To: andrewburd@cuhk.edu.hk Subject: God bless you I read your interview in BBC and it really touched me. Tonite I had been feeling sorry for myself and my country (I'm an American) because we've gotten ourselves into such a mess in the mideast. Your interview reminded me that the real fight is against nature itself. Good luck to you, take care of yourself. May all your colleagues recover. You have my thoughts even in this trying time, when these obscene distractions try to pull my attention from your very human story. Jeff Allen Redwood City, CA, USA
If you feel like it, please send him a note too.
Update from May 2020: Andrew Burd is still in Hong Kong, and still writing, about a different pandemic.
