Coronavirus update: As of today there have been 19,484 Iowans that have officially tested positive for the virus, including 533 deaths. Back when I last blogged on 4-18-20, those numbers were 2,513 positive cases and 74 deaths. As a nation, there has now been over 1.8 million positive cases and 106 thousand deaths.
If you could believe it, that is not what has had this nation in distress over the last few days. There have been widespread riots in almost every major city in the country for a few days now following the murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minnesota police officers. It's tragic how racist people in this country are and how evil police brutality can be. The riots have been terrible as well, with immense property damage and additional loss of life / injuries.
To focus on the more happy news, we did have a good weekend at home with the boys. Friday night I camped out with the boys in our tent in the back yard. Today we ordered Hickory Park takeout for lunch, and then the whole family went for a walk around campus. It was a very nice day to be outside.
