Viral Load


We have been assaulted relentlessly these past few weeks by the constantly evolving biological landscape that is daycare. The viral and bacterial stew that Maddie swims in all day has come home to roost, and it likes it's new digs. Our illnesses never seem to subside anymore, they simply change into something else with different symptoms every week or so. It's very hard to track the vectors. I feel like an "emerging threats" specialist with the CDC, assigned to the border villages of the Congo rain forest.

I know this is a consequence of the large numbers of interactions we deal with nowadays in our communities and that she'll be pretty well protected by kindergarten, but for now it's bio warfare on a grand scale. Now, where did I leave my Bio Safety Level 4 plastic spacesuit?
