  1. much same with us wife was modern language lecturer at nearby FE college and we hosted female Russian students twice just after iron curtain came down. Both were children of doctors and could be consider part of the \Russian elite. Even so they too were amazed at the difference in living standards etc. They both thought that conditions would improve with more freedom etc. We kept in touch for a few years but it came increasingly difficult.

    Covid x 2.

    On our QM2 Jan 22 Caribbean cruise we were tested prior to boarding and prior to Lisbon and Barbados and still people caught it. No isolation could lead to a large number infected and although as fully vaxed symptoms will be mild for most there might be someone who could be seriously ill.
