Quarantining backwards Jan 30, 2021

"I feel under house arrest, but when this is over I'm going to quarantine backwards - 15 days without going home!"

That's so funny, Exy! Your white-booted neighbour seems to do a lot of that already ...

As these questions are still unanswered... Jan 30, 2021

prove it by answering the following questions:

Where did I grew up?
Who did I know?
What did I see?
What did I hear?
Where did I go?
Where did I not go?
Why didn't I go there?
What did I feel when I did or didn't?


...we should consider Thomas to ask his neighbours living next to him out there in the east of Germany for that job. They were and some of them still are experts in sniffing "The Lives of Others"* and perhaps can make alive earlier contacts they had in NI and London (if our friend ever lives in London, but they'll find it out) before 1989.
My neighbours here around my flat would only know all the details about my life. Details even I don't and didn't know. But they like your posts, Mervyn

AstraZeneca EMA approval Jan 30, 2021

isn't the vaccine that Tom was given recommended only for people of age between 18 and 65 years, as I have read in the Kieler Nachrichten today?


Also in the Italian Newspapers and TV "AstraZeneca not recommended after 65 because experimentation was not sufficient"

[Edited at 2021-01-29 08:26 GMT]


There is information coming from all sides about the various vaccines. Some of it is serious, peer-reviewed, and credible but most of it is not. Some people are prepared to believe anything. For serious information I recommend this website:

https://tinyurl.com/y3nqojbq


So, EMA approved it also for over 65 even if stating again there is not sufficient experimentation for over 55, it seems "better than nothing" (over 55).

Some interesting U-turns from the EU right now! Politics seems increasingly like a school playground.

Only time will tell how effective it will be in older people. But at least we know it’s safe, seeing as we’ve jabbed several million now already. They just need to make some more, fast.

Agree totally, but that's non-trivial. Ramping production of a new product to scale is fraught with problems even when manufacturing inanimate objects. When you consider the massively compressed time scale and the fact that they're dealing with the additional complication of manipulating living organisms rather than materials like steel or plastic - well. I'm just full of admiration for the way the pharma supply chain has gone from zero to, well, if not 100, at least to 60 in the space of a year. Including development! It's astonishing. I think it's easy to overlook how much of an achievement this is. How many people genuinely believed, in January last year, that this was possible? I suspect that I was typical in that I was very, very skeptical, and I, like many others, was wrong.

Yes, she has been rehearsing her "samba" for the Day of Carnival in 2022.

Under arrest in Italy again, since I came in November with my negative test for helping my infected son, so when all this will be over I plan not seeing Italy for at least 4 months.

Got a Squier classic vibe precision (Rotosound roundwounds), and a Spector (D'addario flatwounds), and a 8" Line 6, nothing fancy. I don't consider myself a bassist at all
For some reason you struck me as a Rickenbacker player, don't ask me why
I keep hearing about those La Bella flatwounds (they must sound nice on a P-bass), sadly they're not sold in Turkey.

As low as you can go daddyoh Jan 31, 2021

The La Bellas are nice, the 760fls not "heavy" at all. As low as you can go I reckon, deep talkin bassville daddyoh
Mine's the same CV 70s, really nice bass, super low action great tone, just started playing music again after years distracted by adventure sports surfing that sort of thing. Got D'addario chrome flats on the acoustic guitar, bust one almost out of the pack though.

Can still play OK when not mesmerized, which I kinda don't know when will be, then it's like woah p

Reckon this must be the low-key version of the bug, some of the folks in the village have had the nasty one, high fever, trouble breathing but everyone's got through it so far. Must've got just a lil bit, very flu-like, I've had nastier flu, can totally see why some folks would walk about not realising they were sick, last two days upper chest felt like I'd smoked a packet of woodbines backwards but better today, physically exercise is a bit weird, can work out like muscle stuff no problem but out of breath if climbing the stairs too quick, mostly it's just realising I've been staring at the same bathroom tile for half and hour, which I think is fever kicking in as my immune system stomps bug butt, not taking anything to lower that cause viruses don't do well at high temps and that's the way the body fights it first week anyway. Sleeping is good even an hour. All good and going according to plan so far. Slowing down now, laterz

That's probably likely. It's likely to be probable.

I would say most people didn't need three doses, or even two. I got one dose of Moderna (I didn't actually want it but the German state was treating the "unvaccinated" like dirt so I caved in) and then tested positive for Covid two weeks later. No more doses for me! This idea that everyone needed to be vaccinated against Covid was rubbish from the beginning. Our bodies, our choice.
