Hi All, 
 That would be a good idea. From what I have learned it is a forgone conclusion that we may get it. Our best defense at this point is so called social distancing, and increased hygiene. You could allways use Jitsi for an online meeting. The medical professionals I visit in the course of my travels  are not unduly worried. It is just another version of the flu, and for most of us not critical.
