>>Hi Tamar,

>>I hope you are doing well. Here I am having some secluded VFP work advancing fast. But sure, in "confinement", one has time to read:

>>An article - well a research one - that conveys some relatively good news about the virus. Good news are pretty rare in this field and may, for some reasons, be easily discounted. But when they are "new" they should read as such!

>Just looked at the abstract. Certainly good if it's 1.4 as opposed to the 2% or higher that's been floated. Still, though, that's an order of magnitude more than the flu.

>>Time to read here from my locked-up Paris flat. I'd better be in our native country place with a garden to enjoy. Confinement with a garden looks like no confinement at all to those living in condos. But we are stuck. At least we are lucky to have some sunny view here. Not all are alas.

Golf courses are closed but some huge, idle, school athletic fields make good substitutes where I can at least whack some balls. I see a few fellow inmates doing the same. Ordinarily, I'd say hello and shake hands, but we stay hundreds of yards apart and a wave has to suffice.
The unattended grass is almost ankle deep in some spots, making balls hard to spot, but it beats watching TV.
