This link is an account of what a guy witnessed living in Italy as the Corvid-19 virus quickly overran the country. Scrolling down he describes what has happened since the first people were infected and how quickly it spread and why. Something to keep in mind here. We have only just begun the experience. https://www.boredpanda.com/coronavirus-outbreak-stages-italy-jason-yanowitz/ -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

This is what school systems are producing today, especially the colleges and universities. Mrs. E. and I lived in Italy for almost two years back in the 70's. The older Italians had great respect for Americans back then, especially those of us in the military. More than once I was invited into the homes of complete strangers for food and drink if they saw me in uniform. Older Italian women would see an American in uniform, walk up, give a hug and a warm greeting. Times have changed. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

When I visit Europe, I sure as hell don't wear any US flags or other identifying symbols. In fact, I'm thinking of getting one of these for my cap so I'm nicely treated: https://smile.amazon.com/Canadian-Em...2 C136&sr=8-3 -- Freedom Isn't Free! |

I will spend my money in the good old USA. There is still plenty of cool stuff to see here and once you get 100 miles out of the big cities, the people are friendly. |

They visit here. I don't know enough people in Europe to be worth a day on a plane. Maybe if I had a nice private jet I might think about it. The way it is going, I might not get out of the south county again for quite a while. |
