More info on source of COVID-19?
Interesting article on the source of the COVID-19 virus. USA may have been part of the problem. Sure would be unsurprising if it was developed in a lab and accidentally got released from a lab in China. Paul

Saturday Night Net Results
#simplex-results
Simply astounding Simplexton net last night! Also, we now have 100 Simplextons on our groups.io mailing list; I didn't see that coming five years ago!!
If you were there, you noticed the change in format to the "lightning round" of check-ins, first taking check-ins with little-to-no comment. That fast method of check-ins brought in 38 Simplextons on the air on 2 meters, a new record for a MJSS Net!! Congrats!! See/Hear the net here. We trudged on to the 2m USB net on 144.240 and drug in another 12 check-ins!! Kudos again! The answer for Hams to the problem of social distancing, isolation in your home, anxiety about getting the virus infection is: GET ON THE AIR and talk with other Hams, whether local or internationally. Find a new friend, as there are lots of like-minded folks out there, as the whole World is going through this isolation issue. Keep up the good "work" in Amateur Radio! -- Hope to hear you on the air!! Paul K4PEW Mt. Juliet
