• W4237647319 abstract "5 despite the imminent outbreak in our city, we had taken ourselves to a reading at a small bookshop by the waterfront. There were more people than we thought there would be, and although by that point we had already been told not to shake hands, although we had been inundated with warnings not to touch our faces, people were embracing as though we were not on the verge of catastrophe. About the reading itself I remember very little. In normal times I would have enjoyed it, but these were not normal times. I was distracted. It had been weeks since I had slept well. At night I was plagued by dreams of contamination. By day I tracked the progress of the virus as slowly, and then suddenly, it made its way to our city. Now, the first case had arrived, and we had been told there were likely hundreds more, still undiagnosed. the moment Do You Know Alex Oreille Katie Kitamura 6 | Katie Kitamura After the reading, we stood around in clusters and made unfunny jokes about the coming pandemic, but mostly we refused to touch other people. I don’t remember when I first noticed the young woman. She had a very plain face, even now I would strug­ gle to describe it in concrete terms. Mousy brown hair, medium height, quite large and expressive eyes. She had been standing a few feet away for some time, examin­ ing the bookshelves, before she suddenly introduced herself. “Excuse me,” she said. “But do you know Alex Oreille? I over­ heard you say that you were at Covington in October. He was there at the same time.” I turned to the young woman. “Red hair? Tall? Funny walk?” The name was unfamiliar and I had no immediate recollection of the person she described. But as she pantomimed the comic gait and manner of her friend, an image of a young man began to form in my mind, the hazy recollection of someone who might have been Alex Oreille. “I’m not sure,” I said sincerely. “But yes, probably. The name is familiar. Did he like Covington?” She nodded. “Oh yes,” she said. Her face and limbs were mar­ velously mobile, as she spoke she flung her arms and hands about, occupying the air around us. “He finished his manuscript, he made a bunch of friends, he lived in a beautiful place by the sea. “To be honest, it’s hard not to be jealous,” she said, lowering her voice. “I study HIV. There’s only ever one update: ‘It didn’t work.’” She screwed up her face and gave a clownish shrug and we laughed. She laughed too, quite loudly, and then my husband said, “So you study infectious disease? Can you talk to us about the virus?” “I can talk, for sure,” she said slowly. She raised a theatrical eye­ brow. “But I don’t want to bore you—” “You won’t bore us,” he said. “Trust me.” We leaned forward. She clasped her hands and began. “For the vast majority of people, it’s nothing more than a cold. A headache, a sore throat—a bad flu at most. But for a percentage of Do You Know Alex Oreille | 7 people it’s much worse. It degrades into pneumonia. It results in hospitalization, and in some cases death.” She paused. “If you look at all the statistics coming out of China, not one child has been seriously ill. It’s the elderly and the immuno­ compromised. People with underlying conditions—which is a sub­ stantial number of people in many parts of the United States.” As she spoke, I felt a slow creep of impatience. She hadn’t told me anything I didn’t already know, nothing that couldn’t be found in the course of a casual internet search, the kind I had been per­ forming for days. As she began to rattle off the statistics that could be found on the website of a well-known university, my husband shifted his weight on his feet. Shelookedaroundtheroomandloweredhervoiceconfidentially. “I would say right now in this room, three or four people are infected.” I looked up, startled. “Here? Right..." @default.
