something doesn't seem right to me ~ when trump is guilty he blames and degrades ~ I'm not totally convinced that China was completely at fault. China may have been it's origin. trump knew more than he led us to believe.

At the beginning of the pandemic, there were a couple of news stories about how the U.S. military had accidentally spread it to China in the first place. Then there was nothing more heard about it. I've got my suspicions.

Any day now, as the Covid-19 death toll nears 500K, I wonder if families of those who died will launch a class action law suit against 45 and those who continuously lied and did nothing to protect American's who have lost loved ones.

I hope by fall of this year I will be able to get the Moderna vaccination. We are not sure when my Rico will get his, due to his chemo tx and other fragile healh issues.

In the meantime, we double up on mask use and we are especially vigilant with enforcing social distance and utilizing other measures for self protection.

One of my staff is in the middle of chemo for colon cancer and his immune system is pretty much wiped out. He got his first shot last week. When he went to his oncologist to see if he was eligible for the vaccine, his oncologist said there was no reason for him not to get it. And I know he was nervous because there are questions on the consent regarding whether you are on treatment or had recently been in treatment for cancer and he was afraid they would deny him, but no issue. So hopefully your fiance will be eligible and then you both can start the process.

Good luck.

Even with the race to vaccinate as many Americans as possible accelerating, some experts are warning that if Americans don't also follow proper safety and mitigation measures the U.S. could see a COVID-19 resurgence.

Although the country's national daily case average continues to fall -- about 32.5% over the last month -- nearly a third of all states have seen their average number of cases rise at least 10%.

Those 15 states are: Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon and West Virginia, according to an ABC News analysis of state data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Several states -- Delaware, Idaho, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon and West Virginia -- have seen their case averages increase by at least 25% in the last week.

"Minnesota, I think, is really a harbinger of things to come. We're loosening up all the restrictions we've had, and in some ways creating a perfect storm moment for virus transmission, whether it's a variant or not," Michael Osterholm, an epidemiologist and head of the University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, told ABC News' "World News Tonight" on Wednesday.

It strikes me as "fishy" that Florida nor Texas is included in this uptick! Surely their governors couldn't be suppressing case numbers or could they!?
