As far as I know, Canada isn't facing the problem of running out of ventilators and ICU beds now. Healthcare equipment is overpriced, but there's a (partial) reason for it when mistakes cost lives.
Still well. Walking the puppy every day -- she likes that. In our walks, we come across a lot of "free little libraries", which are wooden book boxes people put in their yards. There's about one every other block. Most of them have have boring pop fiction, presumably outside because no one actually wants to read it, but I found one box with Terry Pratchett. Score!
Other than that, it's been a cool summer, with our June Gloom lasting far into July. It's been 30 years since we've had so much cloudy weather. I'm appreciating it -- haven't even considered putting the air conditioner back in the window, with this nice breeze coming through. Is this coronavirus related? Um, well, I guess there will be less people on the beach. Anyway, infection rate is up locally, but not too bad. Just 60 cases in my zip code in the past 2 weeks, only 71 total deaths in my county, which is roughly Iceland-sized in population. Positive test rates look like they're declining, even without another stay-at-home order.
