Plague 9: Enchiladas

Plague dinner 9: cheese enchiladas, green chili sauce. Margarita/white lady. Brownies.

I called the city health department 36 hours ago to ask how I could help. They have not condescended to reply. City officials appear to be sitting on their hands to await God’s wrath, or expecting someone else to take care of the big things — PPE, ventilators, ICU beds, replacement caregivers to step in for those who will fall.

I cannot fathom this.

We should be building ventilators. We should be building hospitals. We should be training medics. We have perhaps 16 days.
