After a short break, Governor Mark Gordon once again took to the podium to continue to keep Wyomingites informed of the current COVID situation. Currently there are 866 positive cases of Corona in Wyoming 106 of those cases coming up in the last week. This is double the amount of cases that were confirmed in the first week of June, and while there are 852 cases of recovering or recovered cases Gordon is concerned that we are seeing a rising trend. “What that means is that sadly, we are trending higher with the 232 active cases.

It seems like every summer I end up writing an article about living in the country. Believe it or not, it's not the same as living in the city, or even a small town. In fact, most people who move to the country cite not wanting to live under the restrictions of being in a city as their primary reason for moving to the country. That is a good reason, but I can think of several more. This article is really for those living outside of a town, where the neighbors aren't so close. Look at the stars....
There are many different perspectives on COVID-19 quarantine. This experience is different for everyone, some worse than others.
