Report of 5 April 2020
Good evening -
Bright sunlight, the sea in the distance, nature looks happier, lockdown continues. I am a few pounds heavier.
One resident in our apartment complex has tested positive for COVID-19 and the entire complex has been quarantined. Yesterday, 2 health officials visited our apartment and asked questions about our health. It is good that the illness is being taken seriously, as it can cause even death.
The Banyan continues well in this time. Regretfully, we lost a patient recently after she had a stroke. Ms. X had breast cancer, had undergone treatment and was following up with the cancer center in Chennai. She had a stroke a few days ago and was sent to the hospital - SMF - that ably sees all our patients at a considerable discount. She did not recover and passed away peacefully. While I am saddened at the demise, I am grateful that she was with us - loved and tended and respected - instead of on the street, homeless and dying.
I have a routine set up in this lockdown. Exercise, shower, breakfast, do some continuing medical education, etc. We have managed to see several movies and particularly enjoyed "The two popes." Today, we saw "Roma" and it was fine, though slow-moving.
We spoke to both our children earlier last week and they are okay. I spoke to my father yesterday - it being his birthday - and he was in good spirits.
We hope you are healthy and safe.
