Covid Comes

Dear Steady subscribers,

This note will not be long, for what I hope are understandable reasons. But we share our ups and downs here in this community, and in that spirit I wanted to let you all know that I have unfortunately just tested positive for COVID. 

I am completely up to date on all of my recommended vaccine shots and boosters. And I am deeply thankful for the scientists and medical professionals who have made this fearsome disease less dangerous since its inception. 

I am also fully aware that at my age and stage in life, this diagnosis is not to be taken lightly. As of the writing of this note, my symptoms are relatively mild. 

I hope you all will bear with us at Steady as we balance our desire to communicate with all of you with my own health needs. My stalwart collaborator Elliot Kirschner and I are in close contact and will navigate the days ahead. I know these are important news times, and I want nothing more than to be at my post. I also understand the importance of rest and recuperation. 

So there you have it. That’s the news, as we used to say. 

To all those who haven’t gotten the boosters, I encourage you to do so. 

Best wishes to you all, 

Dan
