I keep hoping to see the numbers of new cases consistently below 100. 😔 I don’t think we’ve had more than one day under 100, correct? In my mind our everyday restrictions won’t lift until that number is consistently under 100 (but I have NO basis for that, it’s just a hunch!)

It feels like the 70’s again with long hair the in thing, unfortunately many of have lot less hair now than back then.

Salons and barber shops will be of the last services to reopen, so in my house we’re doing some creative things with our manes! My husband, however, is caving to his hair frustrations and allowing our tween to cut it down today…heaven help us all.

  WSB ~ have you received any info from the City why WS Farmers Market can’t re-open?
  
  I searched and did not find an “asked and answered” post same as my question. Apologies if I missed it.

    No explanation from either the city or Farmers’ Market management so far.

are we to think that there are over 5000 people out there right now with covid or is there a chance we could get and up date on how many of those 5000 have recovered? maybe some positive news might ease some mines

I don’t believe we have state or local total of “recovered” but you can compare the current hospitalization #’s…

Thanks to SDOT or whoever worked on the 35th sw and Roxbury light. Today, Sunday it was working well. My mom worked in the city traffic engineering department for over 35 years. She loved working there and would be very mad at me if I only leveled criticism. BTW, I don’t recall ever seeing her ride a bike and she disliked riding the bus, sorry Jort and crew.

Sorry, comment time is over.
