DR.STRONG :I didn't want to bother you on your holiday. I'm not implying that Mr. Alex Young should drop what he's doing to make a video. It's just that with all the activity on the Sun the last few days, I was curious what was going to happen next. You said Alex was doing this as a favor for you, it is also a favor and a act of kindness for me and all of your subscriber's. Well anyway DR.STRONG enjoy your days off, sorry for bothering you, and keep safe.

@706wilson Alex is doing this on a time if avail basis as not much is going on he may not be able to fill in. You can check out the links in the description boxhe may have posted something there.
