I had to stop Brad's first attempt at suicide today. We have him on watch now, 24-hour hold for now while we talk with him. We can't spare any more time than that. After the hold, if he still wishes to die, while I hate to honor his wish, he will be free of this life. Otherwise, the time spent trying to keep him alive will endanger the rest of our family. We will talk to him and let him know that we want him to live. We would like him to eventually be free to join our family, but first, he must earn it. Life is becoming more precious as more succumb to this disease as is our humanity as more of our race plunge back to our feral instincts to survive.

On that same topic, I do hope our neighbors have faired well. Through the storms a few days past and through the raids that have been taking place. We cannot go to check on them. It is too much risk with MERS now in the region thanks to our wonderful mayor. If we go to check on them and that virus follows us back here, someone, maybe all, will die here. It has been risky with Brad. That is what wiped out most of his group but he has not shown any signs of it. I do not believe he is carrying it thankfully. I hate to have this mentality but visitors will get one verbal warning before our graveyard grows by another spot. Our group will not end up like his group.
