My DIL and one of my grandsons are sick with respiratory infections now.

Oh, No! How do they treat that?
I hope it is not too serious.

You need to be a little careful with respiratory problems right now. There is a nasty flu bug going around Southern California. Lasts for 2 weeks and puts people out of action for that long. I came down with it a couple of days before the fires broke-out. This is one of the worse flu's I have ever had. Starts off in the lungs. Many people who get this might mistake it for problems with smoke from the fires. Coughing occurs throughout. Dry heaving coughing at first which switches to coughing up yellow stuff from the lungs (unless you smoke and then it is black stuff). Later stages are lite coughing with a clearer stuff up from the lungs. Last 2 weeks unless you drink a DanActive (Tm) every day. Wonder it all these particulates in the air would enhance the spread of an infection ? Just curious ?
