Well historically viruses have been labeled by their place of origin but I apologize, I should have referred to it as the accepted name, Covid19 and I've edited my post to reflect this.


But it is true, we've been busy since the pandemic hit the U.S. and even the world.

Mike - Thank you for reaching out personally. I'm buried at work today (I know you know the feeling), but I'll touch base soon.

Keeping it brief - I'm sure you didn't mean any ill will with your wording, was just surprised you didn't take the more widely accepted name.

Thought this was an interesting read:

Oh man. I really needed the laugh. One of them days. Thanks ClearVue
