My mind is all over the place today. I’m trying to write about my brother whose birthday is today July 20th, but I have wandered into Ancestry.com and I’ve ended up adding many more ancestors to my family tree and also 2 new generations. A lot of nieces and nephews and their children. Interesting and time consuming.

I’m starting a new count, or rather a continuation of the count from the end of March to July 18. So here we go. The date and the total number of deaths due to COVID-19 in the U.S.

July 18, 2020. 138,840

July 19, 2020. 140,479

July 20, 2020. 140,811

July 29, 2020. 149,981
