With the release of people from the Lackland quarantine facility, and the declaration of a public health emergency by the mayor, we have been advised not to go. I think it is way, way overreaction, but I cannot really afford to be quarantined for two weeks unnecessarily, so I am not going.

I still have plans to attend the wedding of the daughter of a couple that are very close friends, in Bromsgrove, UK, in June. By then I think this will likely be ancient history, although one concern I have is that it may go dormant with warmer weather, and come back next autumn and winter.

I don't blame ya at all....I would do the same as well...it's not worth the hassle...

and to the point of going dormant, it should reemerge just in time when the polls open in Nov....
