Evariste Dureulx greeted his neighbour André. "Going to work", André said. "They called, and I had to come immediately". André was an ambulance driver at St.-Vincent Hospital. "The hospital apparently needs everyone who is available.

When Evarist enterd his house, he found his three children at home. "School is suspended", little Antoinette cheered. "Many children and teachers were absent". Evarist didn't like it at all. Being a bus driver, he had noticed it has been a quiet day. Not many passengers...

Evariste was late for evening mass. The weather was bad again. The church looked empty. Normally, there are three services on saturday night with around 200 people for every mass. Now, only some 35 people gathered in the house of worship. The voice of the priest sounded very strange, in this big, cold building. Evariste shivered.

Amélie, the wife of Evariste, entered the kitchen. "What's wrong?", Evriste asked. "No mass today, the priest is ill. They say he has the new flu. Shall I go to the monastery of Salesius? They have mass at 11 o'clock." Evariste told his wife it would be best to stay at home...

Holy Father, we have again news from Brinac. All hospitals are completelly full. They ask for assistance".
"Send it, now", Stephanus IV replied.
"The roads are bad, Your Holiness..."
"Do it, without hesitation."
"There is more, Holy Father, it's not only Brinac. We've got the same problem in Grasôgne. It started this afternoon. Hospitals cannot cope."
"Divers the aid between both places".
"Your Holiness, it is the complete south. Brinac, Grasôgne are worst affected. But the first patients are floodng into hospitals in Hallin, Maldrin, Londresèle, Gitbex,..."
"A peste, fame et bello, libera nos, Domine!"
