Today is Dia de los Santos (All Saints Day) here in Colombia.
Last night I took a
Zopiclona and went to bed at 10:30pm, got up twice during the night, finally waking/getting
up at 7:15.
Because today is a
holiday there wasn’t any Colombian morning news. I put on Chicago sports but
got a lot of buffering. I put on CBS New in the Morning and got a good
connection.
Due to Saturday’s time change in the
US the Today show now starts at 10am instead of 9am. Still, I left the
apt at 9:20 (Teresa looked to be ready to leave for her walk a few minutes
later.) to meet Marcos for a joint walk. We walked to Parque Envigado, rested a
bit then walked back to La Buena Mesa. Parva was closed so we had coffee
at Antonio’s Gelato. Marcos thinks Rob might be able to help me with my
Windows 10 problem but first I’ll try Chessbase and then Juan. We talked about
Teresa and I visiting Chicago next year and he volunteered to check on flight
prices even though they will change between now and then.
I finished season 1 of Bosch on
Medellin TV and started season 2.
Teresa returned at 11:45.
Marcos called me at 12:15 to inform me
he found American Airlines round-trip tickets for next June 19 through July 7
for $375 apiece. Nice price but I’m not booking tickets so far into the future.
Teresa left at 2:15 to meet a friend
at Mayorca and then they are going to the gym where her friend is going to help
her talk to management.
I watched more episodes of season 2 of
Bosch on Medellin TV.
Teresa returned at 5:30 with a new
pair of Nike shoes she bought at an outlet store in Mayorca.
Federal
authorities are expected to re-erect a “non-scaleable” fence around the White
House on Monday, a day before a presidential election many fear may lead to
mass protest, civil unrest and even armed insurrection.
An
algorithm developed in the US has correctly identified people with Covid-19
only by the sound of their coughs. In tests, it achieved a 98.5% success rate
among people who had received an official positive coronavirus test result,
rising to 100% in those who had no other symptoms.
A new study finds that coronavirus patients who had severe symptoms can
experience a decline in brain functions months after recovery.
Some common cognitive issues include memory loss, brain fog, and an
inability to concentrate for sustained periods of time.
Researchers say that the cognitive decline is equivalent to the brain
aging 10 years.
HealthCare.gov
is the face of Obamacare, the online marketplace where millions of Americans
sign up for health insurance — and now, two days before the 2020 election, the
Trump administration has approved a plan to scrap the website in the swing
state of Georgia.
The
US has 9,163,760 ð 9,278,450 ð 9,330,572 coronavirus cases
with 230,100+ ð 230,800+ ð 231,100+ deaths.
Per
Medellin Guru, as of this afternoon Colombia has a total of 1,074,184 ð 1,083,321 ð 1,093,256 cases with 31,670 deaths. Medellin has
97,721 ð 98,587 ð 99,977 cases, an increase of 1,404 from November 1st
to 2nd. Envigado has a total of 7,616 cases, an increase of 259 from
November 1st to 2nd. New infections are increasing again.
Joke of
the day
After 70 years
of marriage, a man is asked what the secret of a long and successful marriage is.
"It's
simple," he replied. "Two nights a week we go to a quiet restaurant
and enjoy exquisite food, some candlelight, soft music, and a slow walk home.”
"She goes on Wednesdays, and
I go on Saturdays."
