Corona Virus Update 5/29

We are 82 days since our first confirmed case of Covid-19 in Connecticut. We are 9 days into our phase 1 of reopening.
Hospitalizations are down 71 to 577
Deaths are up 42 today to a total of 3,868


Tomorrow we him hold a rally hosted by our 4 L&M Locals in New London where we will take time to remember those last to Covid and rededicate ourselves top the fight for appropriate Personal Protective Equipment.

Today, the President announced we will withdraw from the World Health Organization. In the middle of a pandemic. I will leave you to form your own opinion, bu I offer this, from Senator Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn:
"I disagree with the president's decision," said Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, in a statement after the announcement. "Withdrawing U.S. membership could, among other things, interfere with clinical trials that are essential to the development of vaccines, which citizens of the United States as well as others in the world need. And withdrawing could make it harder to work with other countries to stop viruses before they get to the United States."
