For the most part, the way France has handled COVID-19 has be exemplary. The government has been very helpful to workers who have had to stay at home or who have been put out of work, have been very clear in communicating why policies have been put in place without politicizing the issues, and is quite respected here even though the opposition are being immoral jerks. People are the priority. They even worked out how to transfer those on ventilators via TGV to another part of the country where hospital space was available. The competence has been refreshing to be around. With that being said, France should change their decision and go with the Apple/Google API. The insistence on trying to shame Apple into modifying the OS to make it less secure is short-sighted. I hope they come to the correct decision soon.

Dan - I know I'm a little late but -- welcome back. A few weeks ago I was wondering if I'd ever be able to read you ideas once again. I am so glad to be able to do so as I've problem read every post you've ever made over the last 15 years. 

I'm really just waiting for your old catch phrase;  "They're wrong. Here's why." :-)

The thing I like about Apple's Time Capsule is that the 2.4 and 5 GHz networks are as if combined into one. Every other wifi router I've tried keeps them separate. With the TC, I'm able to have my Epson printer and other 2.4 GHz devices not slow down my iPads and iPhones which are on the 5 GHz network, but I can still connect to those devices without having to reconnect onto the 2.4 GHz network. I'm still using the TC, but the new house I now in has thick, stone walls so the TC is sitting in the hallway. Not ideal but the only thing that works. I'd like to get a mesh WiFi network but I have a question. Do these mesh WiFi work like the TC does and allows me to have one account name for all devices (2.4 and 5 Ghz), yet keeping them on their own network? Or do you have to connect to the 2.4 GHz version of the network to do something like printing? Thanks.
