Health

The crowding there can be astonishing. We don't generally live that way here.

I am not seeing any reports of young people needing intensive care, so while that's surely a possibility, it's not much of an issue.

Again, it needs to be put in perspective. In a city of some 9 million, 12,000 have gotten sick and 250 have died. Yes, there may well be underreporting, especially of people who have only gotten a mild case. Which means the death rate is even less than those official numbers indicate. I realize that more people are getting sick every day, and more are dying, but it's the breathless reporting that is misleading.

Meanwhile, so far this flu season, some 15 million people here have gotten flu, which is about 4% of the population. And about 8,000 have died, which is .05% of those who got ill.

I know you take as good care of yourself as you can.
