Total Suspected Reported Statewide: 283

44/100 counties
up from 38/100

This is a change of 95 additional cases from the last update, of cases statewide. That number was 188.

Case number discrepancies are starting to emerge as some of those suspected positive, but proven otherwise, are dropped from the count. I am using the higher numbers until the counts are otherwise adjusted.

Reported range today is from 184 to 283 cases.

and your *d*e*d*i*c*a*t*i*o*n, my friend. How are you faring today?

My county, Durham. Now 40 known cases. A year ago, Pia at Northgate Auto informed me that there were an average of 22 people a day moving into Durham per day.

I live in a place where I can build a garden outside. I'm getting as resourceful as I've ever been.

I actually just woke up. I apparently was exhausted.
I am glad you have a place where you can have a little garden. I have been reading about microgreens and am thinking about trying lentils first. There is also a company that sells kits called Hamama that I would like to try. I bit pricey but I think may be worth it. Thanks for being so sweet to me. Stay strong.
