Well folks, we are in the fifth week of online-only paper viewing. Sales are not happening and donations are not coming in as well as before.
Baseball has been apparently canceled and all other sports as well. The 2020 Olympics have been pushed to next year. I just hope NFL football (this bored Street Sense sports writer and vendor’s favorite thing in the world) will be still going on.
Over 954,360 confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States with 54,049 deaths as of April 25. New York State has the most.
Homeless people are being ignored, and it is getting harder to get food, medications, and other vital assistance. Veterans Affairs pharmacies are not open. I had to spend basically all of my Social Security money on a medication I depend on and that the VA used to give me for free because they forwarded the prescription to CVS when they closed.
I hope the stimulus checks will be available soon.
