Yes. I saw also on my news feed that Australia ( home to my 91yr old parents) is just receiving 1.5 million test kits like these today. It will make an incredible difference to the testing regime and our ability to accurately track infection when it’s being used

Good news for your parents!  And all of us, actually.  Hopefully it pans out.

Thanks. Their retirement village is in lock down in order to safeguard the nursing care residents  as well as the independent living residents.  They may die of boredom though ! 🤪.

Well, to be real, boredom starts aboveground.  The alternate really sucks. (Gravity, eh?)

 

Enjoy them while they are alive, and praise them like they deserve.  All too soon, they will be gone, unfortunately.

Same with my 87 yr old mother.  She is in independent living about 15 minutes away from me.  They are in lock down too.  Can't even eat in the dining room.  Meals are dropped off at their door.  Want to go see her but they make it nearly impossible for someone to visit.

I could have written this exact post, amazing man.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").
