I've been using it for a few years and find it really helps to keep things organized, especially in a longer work.

Yep. The quarantine thing is getting a bit old.

Good luck!

Thanks for the laugh.

They said I can't get tested since I'm not currently sick and the antibody tests are in short supply. So, I'm stuck with a 14-day self quarantine, unfortunately. Thanks for asking.

Praying.

Glad to hear your family made it back home! Thanks for the prayers.

I'm back in the USA now and trying to get the COVID-19 test since I was sick while overseas in March, starting about two weeks after a flight within the Middle East. I don't have any symptoms now, though, so it would have to be the test for antibodies, which is harder to get. I hope I had it already and am immune now.

I've heard a British passport is better than an American one in some of these cases. I only have the one, though. Praying for your family in Africa.

It looks like I will be on Thursday's flight -- thanks.

Prayers for them, as well. Better get out now -- I don't know if there will be any flights later.

Although they've closed down the airports, etc. where I am in the Middle East, they have a very limited number of repatriation flights still available. I'm trying to go back to the USA on Thursday, which could very well mean I will never return here since I was scheduled to leave in a few months anyhow. My wife (back in the USA) is hoping I make it back soon; she has been very worried. I am rushing to get everything ready so I can go soon, but my trip still needs to be approved by management (not sure yet if that will happen).

I read that, too, and hope it works. It would take quite a while to get a vaccine ready, so something that cures it (or at least alleviates the symptoms) would be great right now.

So, as coronavirus sweeps the Middle East, here are some of the precautions I've seen being taken: Border crossings and airports closed (this means no more mail/Amazon, as well as being trapped here) Roads blocked; military at city boundaries to stop travel within country Everyone is under home curfew (work done online only); workplaces closed Restaurants, churches, mosques and most stores closed Resort hotels converted into quarantine camps for pre-closure travelers and the sick A bit extreme, but it should slow the virus if everyone sticks to it. Hope everyone else is hanging in there.

Praying.
