Wednesday 15th July 2020...Day 147!,

We are having a spell of wonderful sunny weather and I took Boomer just down the hill to the beach whilst the tide was out and the sun not too hot!!


He loves the walk through the trees to the beach..





Of course he found a stick...





Nobody on the beach and Boomer ran and ran and ran.....




























It was a great start to the day!!


Back at home I had a huge dilemma!!!


There were two live soccer games from England being broadcasted at the same time this morning and I really wanted to watch them both...what should a guy do???


I figured it out!!!








Jen a good friend from SMA suggested a name for my new wheels and I am going to go with it....


Welcome BLAZE!!!!!





This woman is such a force in this Province doing so well fighting the virus!!





🦠🦠🦠”Wisdom from Dr. Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer for British Columbia, Canada”

Population of BC

5.1 million

3,128 cases to date
189 total deaths to date

1. We may have to live with C19 for months or years. Let's not deny it or panic. Let's not make our lives useless. Let's learn to live with this fact.

2. You can't destroy C19 viruses that have penetrated cell walls, by drinking gallons of hot water you'll just go to the bathroom more often.

3. Washing hands and maintaining a two-metre physical distance is the best method for your protection.

4. If you don't have a C19 patient at home, there's no need to disinfect the surfaces at your house.

5. Packaged cargo, gas pumps, shopping carts and ATMs do not cause infection. If you wash your hands, live your life as usual.

6. C19 is not a food infection. It is associated with drops of infection like the 'flu. There is no demonstrated risk that C19 is transmitted by food.

7. You can lose your sense of smell with a lot of allergies and viral infections. This is only a non-specific symptom of C19.

8. Once at home, you don't need to change your clothes urgently and go shower! Purity is a virtue, paranoia is not!

9. The C19 virus doesn't hang in the air for long. This is a respiratory droplet infection that requires close contact.

10. The air is clean, you can walk through the gardens and through parks (just keeping your physical protection distance).

11. It is sufficient to use normal soap against C19, not antibacterial soap. This is a virus, not a bacteria.

12. You don't have to worry about your food orders. But you can heat it all up in the microwave, if you wish.

13. The chances of bringing C19 home with your shoes is like being struck by lightning twice in a day. I've been working against viruses for 20 years — drop infections don't spread like that!

14. You can't be protected from the virus by taking vinegar, sugarcane juice and ginger! These are for immunity not a cure.

15. Wearing a mask for long periods interferes with your breathing and oxygen levels. Wear it only in crowds.

16. Wearing gloves is a bad idea; the virus can accumulate into the glove and be easily transmitted if you touch your face. Better just to wash your hands regularly.

17. Immunity is greatly weakened by always staying in a sterile environment. Even if you eat immune boosting foods, please go out of your house regularly to any park/beach. Immunity is increased by EXPOSURE TO PATHOGENS, not by sitting at home and consuming fried/ spicy/sugary food and aerated drinks.

Be smart and stay informed!

Live life sensibly and to the fullest.

Be Kind

Be Calm

and Be Safe

Stay safe and healthy!!

State of South Carolina Population

Also 5.1 million

Cases of Covid-19 Based Only on Testing

77,107 (could be more based on Dept. of Health projections)

Total deaths

984

If you remember your walk all over the peninsula of historical Charleston, that area is now considered the "hottest spot" in SC for Covid-19; tourists arrived in droves when our governor allowed businesses and hotels to open up on the peninsula with a mandate that all people wear masks and practice 6-feet distancing. Now, how in the world can you get a drunk in a bar to keep his or her mask on?

All the polls are registering double digits ahead of Trump by Joe Biden; elections in November and anxious for it to be here; Dr. Anthony Faucci from the National Institute of Health and Center for Disease Control is the only one guiding the US pandemic, but it's not without interference from the White House. Canada's Trudeau stepped back and allowed its Health Ministers to run the show which is part of Canada's success story.

Yep. Blaze is a great name for your Kicks.

Blaze is a perfect name for the new wheels!
It has been suggested that the fountain in Lost Lagoon at Stanley Park be named after Bonnie Henry...
