Hi everyone. Today, the Schloss-Blog is dedicatied to the losses we have suffered across this country. I don't have the names of all those who have passed because of the virus, but we probably all know someone who has it, who had it, who passed from it. And we have not hit apex yet. We don't know if they'll be a second wave. The president only cares about people going back to work, no matter how many more get sick. Again.
If you've lost a loved one, a close friend, or know someone who has, just saying I'm sorry isn't enough. Our federal government has to act with more assertion and affirmation.
And today being Easter, and still amidst Passover, stay healthy, stay safe, stay smart, stay home.

These numbers are 48 hours old. The grand total is over 500,000 now and the death total is right at 20,000. It is generally underreported so the number infected and dead are likely much higher (not lower, Fox News). If we go back to work too soon, we'll have another wave. If we do not have it 100 percent contained by fall, we'll have another wave.
Trump wants you back to work. I want you safe.
God bless and good night Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you Mrs,. Robinson. My radio show is on a two-week hiatus. Talk to you on air in May.
