  • Happy Fourth of July! Although DHHS has not issued a full report because of the holiday, I’ve been able to gather more of the info I need for my normal update.
  • I’m happy to share that there were no new infections reported today for Salem residents.
  • Our active cases went down, as Salem residents must have been included in the list of those who are “recovered” since none of the four New Hampshire citizens who died in the 24 hours covered by this report were in Rockingham County.
  • The number of NH people who are currently hospitalized with COVID continues to go down.
  • Applications for the Self Employed Livelihood Fund (SELF) will be available starting Monday, July 6, 2020 – July 17, 2020. If you are self-employed, you may be eligible for this CARES Act grant, designed to help you recover some of your COVID-19 losses. Don’t miss out!

I hope you all had a wonderful day, and were able to find meaning in this holiday, and remember the “reason for the season,” even if this season is only one day. I shared several things that mean a lot to me, especially a story about our Old Glory and another repeat of Red Skelton’s “Pledge of Allegiance.” I missed my Dad, whose favorite holiday was the 4th, and whose favorite music was anything by the Boston Pops, but especially the 1812th Overture and anything by Sousa. (I got my love of music and the flag, and my patriotism from him.)  I missed my sisters and their families, but look forward to seeing them via Zoom tomorrow. I had a cookout (lobsta!) with my husband, daughter, and granddaughter … with masks and social distancing. (The first time I’ve seen them since this craziness started, and it sure felt good!) I finished the evening while working on this report and enjoying Keith Lockhart, the Boston Pops, and Boston’s (previously recorded) fireworks. It was a good day, culminating with relief upon seeing low numbers for NH, and stable numbers, again, for Salem. How was your day? I’d love to hear what you did today. If you let down your guard, please isolate and get tested in about 5-7 days. As we go forward, we need to remember to take care of each other, stay safe, and always, be kind.
