Test on the subway

It seemed like a good idea, to spread a benign bacterium on the New York subway to see where it went in the event of an attack. Then some plague bacteria went missing... Who is carrying them? (Wonder what gave me the idea?)

I don't really travel except locally in my car, but next week I begin moving to my new apartment. The next two weeks are going to be a bit stressful and don't want to have to worry about getting sick. I'm in the age group that's at a higher risk and have preexisting conditions. Thankfuly move isn't far from my current apartment.

Stay safe in your travels!

Yes, keep safe. Good luck with the move; I'm sure it'll be a relief when you're installed.
We are also in risk categories - my husband is 84 and I've had lung disease. I get a flu jab every year but it knocks me out if I ever get it. The vaccination doesn't always work. However, the facts are that of those in risk categories that catch Corvid-19, over 90% survive. Quite reassuring.

A 90% survival rate is good news! Post some pictures of your travels!

I'm flattered by the suggestion. I'll see what I can do but I doubt if there'd be much to interest anyone. We're visiting old haunts in Bristol (very briefly) and Oxford, which everyone has seen photos of. If we get the bus to visit relatives in Thame (pron. Tame), a very pretty town near Oxford with every style of architecture from medieval to modern, I might manage a photo or two.

It's always interesting to see photos of where people have been. Those of us who aren't able to travel appreciate the view. "D
