As a general comment, not targeting any individual, international and even intranational travel in the current uncontrolled SARS2 pandemic is highly inadvisable, IMHO. There may be exceptions for essential travel. I won't try to define "essential" here. This pandemic is not under control and indeed is trending further out of control. The dangers are acute.
The Omicron BA.5 variant, rising now in Australia and many places globally, is very dangerous: the most dangerous variant yet. It combines off-the-charts contagiousness with a partial reversion, at least, to the virulence (ability to damage the host) of Delta. Its immune evasion and vaccine evasion properties are the highest ever seen in any variant.
I believe that today is 6th April 2023 - that's what I read at the top of this screen.
I am a reader, not a writer. I am also a bit fuddle-headed.
But I really got lost in here today.
I have no idea what I should be looking for, or how to look.
If I am now not fit to follow your work, then so be it.
I think I have been following you since we were in Canada (1960's, possibly)and you were in USA.
Or I may have been totally confused for years. Bye!
