We're both on the mend, but I'm afraid others are not so fortunate. Some are dropping into comas, and I'm afraid there might be deaths in the near future. It reminds me a lot of when I had Dragon Pox, but without the green skin.
Then there are some fliers going up around town blaming things on muggles, trying to stir up more discontent. It makes me thing the LeStranges have something to do with the rapid spread of this disease.
You are fortunate to be away at this time. I'd suggest you stay away until a cure is found, no matter how long that takes or how hard it is to watch what is happening to your friends.
I'm glad you liked the pendant. Wear it in continued good health.
