March has indeed been "mad!"
Everything seems to be rushing along, converging in what might be a pandemic - but it's tough to get a straight story.
Interestingly enough, social media hasn't had as much as I have been expecting. And all the news seems to be various versions of the same story.
But novel coronavirus - called Covid 19 - has struck - first in China, then South Korea, and Japan, and now the entire country of Italy is on lockdown!! The US has many fewer cases, but it does have cases.
I have tickets to fly to Utah at the end of the month for Ara and Ellen's bridal shower - and the CDC is saying that "elderly" people - defined by them as persons over 60 - should not be flying on crowded planes - especially for long flights.
We also are scheduled to fly to Paris on April 10th - and then to fly back on April 24th with Hannah and her children to be there for Ara's wedding - which is May 2nd.
But what if someone on your flight turns out to get sick - and then your entire planeload of passengers is quarantined?
Maybe it will be a pandemic by then and no one can go out and do anything like get married!
It is madness!!
