Dear Nathaniel,

Thank you, but please don't bring me breakfast or supper today. I'm sick, I have a sore throat and pain whenever I swallow. I'll let you know when I'm ready for more food. I don't mean to be unfriendly, but I'm not offended if you don't come into this room while I'm sick.  There's no need for you to expose yourself to whatever is ailing me.  (If come nonetheless, bring a mask for me.) Stay well. Love Jochen
