What was the biggest news story this past week -- either in your community, nationally, or globally?

The biggest news story in my life is Bermuda going from utopia to dystopia in a few weeks. We had 4 Covid cases at one time. The island has a population of 64,000 and for a while was considered one of the safest places on the planet. But, because of Covidiots gathering and mixing households and not wearing masks, our numbers are over 850 cases, 41 in the hospital, a few in intensive care and a new death just today. The government shut the island down on April 13 for a week. No one is allowed to leave their house. No businesses open ( except groceries and pharmacies-- a few other exceptions) and no one can do anything. Parks, trails and beaches closed. Museums, schools, restaurants all closed. No take out to delivery. Curfew in effect. National Guard checkpoints. (They aren't scary but they are there) The draconian rules will be lifted slightly on Tuesday I wanted to answer both: When is the last time I laughed: I do laugh. I live with a 2 1/2 year old now and she makes me laugh. My husband made me laugh the other day. I attended a Zoom comedy show a week or so ago. When my husband was here we watched comedy on Netflix. I laughed with my girlfriends on a FaceTime call. I do laugh and I highly recommend.
