Update from The House of Plague, Day 62

So, today we went to THE PARK!

We have been on plenty of walks - like I said previously, we live next to a nature reserve - but this was The PARK, in TOWN, and there were OTHER PEOPLE and OMG!

It was very lovely. There were ducklings and goslings in the duck pond (So cute! So fluffy!) and we walked all over (the flower gardens were rather neglected, presumably gardeners are not considered Key Workers), and it was all Rather Exciting.

Otherwise only two links, not related to the park at all. One from this morning:

And this one from a couple of weeks ago, but still very relevant. With many thanks to Kerk for sending me the link! When an anesthesiologist who is on the front lines of the Covid crisis in the U.S. is putting her life on the line every day, how can you possibly thank her? Well... if her favourite show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer, maybe you can get a few actors from the show to come say thanks to her?

The reports of Kawasaki have been a pretty sad (and I'd say alarming, but how much hasn't been?) development. Not only that the cases are so serious but that the effects may be so long lasting. The main comparison all this time has been the 1918-1920 flu. But especially the potential connection with children makes all this seem a lot more like polio, with people surviving but not the same as they were.
