Problem is that those who test negative today could go out and become infected tomorrow. In order to confirm that people going back to work are free of infection .... they'd have to literally be tested every day. I have been saying that all along. Another thing that he addressed is that many believe that once infected and recovered, a person is "immune" to becoming infected again. He said that's a reasonable assumption based on the history of other viral diseases, but it has not yet been 100% proven to be the case with covid-19. If our experience with the other Covids holds true, this will mutate and we won't be totally immune but the antibodies we have will make fighting it off easier. It may become another flu. Or just another nagging seasonal cold. Except for us old guys. The answer for us is still getting the antibodies, either by surviving the disease or with a vaccine. Anything else is simply waiting until you get it. The question is not if but when. My thoughts exactly. -- Freedom Isn't Free! |

We were looking forward to it but needless to say that's off the table, perhaps forever. I'm glad we got in our windjammer cruise and transatlantic Greenland cruise when we did. Regarding the Northern Lights, be aware that it is quite rare to see the full "shimmering curtain" effect. Much more often they present as just a greenish glow in the northern sky. The spectacular pictures that you see are usually a result of someone spending half a winter above the arctic circle and experimenting with time exposures. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

I would wait until the conditions are right and fly to Fairbanks. Friend from DeKalb, IL went on a Northern lights cruise. Did not see any, but while she was gone, had the lights over northern Illinois. |

Our kids say they see them in Northern Michigan and I suggested that as a "two for the price of one" vacation but she wants to go to Iceland. As I said, I doubt we are going anywhere for at least a year because of this covid thing and that puts is in the winter of 22. I would have been 75 ;-) |
