At least there will be by the time we get to the end of it there will be 366 days by the end of this year. Divide by two to find the Halfway Point. Thats 183 days.

Honestly, 2020 would have been a catastrophic year in the news if it had stopped three months ago. But we have made it halfway through. They cannot make us do that again. And it is astonishing that this first half of this year alone, more than 128,000 of our fellow americans did not make it to see this point because of the coronavirus. And there will be more to come.
