That's great advice.

They just want to party, and ladies and germs are both invited.

Wait. Plague is bad? It was all the rage a few years ago.

"He's coming around, folks. He's going to be OK, and ready to play Symptom 6 of Beat the Reaper!"

Especially not the Lambada.

Well there goes my weekend.

"The plague is a lie." A participant .. insisted the plague risk had been exaggerated: "The government in power is short of money for the next presidential poll (in 2018), so they invent things to get cash from lenders,"

You mean I bought a recording of "Dry Bones" for nothing?

El Dio De Los Muertos or Day of the Dead in Mexico and the Southwest States is a gala affair where Spanish families clean and decorate graves, light candles, dress in bright costumes, play music, eat large meals and drink a lot. They celebrate the lives the deceased lived.
Anyone digging up a grave would be in trouble plenty.
