As a scientist with some training in epidemiology, when I first heard of the epidemic in Wuhan, I immediately thought that this was not going to be just a problem for China. Somehow though, I thought it was going to have the typical ripple effect and that it would have been weeks before we would see anything in Europe. My wife teaches English online to Chinese kids, and it was back in January, at about the time of the Chinese New Year’s celebration, when her students were staying at home for that important holiday after the stay-at-home directive was issued by the Chinese government.

I love to receive these thoughts daily.  I am trying to find the way you can bring them to your own e mail, and it isn't as easy as I thought.  Tonight we had our daughter Anita, her husband Reed, and 3 of her sons, with 2 of their wives, for dinner, and playing games after.  It was so fun!  I'm so thankful for my posterity, and they bring joy to my heart! Anita's sons, left to right:  Sam, Ben, Jake, and David.  This picture was taken in the Salt Lake City airport, as Jake returned home from his mission in Indonesia last August! David had to work tonight, but the others were here!
