Not bad thanks. I’m getting work I can do from home and it’s working out well. How long have you got to go on the degree?

Should be finished early next year but they're trying to fast track us so I can go out and catch the rona

I figured you must be close to done. Good for you man. Skip the rona though, I’m hearing rumors it’s unhealthy. mofaha ┐( ˘_˘)┌ ʅ(́◡◝)ʃ,

Yeah, I was writing about containing a MERS outbreak (Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome, the last big coronavirus outbreak) last yearIt's been kinda surreal tbh, I did an ethics essay about how we prioritise a vaccine rollout, I should have written about people's right to protest in a pandemic

Wow, yes I bet it’s been surreal. And your chosen field has become hyper-relevant. What’s the next step for you? mofaha ┐( ˘_˘)┌ ʅ(́◡◝)ʃ,

Well I've just applied for a contact tracing job so I'll have to see how that goes before I plan anything else

Good luck to you man. I hope it all works out for you. As it is, I don’t suppose there’s going to be a shortage of demand for your training any time soon. mofaha ┐( ˘_˘)┌ ʅ(́◡◝)ʃ,
