Coronavirus Update - October 2020

 Well, we have surpassed 200,000 deaths from the coronavirus. It doesn’t look like it is slowing down anytime soon. 

In spite of that, Palm Beach County has jumped to phase three of opening, so most businesses are open. We still have to wear masks everywhere. Th good thing about phase three for me is that the farmers markets and art shows can take place, so I can start applying to some markets. 

With the virus, some new words are becoming commonplace. 

-social distancing - staying 6 feet away from other people

-bubble - a group of people who are sequestered together and don’t come in contact with other people

-PPE - personal protective equipment, not new, but more common

-long hauler - someone who’s virus lasts for a very long time, sometimes months

-super spreader - an event that causes a large virus outbreak

Can you think of any other new words or phrases we’ve begun using since the virus?

School has started. Some people are doing virtual school (distance learning) and some people are doing in-person school. It is a mixture of both in the same class. For the virtual students, there is just a camera in the classroom and they follow along with the rest of the class. 

The unemployment rate is down to 7.9%, mostly from people going back to their jobs. Still not a good rate, but better than what it was. 

Halloween is pretty much cancelled, since kids can’t go door-to-door trick or treating. 

The president of the USA got covid-19 and was in the hospital for a few days. He seems to be better and is back in the White House now. We have an election for a new president in just a few weeks. Whether he gets re-elected or not will probably hinge on how people feel about his handling of the virus.

Can’t think of any other news for now.
