Thank you for the update, Edward. You sound like a true survivor. Thank you also for clarifying the Jman username confusion. Toronto is in very bad shape. As far as I’ve heard, the infection is only in the western world. I can’t pinpoint the first infection, though.
Grace came over for a visit after work yesterday. We discussed the coffee shop gossip that she’d overheard, over French Vanilla coffees and some cinnamon buns that she brought home from work. According to her, the first family that had the virus/infection in Bromley (the Martins--a wife, husband and two teenage daughters) had been vacationing in Mexico (a little over a month ago?). They’d been home for about a week before all of them started having a fever, severe headache and stiff and painful muscles and joints. The hospital tested them for H1N1, but the results for the test take a few days. They were told to stay home and stay away from other people until they were completely feeling better. Instead of picking up stuff at the stores, they were to order groceries and medications over the phone and have them delivered to their doorstep. In other words, they were unofficially quarantined.
A couple of days after the Martins holed up at home, the youngest daughter started having a seizure so an ambulance was called, and took her to the hospital (her mother went with her). The father and other daughter stayed home. The next day a caring neighbour called the Martin’s house to see how everyone was, and there was no answer. Other family and neighbours have tried to check up on the family, both at home and in the hospital, and they are told that the mother and daughter are quarantined and no visitors are allowed. The hospital does not know the status of Mr. Martin and his oldest daughter. At the Martin residence, no one answers the door or phone. There are no lights, no movement and no noises. The car is still parked in the driveway.
What has happened to the Martin family? If they were properly quarantined, why has this begun to spread around the community?
