What concerns me about this illness is mostly Patrick. All this talk about "fragile people" and the ones in "frail health." When a cold goes through our house we suffer a range of symptoms - fever, cough, head and chest congestion... But when Patrick gets a cold he seems to suffer from flu-like symptoms Every. Damn. Time. The common cold can knock Patrick out of the game for days. He gets body aches and fatigue, a cough that makes his head pound, and dizziness. He sleeps all day and complains about lack of energy. He can't go out in the cold without a mouth covering, and by going out I merely mean walking from the house to the truck. So this illness that is spreading across the globe at an alarming rate and affecting compromised individuals - it is our foe. This is the only reason why I am worried.
