Have I mentioned that I have Covid?  Unlike Ezi, I have foregone a search for Paxlovid, and no one has mentioned it.  I haven’t even called my doctor.   Right now, I’m watching tv and seeing how the north of the country is faring in these days  – the north deserted, and those who remain live in terror.  And while the program goes on, the sirens go off.  the names of the northern towns are listed on the side of the television.  

Nothing like that to put a fevery cough into proportion.
