  I've been looking through the news like you and everybody else searching for signs of some improvement or just something that is positive, some light at the end of the tunnel. There is a lot of work going on to rapidly produce a vaccine, doctors are becoming more and more aware of the virus' effects, but unfortunately the numbers are not good. The news that the CDC is warning of a second wave next Winter is particularly disturbing. I do not mean to be an alarmist here, yet it is an alarming time.

  The only good news I'm seeing is that Trump's approval is dropping. His rally behind the president gain has loosened, it was indeed temporary. Trump must go this is imperative. We are also learning that the anti-lockdown protests are funded by some deep pocket individuals with previous ties to Trump, Mercer is in the mix.

  Keep social distancing, stay healthy. We tend to see our financial losses as severely troubling, but look at it this way. If you or I were on a respirator fighting for our lives, the sudden drop in our present financial status would have no relevance at all. We would easily trade all of it for our life. Right now, your health is your most important asset.

Dr. Bronner spoke to me from his soap label in '73: "Health Is Our Greatest Wealth"
YES, We are grateful.

My sense is that now we are only experiencing phase 1. We're stuck with this for some time to come. As Colbert noted in his monologue last night, Germany has canceled Oktoberfest and Germany has a realistic and knowledgeable leader who sees the writing on the wall.

All the more reason to value and preserve health as best we can.
