Week 9 teaching online: March 2020

I can hardly bear to read the news anymore. Suddenly, somehow, living in Mongolia is one of the safest places in the entire world, at least that's how I feel at this moment in time. Mongolia was one of the very first countries to take action, early on, when more and more people were getting sicker and sicker in Wuhan.

So many places, though, I guess hoped that it would never happen within their borders. And so now, the numbers of cases and people hospitalized in places like Italy and the US are just rising and rising. Hospital space is limited and doctors and nurses and other staff are getting sick.

In Korea, one family recovered from the virus but recently became sick again.

I should post a link to that information but for now, I'm just writing this to have a bit of an outlet. (No one really reads my blog anyways, as it has been inactive for so long!)

Maybe I'll start writing a little more.

But this week is the end of Term 3, so grading takes precendence. (!)

Here's hoping Cambridge will give us some guidelines as soon as possible so we can do these mock exams with confidence.

Under the Mercy.
(Yes, gotta re-read that book by Sheldon vanAuken--I think it's called A Severe Mercy.)
