Good morning choir mates! Rich Colombo sent me a link to one of the most beautiful, "funny" covid songs ever -- a choir remake of Billy Joel's song "For the Longest Time." At the end, I got all choked up thinking about how much I miss you all!

Dear All,
It's good to feel the pulse of your desire to sing together! Amazingly, "viral transmission via inhalation of small airborne respiratory droplets," cited in the May, 2020 paper Statement of Work: Aerosol Generation from Playing Band Instruments, Singing and Performing and Risk of Infectious Disease Transmission is still assessed by the so-called Wells-Riley model, named after my father, my Uncle Ed, and their teacher William Wells. 
This from another paper: "In the preface to his 1955 masterwork, “Airborne Contagion and Air Hygiene: An Ecological Study of Droplet Infections” published by Harvard University Press,... Wells attributes the crucial distinction between droplet nuclei (airborne inhalable dried residua of larger respiratory droplets) and germ-laden dust (non-inhalable larger respiratory droplets) to Richard L. Riley, a medical student working with him at Harvard at the time."
I am very proud of my dad and uncle, and the fact that the Wells-Riley model is still one of the ways to assess risk for airborne infection is pretty amazing. Please keep that Wells-Riley equation in mind when next you sing together!
Dick

P.S. Here's the equation, for your next moment of light party conversation:

DickP=1−exp(−pQτq)

Hi all

I’ve been thinking about trying to do this. If you don’t mind wearing a mask when we sing closer than 10’ from one another we might attempt in, say a 10-person per time group. Those of you who have been to my house know that there is plenty of room to spread around. I can provide mics and amplifiers for a few people and guitar accompaniment; it might be fun to do rounds and a cappella too if we can hear one another. 

If interested, let me know and we can make arrangements. 

Love to all.
