IMPORTANT COVID RESOURCEE
White House “Report To Governors” report gives state-by-state and county-by-county weekly tracking of COVID, with trends and detailed recommendations.
Here are the charts. Scroll way down near the end to get to Washington state and Whatcom county (page 330 I think).

SKIN RASH AS EARLY COVID SYMPTOM
Data from the COVID Symptom Study shows that characteristic skin rashes and ‘COVID fingers and toes’ should be considered as key diagnostic signs of the disease, and can occur in the absence of any other symptoms. I joined this study and get regular updates. It seems both safe to do so, and useful at this time. I report daily. It takes less than a minute on an app.

I have always loved Sunnyland’s neighborhood celebration, and this year they are creating a socially-distanced event, and we are all invited.
