A little over two weeks ago, I uploaded an update to this
blog. What an eventful two weeks it has been.
Regarding the pandemic, there have been about 3.3 million
new cases of COVID-19 in the world (33% increase), with about 78,000 (16%
increase) new COVID-19 deaths in the world. There have been about 925,000
(36% increase) new cases of COVID-19 in the USA, with about 10,500 (8%
increase) new deaths in the USA. There have been about 11,400 (13%
increase) new cases of COVID-19 in Pennsylvania, with about 323 (5% increase)
new deaths in Pennsylvania. There have been about 1,800 (7%
increase) new cases of COVID-19 in Philadelphia, with about 53 (3% increase)
new deaths in Philadelphia. By comparison, there have been about 2,800
(16% increase) new cases of COVID-19 in Nebraska, with about 22 (8% increase)
new deaths in Nebraska. There have been about 500 (30% increase) new cases of
COVID-19 in Lancaster County, Nebraska, with 1 (8% increase) in new deaths in
Lancaster County, Nebraska. At this rate (average of 620 deaths per
day in the USA), we can expect to suffer another 227,000 deaths over the next
12 months, at which time there may be a safe and effective vaccine available to
all Americans or therapeutic available for those with the worst
infections. Infection rates appear to be increasing in about two-thirds
of the states in the nation, with the fastest increases in those states that
reopened very aggressively 6-10 weeks ago.
It is no longer sufficient to be passively non-Racist; it
is necessary for all humans of good conscience to be actively
anti-Racist. To be anti-Fascist is to be anti-Racist. It
is time for the citizens to reform their local police
departments. It is time for economic justice and racial justice.
It has sometimes been difficult to classify the items in
this blog according to subject matter. That is because many issues
are so inextricably interrelated. I have tried to organize the
articles/information/links into the following categories:
Veterans –
info on former military members, the consequences of their service, etc.
Criminal Justice and
Racism and Ageism and other discrimination –
info on dehumanization, etc.
Economics and Coronavirus – info on the pandemic, its economic impacts, etc.
Economics and Corruption
and Healthcare and Education – info on
capitalism vs. socialism, etc.
Ecology and Pollution – info on climate change (greatest existential threat to
life on earth), etc.
Politics and Coronavirus – info on how the political structure is responding to the
pandemic, etc.
Politics – info on power struggles between parties and special
interests, etc.
Terrorism – info on the middle east, other geopolitical topics, etc.
Military – info on DoD, Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, Coast
Guard, National Guard, etc.
General and Miscellaneous – info on spirituality, music videos, etc.
I hope you find the material in this update to be
informative and of interest. If you do, please share the link for
this blog with your friends through social media and through
email. There is no financial benefit to me to produce this blog; it
is a labor of love for the biosphere, including all humanity. Thanks
for reading and sharing.
Feedback is welcome.
