Coughing and Sneezing in Susa Group Part 3
Friday, May 30th, 2008On the sixth day of the outbreak, it was my turn to visit Susa Group. Kurira’s cough reverberated through the forest. He’d barely moved his family from where they’d foraged the day before. Kiki, normally a very active blackback, sat in his night nest coughing and picking his nose. Three other sick silverbacks coughed intermittently. Juveniles and infants played—again, as if nothing were wrong. Rwandarushya’s five-month-old baby cautiously crawled away from his mother. She pulled him right back. I tried not to think of either one as a future patient.
