Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

I read that in 2008 the 1918 flu markers were found in everyone still alive from that epidemic era.
They found , figured out, the DNA markers in people who had died from it and buried in permafrost

Exactly!

I agree. At least not in my lifetime. Though I sorely want to know what is Really going on.
I keep reminding myself that the definitive book on the 1918 Flu wasn't published until 2005. I feel like the history of this epidemic will be over half of special interest following their own ends.

It's not a formal study but I notice that when I get a covid patient at the hospital it's about 50\50 chance they were vaccinated. A lot of my patients are 'with' covid and not necessarily 'for' covid.
We still have a dedicated ICU for Covid but most of the medical (floor) patients are in regular single rooms in isolation, like someone with TB.

The Louisiana Governor is suppose to lift covid restrictions today (I didn't realize we still had any) but the City of New Orleans is waiting another week or two (to save face, or hold on to that power a little longer.)

What power? None of it is enforceable.

Japan is lifting their restrictions for foreigners. We might be able to take our honeymoon abroad after all

Except I can't work or go sit in a resturant without my CARD.

Hm. Nobody has asked for my card here, ever. I am one of the few in my community that still masks in public places.

I'm glad you do. No matter what the government restrictions are, there is still COVID around.

That is ridiculous where do we live? China?

Is that where you want to go?
