My friends I just came back from my morning swim. In the locker room was a man married to a woman from Nepal. He told us that the death toll in the urban areas has gone above 3,700. They have no idea of how many people have died in the rural areas. Survivors are without clean water and other sanitary things. Outbreaks of diseases like cholera are now possible. This is not good! The only good news was that all members of this man's family there in Nepal had survived.
