Isn't it funny that the guy who runs the company (pfizer) who got the vaccine for COVID was greek.

Very funny. Not really . We are very resourceful it turns out

There are constant covid tests at my job but I never have one because I think it's icky the way they push that coton bud up your nose.

Amazing news from Israel: a cure for the common COVID had 96% efficacy on 30 infected volunteers in its Phase I testing.

Pretty damned cool, and maybe a light at the end of this dark, dark tunnel. Phase II testing (full double-blind technique) is next.

The drug is EXO-CD24, and it's administered direct to the lungs with an inhaler. Space laser optional.

I've been getting tested monthly since around August or September. Better safe than sorry.
Next step: vaccine. Registered and waiting...

Captain Tom Moore has died of Covid.

After raising £33m for the NHS (because the govt didn’t raise funding) to fight Covid. Tragic irony.

It was on the CBC National News last night. The closest their webpage comes is in the first part of this article, but there are links within the article. https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/covid...-faq-1.5893936

56 Canadians have been diagnosed with the seasonal flu so far this winter, compared to over 2,600 last winter as a side effect of behavioral changes under COVID.
