    French authorities allowed asymptomatic passengers to disembark a British cruise ship that had been in lockdown after docking in the French city of Bordeaux, following an outbreak of gastrointestinal illness that killed a 90-year-old passenger.

    Regional health authorities earlier said there was no reason to link the outbreak to the hantavirus cluster.

  29. Mom's physical exam is done & she is relieved things went well. The waiting room was empty before & after her appointment. Empty waiting rooms are our fave 👍
    Her GP has been good with masking up for all of her medical appointments. He's also been respectful about womens' safety needs, due to past traumatic, unprofessional experiences with her prior creepy GP. Mom also got her pneumonia shot at her appointment. She's getting her covid booster next week.

    I'm going to feed all of our roses, with the hydrated alfalfa fertilizer that I made yesterday. I'm making another bucket for our trees, shrubs & berry plants.
    I have 2 client appointments, later in the day.
