Just sitting here drinking a lemon drop martini when I realized it was not quite 5 PM yet. See what corona virus can do to you. BYW, one of the earliest discoveries of a corona virus happened in 1949. The little buggers have been around for a while. |

Last night at dinner my wife and I were talking about how people returning to Australia have to go into immediate quarantine for 14 days in specially prepared hotels. I suggested they should be sent to the old Quarantine Station at Sydney's North Head. Lo and behold, this article appeared this afternoon. https://www.traveller.com.au/hotels-and ... ges-h1mxj2 Here is my blog entry when we visited the station in 2016. A lemon martini would go down quite well sitting in quarantine looking out at the harbour. A cold beer or glass of wine would also be pretty good. http://ratbagp.blogspot.com/2016/09/the-quarantine-station.html Homemade masks are being made for my infusions next week. There is still debate whether I should enter the infusion center with a paper bag over my head in addition to the mask. ray |

Good idea on the hotel for quarantine. I also heard that indigenous Australians are especially susceptible to the virus. |

Here is an interesting article about the virus and indigenous communities. It suggests that pre-existing issues such as diabetes and renal failure contribute to the problem. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-51971891 I have a couple of doctor friends who I met in India a few years ago. They mostly practice in remote indigenous communities and it's quite different from regular hospitals and cities. ray |
