"Health leaders also reported 302 new virus cases, bringing the cumulative infection count to 14,712.
El Paso has had five straight weeks of over 1,000 new cases each, and Sunday's tally puts the county almost a third of the way there for a potential sixth week."-KVIA
Lost a friend yesterday. Please consider helping out his family if you can.

Shit man, sorry to hear that. Sad.
Sorry to hear about your friend.
I can't believe his family has to pay his medical expenses. It should be paid for by his place of employment.
If anyone working at a high risk job gets COVID I’m sure their employer/insurer is going to fight tooth and nail to say they didn’t get the disease at work in order to avoid paying claims. It’s the same things when hurricanes hit. “Sorry your house was destroyed by falling debris, not the hurricane. Your policy only protects you against wind and water damage.”
But if you have health insurance you should be covered. It's doesn't matter where you got it from. It's just confusing why the family is going to be forced to pay so much out of pocket.
I hade no idea what his health insurance benefits were but an 80/20 or 90/10 plan could easily leave his family with a ton of expenses. A couple of my friends don’t have a cap on the out of pocket portion.
Ugh!

The key is not touching your face with dirty hands. I make sure I clean my hands before removing my masks. But a masks Unfortunately makes you touch you face.
I question about the COVID death rate, how many of these people would have died with their other health problems.
In the words of Biden ComeOn Man. People in their 70’ up to the 100’s. Millions of people at their age die every year.

It goes both ways. Someone with diabetes, high blood pressure, or any other ‘underlying health issue’ can live for decades if they are current on their medication(s) and treatment. A person might have an underlying health issue but would normally live a stable life for years. People are discounting how aggressive and nasty Covid-19 is. The people who are dying from Covid-19 with ’underlying health issues’ were not necessarily going to drop dead this year anyway. Covid-19 is killing people.
True, but how many 80 year olds make it into their 90’s 90’s to 100’S . Be honest most of us to live into the 90’S. Average American male 78- female 81.
Very fair reply. I don’t think we should put a label on it one way or the other. Some people were going to die because of their health issues and/or age. Others, in similar scenarios, would have lived a lot longer had they not contracted Covid-19. Blanket statements just don’t work in this situation.
Thanks Minerinciter for your efforts in keeping us all up do date. Much appreciated.
