Wed 8th April Meeting - PANDEMICS

(Because too many people were away the March meeting was postponed till 8th April)

So the 8th April topic for discussion is Pandemics.

A quick Google nets a rich load of stuff we might discuss, such as:

We don't want to get too heavy - I hope we will concentrate on the historic perspectives, and as elders, what advice U3A members could offer their own families should a pandemic threaten.
