Today was his first day back in the office (his outfit classifies as a financial institution, so they stay open). He was all tubed up, though not on a ventilator. His lung function is nowhere near back to normal, and he was warned not to do anything strenuous. But he is apparently out of danger, with sense of smell returning.

The border is still closed, but as soon as I can get over there, I'll ask for the full story.
