It was really lovely to receive your email. Thank you. We really appreciate your concern and your help by sending us the information about protecting ourselves from COVID-19.

We are both well thank you. We are mostly staying at home as advised by our Government. We don't have full lock down but most people are staying at home unless they are still working or they have to go out to do essential things like food shopping, visiting the pharmacy or Doctor. We are still allowed to go out to exercise but all gyms are closed and most parks and beaches are now closed. Everybody 70 years and over and anyone with a chronic health condition are advised to self-isolate at home the majority of the time. 

We are following China's example. Many people are getting fines for not social distancing. The strict rules seem to be working. We will wait and see.

We hope you, your family and colleagues are well. We hope that it won't be too long before we can visit China again.

Best regards from Anne and Louis.

Thank you for your kind considerations. We are all healthy without any corona symptoms.

Once again, thank you so much for organizing such a wonderful China tour for us. Everything was perfect: The guides, the hotels, the meals, just everything.

And thank you for the useful coronavirus prevention handbook.

I hope everything is fine for you and your family, as well.

Best regards,

Magnus

It was good to hear from you and see the recommendations that your experiences in China have yielded for handling the current Covid-19 pandemic. Patti and I are well and have been staying at home during the past 3 weeks. Our State government has had "stay-at-home" orders during that time. I went out yesterday to buy our week's food and wore face mask & gloves as is recommended by our Government now. I have not been able to work since dentistry has been deemed non-essential so no paycheck, but we are well. 

Stay well.

Great to hear from you!

We have some diving and a cruise planned the last week of April to first week of May to Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire in the Caribbean which we hope is not cancelled. We are now completing a two week ski vacation in the local mountains, and we have gotten a good work out.  Just a couple days left and we'll consider winter over.  So far, so good here...we hope to be healthy and strong when the virus visits us.  It is not smallpox, polio, or ebola but some challenge is presented. You know best about that...how is it affecting people you know? Panic is never productive, but, challenges must be faced, especially when unavoidable. I would be interested in how you and your friends are coping with coronavirus, perhaps I can learn from you. One thing I really like about Chinese culture and society is their interest in learning from others, which I hope to do the same with you.

Remember, our house is your house if you ever come to the USA. We are booked this year as we have another two week dive vacation planned at St Kitts in the Caribbean in November. Hope to show my wife some Wudang Tai Chi next time I visit, and my son is interested in Tibet, especially Mt Everest.

Everything in God's timing, and we are always blessed to hear from you.
