be *much* worse than you might think, watching some news sources. (BTW, social
media isn't a news source.) We've been hearing for months about things just now
showing up in the news, like young, healthy people getting it, recovering,
and a couple of weeks later having a stroke or heart attack & dying. Autopsies
of Covid victims finding blood clots scattered through every organ. Being unable
to intubate people because their weight prevented the ventilator from being
able to inflate their lungs.

Thanks to the folks who responded, just a few observations. I was asking if there
was any interest - no mention of a date or venue was given. My original post
was put out to see if there are any other Kolb flyers that are in and around
the NC area that may be interested in a flyin.
While I understand that we are in a pandemic and have absolute empathy for the
folks struggling with life in one form or another, my question still stands.
I bought a kolb about a year ago and love flying it, I was hoping to connect with
others in the area.
Thank you Peter
