Go Back Go Back
Daily Live updates to residents on our in-house TV970 have become a popular way for us to stay in touch while social distancing! Today’s update featured John Burns, President and CEO; Kim Briggs, Senior A/R Coordinator; and David Curtis, Chaplain.
The following updates were shared during the live briefing on TV970.
John Burns
Globally, there are 3,276,376 cases of COVID-19, 234,000 deaths, and 1 million recoveries. Nationally, there are 1,113,437 cases of COVID-19, 64,715 deaths and 135,263 recoveries.
As of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) reports:
• 105,648 people have been tested for COVID-19, with 16,109 tests since yesterday. This is the biggest day of testing so far.
• Total positive COVID-19 cases are 16,901 with 1,055 new cases.
• 1,431 are currently hospitalized.
• 572 total deaths.
• 2,196 have recovered.
Additional staff who were tested for COVID-19 have received negative test results. We do not currently have any other staff we are concerned about. A resident went to the hospital a couple of days ago with symptoms that could have been COVID-19, but she received one negative test result, and we await results from a second test.
There will be no Live Briefing this weekend. The next briefing is Monday at 3 p.m.

David Curtis – Pastoral Care
Psalm 100
O be joyful in the LORD, all ye lands:
serve the LORD with gladness,
and come before his presence with a song.
Be ye sure that the LORD he is God;
it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise;
be thankful unto him, and speak good of his Name.
For the LORD is gracious, his mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endureth from generation to generation.
Open Unto Me
Open unto me — light for my darkness.
Open unto me — courage for my fear.
Open unto me — hope for my despair.
Open unto me — peace for my turmoil.
Open unto me — joy for my sorrow.
Open unto me — strength for my weakness.
Open unto me — wisdom for my confusion.
Open unto me — forgiveness for my sins.
Open unto me — love for my hates.
Open unto me — thy Self for my self.
Lord, Lord, open unto me!
Amen
Prayer by Howard Thurman, pastor, theologian, educator, civil rights leader, and author.
