7. Family lives in 'that' area...

Fri Mar 6, 2020, 08:54 AM

Mar 2020

the young college student goes to a SUNY college around 30 minutes south of Seaway Valley's US/Canadian border (where we live). She drives back home quite a bit to visit family and friends down there, some of which are still in HS, and I think she was there last week/weekend. (So possibly before the teacher(s) reported to the health dept and quarantine began?)

The point I unfortunately wasn't clear making was that this is one of the ways that viruses 'jump' and spread.

Btw, if you have a link about this I'd like to read and share it with the cousins. Two of them work in medical related fields so they probably know about this but it won't hurt to give them a heads up JIC.
