Email and the computer virus

The number of emails I got this morning has been on its lowest level since the beginning of this century, including the few hundred spam messages I get every day. I had expected the opposite as China has resumed work yesterday.
I assume it's the virus that has slowed down the internet over the past few days. Do not expect any answers very soon.

Fortunately, there is still normal mail. Today was a special day as I have sent off my applications for a one-year fellowship in the US. Chances I get it are 50/50 I think, but then I have always been too much of an optimist. Keep your fingers crossed!
