Very sad...however, at least he's alive. Death toll
up to 59 now...all but three in Paradise/Camp fire
area.
On top of that, the evacuation camps have now been
hit by Norovirus to add insult to injury.

CHICO
Norovirus has broken out at a Butte County shelter
housing Camp Fire evacuees, and an outbreak is
suspected at a second shelter.
Fifteen to 20 people staying at Neighborhood Church
of Chico have become ill, and lab tests have
confirmed they have norovirus, said Lisa Almaguer,
spokeswoman for the Butte County Public Health
Department.
Fire evacuees staying at Oroville Church of the
Nazarene shelter are also showing symptoms of the
virus, but lab tests have not yet confirmed it,
Almaguer said. She said about 166 people are staying
at that facility as of Wednesday afternoon.
About 170 people are staying at the Chico shelter,
said shelter manager Diane Shoen of the American Red
Cross. Citing health confidentiality laws, she
wouldn’t confirm the report Wednesday night....(rest

If anyone has a favorite charity (Red Cross, United
Way, Umcore, Catholic Charities, etc., ) donations
are greatly needed to get these people and families
back on the road to having lives again.
