Philadelphia announces new “Safer at Home” restrictions to fight rising COVID-19 cases | Department of Commerce | City of Philadelphia

As Philadelphia Health Commissioner Dr. Tom Farley says, “We may be tired of COVID, but COVID’s not tired of us.” In response to rising COVID-19 cases in Philadelphia, the City and Department of Public Health have announced changes to restrictions on businesses, events and gatherings, and other activities to help flatten the epidemic curve, prevent hospitals from becoming overwhelmed, and reduce the number of COVID-19 deaths. The new “Safer at Home” restrictions are effective November 20, 2020 through January 1, 2021. An extension of these restrictions and/or the implementation of additional restrictions is possible depending on trends in the spread of coronavirus in the city.  Businesses with questions about how to comply with the new restrictions should contact the Department of Commerce’s Office of Business Services at business@phila.gov or 215-683-2100.

COVID-19 In Pennsylvania: Experts Warn They Can’t Control The Virus’ Spread If People Don’t Answer Contact Tracing Questions – CBS Pittsburgh

For the second day in a row, Allegheny County hit 500 new coronavirus cases. This high case number is overwhelming the contact tracers as they try to pinpoint the hot zones. “At this point, I would say the whole United States is a hot zone; 180,000 new cases a day, it’s everywhere,” said Dr. Tariq Cheema. Dr. Cheema is on the front lines when it comes to COVID-19 patients at Allegheny General Hospital. “There are some people who have been trying their best to do the right thing and they still get COVID. Those are the types of folks who have the anger: ‘why did I get it?’ The disappointment one is maybe someone who maybe dropped the ball once, they weren’t as careful as they should have been, they went to a restaurant once and got COVID,” Dr. Cheema said. The biggest problem across the board is the guilt. “It’s a real thing, COVID guilt. People test positive, they’re concerned about their loved ones and there’s a sense of guilt they may have done something or been at a party or in a public space and contracted the disease and may have transmitted it to a loved one,” Dr. Cheema said. It’s an issue contact tracers are running into as people are fearful of sharing the whole truth

California scales back reopening amid new COVID surge – Los Angeles Times

Once the changes go into effect Tuesday, 94% of Californians — roughly 37 million people — will live in counties that are in the strictest tier of the state’s reopening roadmap. Many businesses in those counties will have to suspend or severely limit their indoor operations. The move came as California recorded 13,412 new cases Monday, according to The Times’ coronavirus tracker. That is the highest daily total since the pandemic began and a sign of how quickly the coronavirus is spreading. “We are seeing community spread broadly now throughout the state of California,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said. Source: California scales back reopening amid new COVID surge – Los Angeles Times

Ljumma nätter mitt i november, på rygg i trappen, semester behov

In mid-November and the temperature is 10 plus degrees at a quarter to 2 at night when I go to work! so there are no winter feelings in the body and maybe it’s nice when you have an outside job that I have. But a little winter and snow it is cozy with but feels like it is usually all or nothing we have winter when it lifts down snow in quantities or like last winter as it was absolutely nothing! so it’s good that you have no ambitions as a Vasaloppet skier, But it can get a little colder and drier air this humid air we have now gives me shortness of breath such as, asthmatics I am.

Mitt i November och temperaturen är 10 plusgrader klockan kvart i 2 på natten när jag tar mig till jobbet! så det är inga vinterkänslor i kroppen och kanske är det skönt det när man har ett ute jobb som jag har. Men lite vinter och snö är det mysigt med men känns som det oftast är allt eller inget vi har vinter när det häver ner snö i mängder eller som förra vintern som det var absolut inget! så det är väl bra att man inte har några ambitioner som vasalopps åkare, Men det får gärna bli lite kallare och torrare luft denna fuktiga luft vi har nu ger mig andnöd såsom, astmatiker jag är.

Tiden den springer fram och vi går mot juletider och kanske handlarna är nervösa över julhandeln i år! men det borde vara ett gott hjälp på vägen att lindra all köp hysteri till alla…

The Fall

Unlocking The Hidden Me

#poetry #autumn

Touch an autumn leaf fallen from a tree

Scattered everywhere like a debris

Mostly rough, they are crisp and brittle

Fading away little by little

From green to red to orange hues

They lose their moisture and livelihood dues

They are destined to fall

For the tree to stand tall

Autumn leaves, we all are

Living in this world to be a star

Our life changes colors and shades

We gather love, valuables, criticisms and accolades

Not knowing how far we would go

When will life change its flow

Nescient of the irony of fate

We indulge in jealousy and hate

Lost in this world as if we would never depart

We do forget the tree has got to do its part

Autumn will surely arrive

And water will be deprived

Taking back all the essence from the leaf

And then we falter in disbelief

The tree…

A flor de piel, siento…

I feel the intelligence of those who do not have to say that they are, the more they act demonstrating it; I feel the kindness of someone who is like this by nature, because whoever is like that doesn’t have to think before acting, it springs up; I feel the empathy that whoever knows how to be, deserves to have it; I feel the respect of those who know how to give it, those who know respect, deserve to be respected; I feel the tenderness for the one who provokes it, the one who gives tenderness wins the affection, and I feel, feel, feel …

Siento como una hermosa lectura puede tocar mi corazón, provocarme sensaciones, en las que percibo los sentimientos tras las palabras, a veces hasta erizarme la piel; siento como una pintura puede hacerme percibir la intensidad con la que cada pincelada fue acariciada y hasta seducida por el artista tras el pincel, su visión al mezclar los colores; siento como cada nota de una melodía perfectamente interpretada me emociona, la entrega de los corazones que tocan cada instrumento, en total armonía; siento como los bailarines del ballet, perfectamente coordinados danzan al compás de la música, percibiendo como se entregan en cada plié y relevé dejando el latido de sus corazones plasmados en el escenario; siento en cada bocado como cada ingrediente de la magia que ejecutan los artistas de la cocina fue mezclado con tal dedicación que se convierte en una devoción; siento como en las fotografías se pueden plasmar tantas…

A EXPOSIÇÃO ESTÁ ESTENDIDA – “Pas de Cartier!” – Os Yanomami e as árvores – Mineração de ouro e ouro de luxo / COVID-19 disseminada pelos garimpeiros … estendida até 7 de fevereiro 2021 | Barbara Crane Navarro

Shamans from the upper Orinoco region in the Amazon, Venezuela, described to me – oru a wakëxi – the golden smoke in those terms decades before I read David’s words. While dreaming in my hammock in the Yanomami shabono, I saw the totemic sculpture that I would make later on my return to Paris. In another dream, I saw my sculpture burn. I had planned to burn a sculpture publicly in 2003, but I couldn’t find a place to burn one until 2005. I burned seven since: http://www.barbaranavarro.com These fire sculptures symbolize the degradation of nature and the annihilation of indigenous cultures that depend on the forest for their survival.
