Friendly greetings in this time of novel coronavirus COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2)

Roland V, Eckhard, Liesel, Roland K, and Arne, Chris and Robin Mohr (head of FWCC), Alex Harguth (in Munich, also in law), and All,

Received some email bounce-backs from the Kruegers' email addresses. Robin M, Alex, can you by any chance help me find some email addresses/contact info for the each of the Quakers' Eckhard, Liesel, Roland and Arne Krueger in the Munich Germany area, please?

My current hypothesis and line of thinking/inquiry/writing regarding the novel coronavirus COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) developments is that is this a major fire drill on a worldwide scale in new time of bio-weapons' preparedness??? (and with some 'policing' even subtexts ... and re language like this - https://twitter.com/HankGreelyLSJU/status/1240349327844728833?s=20 - and re language like '2) even somehow reversing the global illegal sex trade (???)'  - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/03/glass-frog-cochranella-regarding-this.html)

And am reminded of the book by Raymond Briggs "When the Wind Blows" - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/489946.When_the_Wind_Blows ... which "Raymond Briggs' now famous bestselling comic cartoon book which depicts the effects of a nuclear attack on an elderly BRITISH couple in his usual humorous yet macabre way" - which the Kruegers (Eckhard) and I delighted in in 1981-1982, and with regards to the meme ('replicating cultural unit') side of the current novel coronavirus COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) 'pan'-demic / pandemic in the media, and in many of ~200 countries ('pan'-demic regarding humans being primates).

Again, Friendly greetings from the SF Bay Area!  How are you?

I'm emailing you to connect again in this time of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) (and even bio-weapons).

It was so great to talk with you, Eckhard (as a physicist with much nuclear expertise and knowledge, like my father, GKM MD, was a nuclear expert too, & regarding Three Mile Island as the secretary of Health in PA responding to this nuclear catastrophe in 1979), on the phone, (in Germany near Munich) when Fukushima occurred in 2011 a few times (where I was in the SF Bay Area).

It had been decades since we met and became friends in the Munich Quaker Meeting in 1981-1982, when I was studying at Ludwig Maximillian Universitaet in collaboration with a Reed College study abroad program for a year, after which I lived with you for 2.5 months, my living first in Studentenstadt on the English Gardens, for 10.5 months, (and then with you, Eckhard, Liesel, Roland and Arne in your home in Garching, north of Munich. And what, Eckhard, Liesel, Roland and Arne, are your Gmail addresses/similar long term emails (yahoo, hotmail, etc), and Skype contact information)? My Gmail address is sgkmacleod@gmail.com (and related sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org) and Skype is scottm100. (Roland Vogl, Eckhard, and the Kruegers - do you know each other from your Austria <> Bavaria proximity, and similar social concerns for the world? Roland is a Stanford Law Professor, and director of Stanford Law CodeX there regarding online Legal Technologies). And Mary and Chris and Robin are all Quaker heads, ('leaders' in a sense), on the west and east coasts of the USA.

Alles Gute, Scott

Thanks for posting this, @stephaniemlee. I was quite annoyed at CNN's portrayal of a scofflaw Bay Area. Outdoor activities are a legal exception to the order and, probably, on balance, quite good for people's physical & MENTAL health, if pursued safely. I've been walking. A lot.

Adam and Craig (friends from Reed College in early 1980s)!

Happy New Year 2020 - and Happy Equinox - with the New Year beginning with this Equinox (on Th 19 March) ...  A Desiderata poem focus in 2020: https://mwkworks.com/desiderata.html (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/antarctica-mcmurdo-bay-merry-christmas.html)?


Am reminded in these regards of Angela and Victor's 'Who Are We Anyway?' web page - https://angela-victor.com/content/who-are-we-anyway - and Yogini Angela's poem or teaching therein - "Who Are We: Angela?" https://angela-victor.com/angela-farmer - which also seems identity related ... (and hand written, but then digitally put on this web page). Here's Angela's poem:


Who am I
whispered the wind
as it blew through my hair?

Who am I
sang the sea
as a wave like a snake
curled over the beach

This is I
croaked the rock
but I'll be gone by tomorrow

And the sun grew hotter
as I tumbled through my breath
and fell
into darkness, into nothing . . .
into space
is this who I am?


A new breath began

(image of beach, rock and sun)

For me Yoga is a journey each day
down into my underworld
not knowing
what I shall find . . . . .

It is a 'kind of death'
to meet those places in my body
that still feel pain
that still hold fear
from long forgotten times . . .

Then with quiet and gentle acceptance of these
little parts of me, the sad or hidden parts,
the lonely or ugly parts . . .
seeds of release are planted
and the outcome is a gift
that inspires my teaching,
enriches my life (image).

I feel such joy when I see a student
finding courage to enter her or his own
inner-underworld in their own unique
way. They discover their own creativity in breath
and movement as deep places un-ravel
and the power and beauty that brings to them.

In this process, the terms "teacher' and
"student" dissolve and we enter an
awareness of
innocence and gratitude.



Appreciating here the hand written aspect of Angela's poem - https://angela-victor.com/angela-farmer ... 

How are you both? 

Warm regards, Scotty

Interesting! I hope you are doing well. Here’s an article from today’s Guardian that follows my own thinking about the subject, pretty much!

'Tip of the iceberg': is our destruction of nature responsible for Covid-19?

Likewise, and re the Guardian article's focus on Africa too, - since Africa seems to have been very under-reported on re novel coronavirus COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2). I think we're living in a time of great learning about and knowledge gains in virology, genetics, and similar. Am hoping this can emerge in a single realistic virtual earth for genetics (and everything) at the cellular and molecular levels too, at World University and School. Adam, what's you Skype, in this time of the novel corona meme?

Warm regards, Scott
