You may be the first to test Zoom's concurrency limits in this way... but deep down, I think we all know the answer to the "chaotic" bit. :P

Re: Virtual Meetup 12 Sept (Poss)

So long as it's not at some ridiculous rediculace time like 3am, I'm in. (Currently 10 hours ahead of South Africa, will be 11 hours ahead from the last weekend of September when Daylight Savings kicks in.)

Re: SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)

Our last active case is now recovered, and given that no new cases have been reported in the past 17 days, we may well have eradicated COVID-19 entirely.

Only 8 active cases remaining in NZ. It's very likely that we're close to totally eradicating COVID-19, and in fact may have already done so.
