     Well I will try to be on Jitsi Meet tomorrow between
  11 AM and 1 PM Pacific Daylight Time.
But I would rather not be singing that song if you do
not mind.  If I forget my passwords I will have more
to worry about than system recovery.

     Now I mentioned the meeting at several junctures
previously and got no response to the matters I raised.
     I am fairly sure two or more others will show up,
after all you will be safe behind your keyboards and
at very low risk of spreading viruses.

     Have you had your Influenza shots?
     I notice a lot of folks who think a mask on the
wrist or the chin protecting their beards, is how to
wear it.  The point is that in Australia where people
wore their masks they ended up with almost no
Influenza season casualties.   Here I doubt we are
going to get off lightly as the wrist and the chin
are not implicated in the spread of either the
Influenza or of Covid-19.
