77,981 cases that is up 7000 cases in 24 hours. I get my test results back tonight or today

I'm guessing not many people in the world hope they get a positive test back for the COVID-19 virus. But I've already been sick for weeks. I would really like a positive on my test. I want to know that this was it. That I am nearly better. That I only need to recover and then I'll be ok. I do not have much of a cough anymore. I still get headaches. I still get breathless and have very little energy. But I am getting better. And so are Juergen, Jessica, and Sarah. So I find out soon if I am positive. And I hope that I am. I hope that we can say we are recovered. It would be very special freedom. The freedom of being on the other side of the unknown. But it could be that I test negative. I am hoping I get a positive. I thought a lot about all the doctors and medical staff fighting in this war. For them, this is a war. And I felt a great deal of grief for all they are carrying. I am praying for them, thinking of them. We all owe a great deal of gratitude for all they are doing. I've heard it a few times...we signed an oath. That oath means something to them. But we do not often see oaths honored anymore. A marriage, for example, is an oath. A vow. But people break it all the time. So it is amazing to witness this ...people fulfilling a calling. Risking their lives, and going the extra miles to fulfill a calling. This is just one thing I consider as I an stuck in my bed. Businesses are beginning to fail. We are starting to see companies file for bankruptcy. The airline I have a ticket with this September looks like they will also fail. The company Philip wanted to work for looks like it will fail too. Got the phone call from the health department. The test is negative. I do not now have COVID-19. They can not say if I had it, only that I do not have it now. I am pretty sad about that. It felt like I had a chance of escaping this jail. But now I need to keep staying in the house and being super careful. And who could blame me for wanting this over?

67,051 cases and I will be tested today

I have been sick for weeks.  I am actually feeling a little better.  But I can not really breathe as well as I should.  We called the doctor yesterday to see if anything could be done to improve my lungs.  I get so tired after about 20 mins of work.  And it is frustrating.  I have this time, but zero energy to do anything.  The doctor said they do not know how long it takes to recover from Coronavirus.  And that it could be my heart.  That was scary.  She told me to get extra sleep.  If it did not improve I would need to see a heart doctor.  And then she remembered I have an autistic daughter.  And because I am a caretaker, she ordered a test.  So I guess the only reason I finally get a test is because of Jessica.  And I do not know if it will test me as positive.  I have been sick for weeks.  I may already be recovered? We are kind of hoping it is positive.  It will at least explain my symptoms an...

103,375 cases -Czech PSA Makes the Case for Face Masks |

Yesterday I got to go shopping alone. I wore a facemask, glasses, and gloves. I kept far from all the other shoppers. But it was so nice to just walk. The store and the parking lot was actually empty. There is such a strange atmosphere. It is like walking in a disaster film. I went to the big store Globus because we are out of toilet paper, and other stores were out of it. I am watching the news. Lately, it is all about how we could restart the economy. I think it will take real wisdom and maybe a few miracles. I agree with the lockdown. When I look at Italy and New York, I can see how important this lockdown is. But it is really painful for the economy. In Africa where people live from Hand To Mouth, it is more than painful. It is tragic. In East Africa, 50% of the population lives from whatever they make in a day. So this lockdown is going to cause hunger and homelessness. The governments already carry too much debut. They can not afford to borrow more money to ...
