The virus is called SARS-CoV-2.   The disease is called COVID-19.

I make no assumptions as to why you have chosen to call the virus by the 
name that you did.


It is however a name which has been connected with inflammatory and 
racist rhetoric.


Please do not use that term in this forum.

Thank you.

Would folks like virtual meetings?
BLU and Natick FOSS have had reasonable luck using JITSI (a FLOSS alternative 
to Zoom that has a privacy policy that won't make you wretch if you read it), 
we could use that.

If so, would anyone be interested in helping brainstorm who to invite / what to 
do without a speaker ?

If so, what's good for that? IRC? Email?  Slack/Mastodon/???
