I receive Tim Shell's report from China.  The girls are fine as everyone else.  It is shocking how many people use the bottles of hand cleaner which kills 99.99% of all "germs".  Same with the wipes which states on the container "Hazards to humans and animals".

Reminds me of a visit to Tim Shell some years ago, a young Mennonite
farmer who was working on development of an experimental hybrid for
pastured broiler production. After lunch, we walked out over his place
to look at his operation, which included a big pen with nipple waterers
the chickens drank from. I suddenly noticed--it gave me quite a
jolt--that his two little girls, who had tagged along, were drinking
eagerly from the nipple waterers. In the middle of a heavily populated
chicken yard!

But then I noticed that Daddy was seeing the girls thus engaged, and he
didn't seem the least concerned. And the realization came to me, "Well,
duh, obviously these children have immune systems able to kick butt to
anything coming down the pike!"
