Oh you guys, thanks so very much!!    

You are an amazing team (I think of us in this manner), and very fine people as well. 

I'm fighting many battles right now - "deep decarbonization" of the economy to fight climate change is taking a great deal of my time.  However, I review data and information on COVID-19 daily, and am pleased with how everyone on PT has been conducting themselves during this trying time. 

This is an interesting bit from one of my associates in the FBI: 

CURRENT SITUATION


Melioidosis Reference

https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/melioidosis/index.html

This bacterium is on the list of "select agents" of the US Government (bioterrorism potential), and it is a mystery why a tropical disease common in northern Australia would suddenly pop up in the USA without any common connections.  These are our select agents (below):

My FBI contact said: 

To All.....
Whenever there are unexplained,  multistate cases of a tropical endemic Select B agent ---particular when genetic analysis suggests a common ancestral source ------ bioterrorism must be priority considered until ruled out.

STAY CURIOUS on this.
