The COVID-19 situation in Europe is becoming much worse. They originally had it under some control, but lax practice has provided the opportunity for COVID-19 to come back worse than before. In my home state of Oklahoma we are the fourth worse U.S. state in regards to the situation. At least one local McDonalds has installed a foot pedal on the ground that you activate by stepping on it, to open the bathroom door so you can open the door without touching it.
Due to the effect of the pandemic on donations, Salvation Army has already started it's Christmas charity drive. They are expecting 50 percent less donations this year so I encourage you to donate to them whenever and whatever you are able. Every day Oklahoma has just under 1,000 new cases a day with approximately 80,000 total cases.

Earthquakes in Unusual Places
Two Days ago there was a 3.0 earthquake around 4:30 a.m. 35 miles north west of Ames, in northern Oklahoma. A series of many earthquakes connected to fracking, hit the state between 2009-2017. But, quakes since then have diminished in both frequency and strength.
Many people believe that the New Madrid fault line could cause another 6-7 magnitude earthquake in the Midwest like it did in the 19th century. The midwest is not prepared fore such an event and most if not all of the infrastructure in the region of the United States. It would probably be the greatest disaster that ever hit America. While it continues to release the occasional quake I don't believe it will ever be as powerful as it once was. And I doubt it will create another large quake for a long long time.

This is a picture of me wearing my Halloween mask. I wonder how we will wear our COVID masks. Over our Halloween mask?
