I've said elsewhere that I don't think that "The Eyes" is a racist song.
Grow a sense of humor.
Relax CW I dont think you realized it but it looked kinda funny when you felt the need to make sure the reader knew that a bunch of sooner frat students were not singing the Eyes of Texas

I know you didnt mean it the way it looked Kumbaya

GA 7 day avg of new cases reported has dropped from 3800 to 2800 in two weeks, and shows a clear downtrend now.

This is good news relatively, though 2800 is still a high figure.
2,800 is very high, but the trend is good. What do you attribute the trend to? There must have been a change in behavior. Is there an observable change?

No changes around where we live at all, but folks are pretty good at wearing masks.  I see two possibilities:

1.  The news scared people back into their homes, and
2.  Some of us have some preexisting resistance to this.

Sweden is the same story, in effect, with differences.  The rise in hospitalizations was nearing max and has started down, which is good news.

I am seriously over weight on Apple now.  I mulled selling some this morning and didn't fortunately.  I think I'm going to put in stop loss orders at $450.

12% of my IRA is Apple stock.

Yes, but they are all ETFs and Costco, and cash, I'm 40% in cash equivalents.  I'm not a stock picker but I fell into Apple, I bought the first round at $95.  I also have some "laggards" obviously.  I took a hit on Crackerbarrel.

I stocked up on some travel stocks back in March. Doing pretty OK on that front, and probably do really well when this damn thing goes away.

From The Dispatch:
  • The United States confirmed 48,266 new cases of COVID-19 yesterday, with 7.3 percent of the 661,228 tests reported coming back positive. An additional 1,278 deaths were attributed to the virus on Thursday, bringing the pandemic’s American death toll to 174,248.

I suspect that with schools going back into session, even with masks and social distancing encouraged/enforced, we will see a bump in cases.

9-year-old Middletown girl dies after contracting COVID, brain inflammation
Segann March
Cincinnati Enquirer

For nearly three months, doctors at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital have been trying to figure out what is wrong with 9-year-old Dorielis Reyes.

A 9-year-old Middletown girl who fought brain inflammation, COVID-19, and body paralysis for nearly three months died Wednesday, according to the family's online fundraiser. 
Dorielis Reyes-Paula, a fourth-grade student, was diagnosed with COVID-19 on May 10 after her mother Doranny Escolastico noticed her walking strangely and dragging one foot. Doctors found brain inflammation during an MRI scan. 
She was sent home with medication and returned to the hospital on July 19 after suffering from severe headaches and having an epileptic seizure. She also lost her ability to walk.   
Dorielis continued to get sicker while doctors at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital tried to figure out what was causing the brain inflammation, speech impairment, and paralysis. 
During her stay at the hospital, she endured several biopsies, MRIs, blood tests, and treatments. At one point, the doctors tested her blood to see if cancer was causing the illness. 
For nearly three months, doctors at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital have been trying to figure out what is wrong with 9-year-old Dorielis Reyes.

Escolastico said her oxygen levels constantly fluctuated.
Middletown City Schools announced the student's passing in a Facebook post on Thursday. Dorielis was a student at Wildwood Elementary School. 
"While we wish the outcome was different, Dorielis passed away yesterday," the Facebook post read. "While the family grieves, we take comfort that our community rallied around them, lifted them up, and gave help with the medical bills. We hope the family finds peace."
In an email to families, Superintendent Marlon Styles, Jr., said: "Dorielis was so full of life" and relied on faith. 
"On the playground, she picked dandelion flowers for teachers and you often found her having conversations with the staff," the email stated. "A lover of books, Dorielis was always sneaking in extra reading time during classes, even during math."
Escolastico, a single mother of four, started a GoFundMe fundraiser to help cover bills and purchase household items for her other children. To date, the account has raised more than $19,000. The goal was $15,000. 
If your children would like to speak with a counselor, contact Wildwood Elementary at 513-420-4564.
