America surpassed 8 million cases of the novel coronavirus on Friday, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. The grim milestone that puts the US ahead of every other country in terms of total cases. Over 218,000 coronavirus deaths have been reported in the US as well, again setting a record that represents about 20% of total deaths worldwide. 

 

COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus, has rapidly spread across the globe, infecting nearly 40 million and killing over 1.1 million. Beside the US, India has the highest number of cases, at almost 7.4 million, while some countries like New Zealand have all but eliminated COVID-19 with the number of active infections now at zero.

 

Experts expect an end to the pandemic will begin once vaccines that prevent against the coronavirus become widely available sometime in 2021. 

 

Here's a list of all the symptoms of COVID-19, according to the CDC, as well as a list of places to buy the most popular face masks on sale now.

FYI, a spokesperson for a distributor being interviewed this morning on a news broadcast mentioned that their company is having difficulty once again getting toilet paper, kleenex, and cleaners from manufacturers.  When inquiries were made, the manufacturers told the distributor that many products would not be available until 2021 with some not available until the 2nd quarter of 2021.  So, I checked the inventory for Sam's Club regarding my preferred products (in those categories) and NONE are currently available within 150 miles.  Clearly, now is the time to stock up on your preferred products if you come across them.
