While I agree with your conclusions (in that it seems that finally Covid-19 is no longer worse than a flu), my understanding is that the influenza virus is not another type of coronavirus, but a different kind of virus altogether. Anyway, I got my shots today and don't feel anything negative except when touching the puncture sites (left and right), but the latter is normal with whatever vaccination one gets.
You're right, I was mistaken, some of the common cold virusses are corona-virusses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus
(and have been around far longer than Covid.
There's talk that there's a new Covid variant coming from China and there have been a lot of cases of something called white lung syndrome pneumonia recently. China does seem to have a knack for being a kind of state plague factory. Not sure what's going on there but being a dictatorship it's no doubt more interested in covering things up than providing the answers. Unnatural habits (such as selling and eating bats) and poor hygiene may go some way to explaining it.
Depends on what you call "unnatural habits". Industrial livestock farming played its role in the BSE outbreak and consecutive vCJD cases in humans (although there were "only" about 230 of these as the latest figure I could find...compare this to Covid casualties). And there are lots of people in the world who consider our obsession with eating pork "unnatural", especially produced from pigs being crowded together under conditions which are clearly unnatural indeed. (Disclosure: I love eating meat, but try to purchase it from where I can be half-way certain the animals haven't suffered so much in their short life.)
Indeed, they do have a point. At the same time, in many places in China hygene is abysmal, and eating animals that are known virus carriers like baats, rats and pigeaons certainly isn't helping either. At least our bused and stuffed animals have been cleaned of virusses as much as possible...
similar happnd 55 yrs ago in swiss 1968 whn OHMSS filmd
A twisted ankle leading to a partly ruptured tendon (still need a brace when working out),
back spasms that meant I could only lay flat or walk for three days,
several minor tooth operations,
a bike accident that lead to both hands being bandaged for two days,
a broken finger (seperate from the bike thing),
and now what I strongly suspect to be plantar fasciitis.
Meaning all four of my extremitis as well as my back have been hurt in some way and I think I've been at some kind of doctor's office on average once a week since the summer. Seriously, why??!!
(I mean, I know it's at least partly, because I am overweight. But still. WHY??!!)
Very sorry for your pain and hope some remedies come soon. I recently did a bout of physical therapy that came with weekly massages and it really, really helped my back! Highly recommend if you have insurance etc. and don't mind another office visit. They would massage me and then the therapist would do cupping techniques to pull blood into tight areas around my spine and it worked a trick! So long as I stretch etc. like a good boy it should keep up alright. Massage might also help the foot, and you might want physical therapy for the injured hands in time anyway!
You could say that the shop was desserted.
Ouch. That said their buches de Noel were great.
You can always rely on me to ignore the basic rules of comedy and deliver some terrible puns.
Well that didn't make me laugh, but I did smile.
No but more seriously, I'm really getting worried about Christmas Dinner. It's like there's nothing anywhere this year. And my wife is vegetarian, which makes things more challenging.
It is a stressful time of year in retail environments. Hopefully the other big supermarkets like Tesco, Asda and Sainsburys still have stuff left and will surely have more Christmas food stock coming in?
Don't worry, it's worse in France. Here, M & S has been one of the early victims of Brexit. Now, it's been taken over by a french chain, which only sells non-perishable M & S products. So, no more Scotch eggs for me.
No, my turn : this morning, at work, I was tasked with sorting the "Return to Sender" letters. And I'm still baffled by the number of letters I see where the "Return to Sender" stickers has been put... on the sender's address ! Can you tell me how I'm supposed to do my job in this conditions ?
:))
Yes, we now really know what "continent isolated" means.
Alright alright I'm going let me get my coat alright?
And they say that the British have terrible food... ;)
It's still better than Lord Dragonpoo. I don't think anyone's called me that yet. 8-X
I'm so insanely funny I should really be called Lord DragonLOL. :D
As someone here once observed, Dragonpol is an immensely punable name. So, it therefore fits me like a glove.
The gloves are off!
No more Mr Nice Dragon! ;)
I like Nick Nack's funky new hairstyle!
I've been to Lidl today. Interesting stuff, but mostly cheese and bread type things. Got back to M&S and found a little more. But need to get back closer to the date for lots of fresh stuff. Alcohol wise I should be okay.
Yes, they should have Christmas stock in again pretty soon as they'll want to maximise their sales in the run up to the big day. Hope you get all you need in order to make Christmas a special time for you and your family. 🎄
