I have no symptoms, but I have been on airplanes twice in the last ten days, so I am keeping to myself. I also made chicken soup, to ward off evil spirits. Stay well!!

I looked at Pepys's Diary too, because I remembered laughing with my classmate about "noxious pestilential vapors," his phrase that we have used in jest ever since. But old Samuel is more taken up with his own life at the time (interesting as that may be.) Daniel and his Uncle Henry had more to say about what the population of the city were doing, thinking, and feeling.<br /><br />And yes, the medical folk! I am always in awe of people like firemen, cops, and especially doctors and nurses - who take up work that forces them to run toward what the rest of us are running away from. They deserve our thanks.

Now I'll have to scour the house looking for my copy :)<br />You're right, too, to commend the doctors, nurses, orderlies and others who are fighting this.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494553839052036175noreply@blogger.com
