I have received so many kind emails and notes asking me how I am holding up. I imagine that everyone is pretty much struggling with all of the park closures and recent changes that have been forced on us because of this Coronavirus. My friend and co-leader, Paul McKenzie who lives in Hong Kong right near Wuhan where the virus originated. said “The virus is completely under control here with only 0-4 new cases each day and all of these are travelers from the UK and US. All are tested at the airport and all arrivals have to go straight to quarantine or hospital. There is now zero transmissions in the local community. Basically night and day vs the US”. That gives me hope that we will reach that point soon. Until then we need to hang in there and be strong one day at a time.
I am attaching a few images below to hopefully brighten your day.
