The World Health Organization has reported 183,000 new coronavirus cases in the last 24 hours.

The in that's across the globe the United States yesterday alone had 37,000 new cases, Brazil leading the pack with 55,000 new cases, the

coronavirus is not gone.

But we are pretending like in this country. We're pretending as though it is.

We're pretending that we can get back to normal. I see clubs opening up, bars

opening up, and it's tempting, you know, if anybody knows me, been listening to me any amount of

time, you know, I love the part.

I would stay out in the streets until 3 in the morning if I wasn't trying to be a responsible

adult.

But in the midst of all these temptations of everything opening back up everything looking like it's

getting back to normal the fact that the matter is is we're still at the very

beginning we are literally at the beginning of this pandemic we are going to be

stuck with this pandemic for some time to come and yet America

is trying to act as though nothing has changed. In fact, Chicago, the state of Illinois is moving towards stage quote-unquote four of reopening, meaning

that restaurants can now allow people to dine in, bars can open up, everything

can be the movie theaters are opening everything is opening back up as if nothing has

happened and yet we see thousands of people are dying every single day.

We are on an uptick, a significant uptick because of the reopening

and we will see possibly how many people have been infected because of all of the

protests across the country.
