When I was a teenager I worked in a large house in N Wales taking care of Downs children and adults. One night, after the clients were in bed, I sat in the staff room listening with friends to Simon & Garfunkel singing 'America'. I felt an overwhelming sense of unbearable heat and walked thro the open French windows into the garden. Everyone else came out. Next day we found out that three children had been burnt to death in the C19. "There are more things in heaven and Earth, Horatio, / Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Hamlet.
