[Leica] Covid 19 results

[Don Dory]

Howard, still take good care of your family.   This has been a very rough
year for flu and this year has been especially deadly.   Rest, fluids, and
monitor the progression of symptoms:  if anyone appears to be getting worse
consult your medical community for appropriate care.  Covid19 is not the
only danger around.
