There is a theory floating around Europe and looks like there might be something to it. Most of the Eastern block countries had a mandatory TB vaccine for everyone that lasted a couple of generations and for some reason the Covid mortality rate seems to be a little lower in those countries. Now this could be some "foil hat" theory but my friends in Europe are calming that it seems too easy to be just a coincidence. Then again, there are a lot of claims floating around these days.

Suppose to be a gorgeous day tomorrow. Anybody want to have coffee in the morning at the usual spot, Dundas and 403? We will be practicing social distancing.

Going to hold off on restarting the Saturday morning GTGs for a bit longer. Too many things are reopening in the next few days and there may be a surge of people acting prematurely like everything is under control. Plus the optics of a bunch of guys with their expensive toys gathering in a parking lot (social distancing or not) is not great at the moment.
