covid 19

Doing well here in northeast Louisiana.  All but two of our cases are in the New Orleans part of the state.  There are two cases in the northwest corner.  No cases (yet) in northeast Louisiana.

Louisiana is now in the top ten states with the covid 19 virus.  The number of parishes (counties to the rest of you) with infections doubled overnight.  It’s gradually getting closer to my part of the state.

With the last issue of the Observer asking to send in the Reunion registration form? I believe it’s to early at this time to commit at this time, because of the Covid 19 world wide outbreak! We should wait the end of at the earliest!

The purpose of registering at this time, without knowing more about the situation, was to gauge the amount of interest in the Billings reunion. If there are very few registrations by the end of April, the decision to cancel the reunion might be more likely. On the other hand, if there are 50 or 60 registrations by the end of April, not canceling the reunion becomes more probable.

That makes sense to me.

How many do far?

How many what? Registrations? If that’s your question, I suggest you contact the Reunion Director directly. I don’t believe he frequents the forums here.

I don’t know about other members; but all  you hear/listen  to is  BLAME SOMEONE!!! BLAME THIS GROUP!!!!!.  for the virus. The virus is not “political”; it’s real everyday living!!! Stay safe; do what the medical community want you to do. We will survive like we’ve done in the past with disasters.

Very well stated! Maybe the Reunion should wait till next year to be Safe?

The Board will be convening in the next week or so to debate this question and reach a decision whether to move forward with the reunion or cancel altogether.

My personal opinion is, given the new federal guidelines about reaching Phase III in Billings, MT, that should not be difficult to attain by September. Individual members will have to decide if they want to travel at that time – assuming that travel is permitted from the member’s location.
