Now Over 5 Million Cases of COVID-19

We like to have milestones to mark certain occasions in life. Birthdays, 16--you can drive; 18--you can vote; 21--you can drink (legally); 25--you can rent your own car; 27--you have to have your own health insurance; 40--you are getting older; 50--you are older; 55--AARP starts coming in the mail; 66 (or your prorated age)--you can retire and collect social security (depending on if it will exist in the future).

Baseball pitchers have wins, losses, and strikeouts. Quarterbacks have touchdown passes and interceptions, etc.

For the United States we now have five (5) million cases of the coronavirus--IT IS A WORLD RECORD!!  That we should not be celebrating.

There was this tally in the Washington Post on Sunday, "The virus first appeared on U.S. soil in mid-January. On April 28, the country tallied its millionth case. The United States reached 2 million cases on June 11, 3 million on July 8 and 4 million on July 23, according to tracking by The Washington Post. [August 9th--5M].  Increased testing?  Yes, that and the spread of the disease.

Not a record any nation wants to have, something like "Most fumbles by a quarterback."  For the record, that title is held by Brett Favre a Green Bay Packer player.  I grew up a Bears fan...too baaaad Brett!
