Being a Parent Part II

COVID Update WE 6-27-2021

COVID 19 update 33,588,163 total cases, 603,501 deaths. New cases 83,227. Deaths 2,149 Amount of new cases reported has held steady at 1.79% for the last ten weeks. Mortalities were 306/ day, an increase of 68 per day last week. Overall the number has dropped to 1,111/day.

Worldwide Ranking mortalities/population, Bosnia .2925%, Brazil .2447%, Italy .2115%, Peru .2045%,(???-problem with numbers) Columbia .2066%,  England .1922%, Mexico .1857%, US .1829%, Spain .1728%, France .1690% and Sweden .1419%. I don’t see Brazil in the news. Why? Cases and deaths are exploding. They are second behind the US with 512,735. Six states, NY, NY CT, CA, MA, WA.  account for 25.189% of cases and 29% of mortalities. TX and FL respectively 16% and 15%. NJ has the most cases/population at 12%. An increase of 1% from last week. Why?

          Worldwide, things are looking up. US accounts for 18.573% of cas4es and 15.401% of mortalities. Are vaccines the reasons rates are starting to drop? Good question. If you go back and track the 1918-19 pandemic you will see the numbers started tailing off after one year and disappeared after a year and a half. During this one, 6.34% of the population died versus .1822%.  Remember, no vaccine was ever developed to defeat that one. Case wise we are way below the number of the H1N1 of 08-09, 60.8 million cases versus 33.504,936, With only 12,469 reported deaths, we dodged a bullet. But then this one wasn’t politicized like the current one.

          In regards to our Northern and Southern border, Canada and the US have agreed not to open the border until July 31, 2021, yet Biden and Harris have no problem with an open border to the South. Why is our Southern border still open?

 

Being a Parent. How do your children see you?

 Yesterday, I was honored to see my oldest son, Justin and his wife, Heather take the Herbalife stage as they advanced to the top 1% producers of this fantastic company. What I didn't expect was for him to acknowledge my presence. As parents, we usually stay in the shadows as we swell with pride on our children's accomplishments. That wasn't the case when he gave his acceptance speech and called me out. and stand in front of over a thousand people. Yes, I fought back tears. When I turned on facebook this morning, I was surprised to see there about fifteen notifications on a post I was tagged in. Wonder what it could be? Let just say, tears fell from my eyes as I read his post.

 

As a child you see your parents as superheroes. They can do anything and practically do no wrong. They are your first love and the first person God gives you to protect you. Now I know there are some that have not had or will ever know their biological parents and some have even harmed their own in terrible ways. I was blessed enough to have both my parents whom cared and loved me equally. Even had the privilege of having a step-parent whom loved me and my brother and sister equally Ben Paul thank you for showing me what it's like to love those that aren't biologically yours!

The man in this picture is my Dad Jeff Dawson, he is for sure my superman, batman, iron-man, hulking captain America. He did the absolute best he could for all of us. Owned his own company worked hard for those that worked for him and made sure we had food to eat and sports to be part of. Though his American dream wasn't probably what he imagined it to be he made it work.

When I was in 6th grade my parents had divorced and we got to live with Dad so we could stay in the same school with our friends and be part of our sports to have some normalcy to our new life. But during this school year things were not going well for the company he started. So my brother and sister by the semester would go to Kansas to live with my mom and step-dad on my grandparents farm. I wanted to stay with dad to finish up my school year with him.

I remember the night it was just he and I and we were cleaning out our rooms and that was the first time I had ever seen my dad cry. We both cried so hard and I knew it was because he felt like he failed us he was losing the house losing his kids and there wasn't anything immediate he could about it and that it was for our best interest that we leave him to be with mom. So being 12 years old and seeing your superhero breakdown was the hardest thing I could have ever seen but I'm glad that I was the one there go through that with him. For the person it made me to be and to always be looking for more than one opportunity to support my family.

I was so incredibly happy to have him there with us today to witness the applause and the cheering our Herbalife family showed us today. So the goal is to want to make your parents proud of what you have done. So I just hope what I am doing makes you proud of the person you have helped me to become.

Love you more than you can know.

 This is what it means to be a parent!

COVID 19 Update We 6-20-2021

 

COVID 19 update 33,504936 total cases, 601,352 deaths. New cases 80,777. Deaths.. Amount of new cases reported has held steady at 1.79% for the last ten weeks. Mortalities were 237, a drop of 152 per day last week. Overall the number has dropped to 1,121/day. Ranking, Bosnia .2917%, Brazil .2390%, Italy .2112%, Peru .2045%,(There’s a problem with their numbers. They reported 186,511 deaths this week compared to 66,417 last week), England .1920%, Mexico .1845%, US .1822%, Spain .1726%, France .1686% and Sweden .1415%. India had the highest new cases reported at 16,323. They are third in mortalities behind the US and Brazil. Six states, NY, NY CT, CA, MA, WA.  account for 25.208% of cases and 29% of mortalities. TX and FL respectively 16% and 15%. NY, NY account of 11% of cases to population.

          Worldwide, things are looking up. US accounts for 18.797% of cas4es and 15.575% of mortalities. Are vaccines the reasons rates are starting to drop? Good question. If you go back and track the 1918-19 pandemic you will see the numbers started tailing off after one year and disappeared after a year and a half.

          In regards to our Northern and Southern border, Canada and the US have agreed not to open the border until July 31, 2021, yet Biden and Harris have no problem with an open border to the South. Anyone that thinks there isn’t a crisis on the border is an Ostrich. They won’t admit there’s a problem until one or a group of the illegals commit a crime on their person, then they will scream bloody murder and want to know why they aren’t being protected. By then, it will be too late.

          It is time for the border states to reclaim their sovereignty from the US government and take matters into their own hands. That’s exactly what the Founding Father’s discussed in the Federalist Papers and applied to the Constitution. I am not calling for states to think about succession, only that they apply their own states constitution to protect their citizens if they so wish. If not, good luck.  

ERCOT part 4 and it isn't good

COVID Update WE 6-13-2021

 

COVID 19 update 33,429,075 total cases, 599,781 deaths. New cases 60,837. deaths 2,713. WE 5-15, According to the publication, NEWSR, if you want to call it that, I prefer to think of it as a bad rendition of MAD Magazine. At least the later was humorous. NEWSR posted on article on Monday, the 14^th how cases were spiking in Alabama, Arkansas, Hawaii, Missouri, Nevada, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Last week marked the lowest new cases reported since WE 4-19-2020! EX: TX was down 12,834. NY, CA and FL also saw dramatic drops. Why would NEWSR do this? Simple. They are part of the machine pushing the vaccine. Worldwide more good news for the US. We have dropped to 7^th in percentage of mortalities versus population. Ranking, Bosnia .2872%, Brazil .2321%, Italy .2107%, Peru .2045%,(There’s a problem with their numbers. They reported 186,511 deaths this week compared to 66,417 last week), England .1919%, Mexico .1838%, US .1809%, Spain .1722%, France .1681% and Sweden .1415%. India had the highest new cases reported at 23,625. They are third in mortalities behind the US and Brazil. Six state, NY, NY CT, CA, MA, WA.  account for 25.27% of cases and 29% of mortalities. TX and FL respectively 16% and 15%. NY, NY account of 11% of cases to population.

          Mortalities per state show a dramatic drop. 2,729 reported last week or 389 per day. This is the lowest reported since WE 6-1-2020. Talk about great news. But how is the media covering this? They can’t be happy. They are already drumming up fear for this fall. Why? Good question.
