Corona Virus, August 31, 2020

 There are currently 6,130,945 reported case in the US and 186,543 deaths.

California has 704,649 cases and 12,940 deaths
Texas has 625,896 and 12,426 deaths
Florida has 623,471 cases and 11,187 deaths
New York has 439,229 cases and 32,951 deaths
Georgia has 269,508 cases and 5,608 deaths

I know I'm repeating myself, but the web site I've been using changed its format. Instead of providing cases from which I derived daily cases it is now providing daily cases from which I have to derive total cases. That makes updating the previous week's numbers a bit tedious. Then again everything is approximate anyway so it's close enough.

New Jersey seems to be flat. I suppose that's not too bad considering that more and more things are re-opening. Gyms can open, with rules, September 1. My gym is opening on September 8 but I doubt I'll go back just yet.

Again the Dashboard was slightly higher than the simple difference. I have no idea what's going on there.

My refrigerator is still working but my tooth is annoying me again. I suppose I could call the dentist.
