diarrhoea city

A diarrhoeal illness is sweeping the city, cutting swathes through old people's homes, one of which I couldn't avoid visiting today, as one of its residents was said to be approaching death by a panicked staff. I take meticulous care not to touch anything in there, including the patient, though it is plain to see she is scarcely moribund, and in fact quite chatty. I order a clear fluid regime for 24 hours and whisk myself out within five minutes. As of time of writing I can report no infection has yet set in.
