COVID-19 Update June 10

COVID-19 Update June 10

On March 2, NH had its first case of COVID-19. Today is Day 100.
Here’s where we are now:

  • Salem Total: 267 confirmed cases, 1 out of every 112 residents have been infected.
  • Salem Today: 2 new cases. 77 active cases.

****** TODAY’S SPOTLIGHT ******

  • Globally: 7,444,550 cases; 418,123 deaths
  • US: 2,065,493 confirmed cases; 115,126 deaths.
  • 2 more Salem residents were diagnosed today, breaking a nice run of days without any new cases
  • Derry now has less than 50 active cases, leaving only five communities that currently have more than 50 active cases: Manchester (328), Bedford (119), Goffstown (101), Nashua (90) and Salem (77). Only six towns have 20-49 active cases.
  • 19 states have a rise in new cases over the past week, including Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, amongst the first to reopen.
  • Another 84 people were reported as recovered today, helping to bring the number of current cases to 1,292 people who are still in quarantine/isolation. That number has not been this low since well before May 11.  On May 20, the number of active cases was 2,290.
  • 500 Granite Staters have now been hospitalized from COVID-19.
  • COVID hospitalizations are up in at least a dozen states since Memorial Day Weekend.
  • Over 300 residents of NH have died from COVID-related issues. That’s 6% of all confirmed cases of the disease.
  • A leading expert from Harvard University has predicted that another 100,000 Americans may die by September. My math: Through the end of August is 82 days /100,000 =1,220 deaths per day. Since May 26, when Americans reached 100,000 deaths, the daily average is 958 deaths. At that rate, it will be 104 days before we reach 100,000.  That’s September 22.
  • Yesterday DHHS announced 53 new cases. When I subtracted the number of cumulative cases for the previous day from that day, we matched. Today they announced 54 new cases, but when I do that math, I come up with 46. I would like to know how they can be off by 15%???

These are challenging times. What are you doing for yourself? YOU need to take care of YOU!

Today was a great day for me. Since she was quite little, my granddaughter and I have had tea parties. We dress up, don tiaras, drag out my Mom’s good china, and we talk and visit while eating cookies and raw veggies and fruit.  It’s one thing we’ve both missed. Today, to celebrate the beginning of her summer vacation, I dropped off a teapot, snacks, and a tiara at her home, and then went home so we could have a virtual tea party. It was what I needed.

Find a way to do something that will make YOU feel good. It doesn’t have to be a tea party – you do you.  Just be smart, stay safe, and always, be kind.
