Zoom becomes the new verb

Zoom meeting with OMF Thailand Leaders

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, "Zoom" has become a verb.  It is no longer Skype or some other video conferencing but Zoom.  I can under why it has become to the "go to" video conference software.  It has been so much better than Skype.  We have had our North Thailand prayer meetings twice now on Zoom.  Even my monthly mentoring meetings we've switched to Zoom.

Thailand has been under an emergency decree for over a month now.  Social distancing and wearing of masks is mandatory as is the 10pm-4am curfew.  It was declared today that the emergency decree would be extended for another month as as the ban on inbound international flights.  Our children's school has been closed for the past month and won't reopen for face to face teaching until the second week of August!

Praise God that the number of new cases of COVID-19 has continued to decrease and as of last night it was below 10.  Like, most people we are looking forward to returning to some semblance of what will be the new "normal".
