Wednesday: walk, phone convo with K.

I had a great phone conversation with K. this evening.

I had a walk with M.

The rest of the family had a piano lesson with F. I ordered R. the next book in his Alfred series (ebook and pbook).

A.’s morning Zoom meeting had a scavenger hunt. The teacher warned me ahead of time and gave me the list of items so I was not surprised, we were not frustrated and there were no meltdowns. Yay, team!

The Lego Treehouse arrived!

ETA: R. is particularly interested in Biobot’s work with WBE. Here is an update:

Roughly, they are surprised at just how much of it they are finding. More evidence of greater prevalence than testing would lead one to expect!

Nice survey at Quartz focusing on a country with a lot of experience tracking a serious disease with WBE:
