Corona Virus Update
Dear reader and friend,
Our most recent issue, which follows after these two pages, was printed just prior to closures and cancelations of events throughout the country.
We have received reports of disturbances in postal distribution and rather than wait for the next issue we wanted to update you soonest; both on some enlightening work by Swedish researchers and of course, to remind you how important it is to contact an event organizer prior to any specific event. Most of the listings you find under EVENTS have been postponed or canceled.
Special added content: Why societies shut down - interview with Professor Tom Britton at Stockholm University. How many will be infected? When will it peak? What can we do to prevent getting sick and reducing the spread of the virus? / Coronavirus Research in Europe.
NORDSTJERNAN hasn’t missed a beat since 1872, always holding together our community through good times and bad, through war and peace, recessions, a depression and political change. And we will continue to serve you with a printed copy in the mail. This email is just an extra effort to offer an important update.
Following this page is the digital version of NORDSTJERNAN No. 5 (April 01, 2020)
If you have friends or family you would like to share this news with, just forward the link—knowledge is power, especially now when the actions of so few can influence the many.
Please be safe and stay healthy
Ulf Barslund Martensson

The Editor & Publisher
Inte som andra bloggar.... this entry will be sometimes in Swedish, sometimes 'på svenska' - Just så händelsrikt är livet som utgivare av Amerikas äldsta och numera enda Svenska tidskrift.
Här ovan poserar jag “on location” kl 6 på morgonen i Minneapolis St. Paul för två år sedan. Henrik Olund tog bilden som förberedelse för en porträttbild av Vice President Walter Mondale. (Det var en bra intervju med en bra person) Jag skriver sällan med byline i Nordstjernan men jag är alltid ansvarig för innehållet, även om jag inte alltid håller med om allt.
(PS. Intervjun med Mondale hittar ni på nordicreach.com DS.) |
