Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020 November

 November 1 2020: Day 232 of COVID-19:

Every November we do gratitude journal through all of the November. We have so much to be thankful for.

I'm so nerves... we need to vote this piece of shitbull.

COVID-19 News:

• At least 31 states set their one-day coronavirus case records in October

October was a month of grim records in the Covid-19 pandemic, and as November begins, experts say the United States hasn't seen the worst of it.

From Alaska to Maine, at least 31 states across the US reported at least one record-high day of new coronavirus cases in the past month, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Fifteen reported their highest one-day tallies of Covid-19 deaths.

The country's seven-day average of new daily cases was 78,380 Saturday -- a number that has risen 128.2% since a post-summer-surge low on September 12. With any potential vaccine still a ways off from distribution, and the colder months threatening to increase spread, experts emphasize more people need to regularly take precautions to stem the rise anytime soon.

• As cases in Europe spiral, France, Germany and Belgium have gone into partial lockdowns, with England set to follow. Italy also plans to further tighten restrictions.

 November 3 2020: Day 234 of COVID-19: Election Day!!!

Election Day. We are watching the votes coming in minutes very carefully.

COVID-19 News

• A Covid-19 surge in the US has seen the 7-day case average nearly double over the past month.

 November 4 2020: Day 235 of COVID-19:

I'm still healing from my surgery. I'm doing well and my family is taking great care of me.  One day at a time. 

Right now, the electoral map looks fairly predictable, with Trump dominating in the South and Biden the Northeast and West Coast. Trump has also picked up the major swing states of Florida and Ohio, but the key battlegrounds of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan are too close to call. So are Georgia, North Carolina and Arizona. This was an expected wrinkle, since states are having to add up absentee votes, early votes and day-of votes. While several electoral combinations could make the difference in the race, you'll want to keep your eye on those Rust Belt states. If the race remains unclear over the next day or so, things could get ugly. Early this morning, Trump attacked legitimate vote-counting efforts and said he would go all the way to the Supreme Court to get "all voting to stop." The Trump campaign has also threatened legal action to curtail counting in Pennsylvania, where the typical late start on absentee ballot tabulations could hold up the process.

• England will enter a new national lockdown from Thursday at midnight local time.
