have contracted Covid19. Yes, you can get it again & it hit me like a ton of bricks…again. I'm here to tell you this is NOT over, it is very real & nothing to be flippant about. There are so many unknowns & the CDC cannot tell whether the virus was dormant all this time or if it was a new contraction. It is very different this time but no less horrendous," McKee wrote in the post, tagging her location as Texas Health Presbyterian hospital in Dallas. 

 

As cases of the coronavirus in Texas surpass 93,000, several reopened restaurants and bars in the Houston area have been closed after some employees tested positive for the virus.

On Tuesday, the state reported a record nearly 3,400 new cases, the highest daily case count since the outbreak began. Tuesday's case count is double the 1,700 new infections reported Monday.

The total number of new cases reported in the last week increased by nearly a third from the total reported the previous week. The state saw around 15,500 new infections from June 10 to 16, a nearly 30 percent jump from the 10,938 new infections reported from June 3 to 9, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

 

Data indicate that the country has yet to quash the first wave of the virus — let alone a second one. Florida, Texas, Arizona and Oklahoma are among approximately a dozen states seeing a surge in cases and hospitalizations. From Phoenix to Myrtle Beach, Houston to Orlando, restaurants are closing again; this time, it’s not because owners fear that someone in their midst might catch the coronavirus — it’s because they know that they already have. And in China, officials are moving rapidly to seal off Beijing — population 22 million — by canceling flights and trains amid growing fears that a second wave of covid-19 is gathering strength and could spread to the rest of the country.

 

I checked again and found Calendula Flower capsules on eBay so I ordered a bottle.

 

A Trump replay from March 18th: Trump signs the executive order to activate the Defense Production Act, but declines to use it. At the White House briefing he is asked about Senator Chuck Schumer’s call to urgently produce medical supplies and ventilators.

Trump responds: “Well we’re going to know whether or not it’s urgent.”

The US has 2,117,268 ð 2,147,506  ð 2,170,258 coronavirus cases with 116,079  ð 116,958 ð 117,680 deaths.

Per Medellin Guru, as of this afternoon Colombia has a total of 53,063 ð 54,931 ð 57,046 cases with 1,864 deaths.  Medellin has 854  ð 904 ð 939 977 cases, an increase of 38 from June 16th to 17th. Colombia has averaged 75 deaths daily over the past 3 days. Colombia’s rolling 6-day average of new cases is increasing now even faster than before. Medellin is now included in the 15 cities with the most increasing cases. Envigado has a total of 52 cases, an increase of 2 from June 15th to 16th.

Joke of the day
