so I just went and looked up the stats and am very relieved to see that the climbing numbers are limited to NSW, I thought it was across Australia but it isn't, I think we can genuinely hope for the numbers to start dropping again. Victoria had worse numbers when it was in trouble, and now it is okay again.
but the hospitalisations and deaths seem to me quite an appreciable percentage - just shows how horrible it is.
yes re the fitness trainer, maybe he got the delta strain the second time round. The thing is the rapidity of the evolution of the corona virus compared to the rapidity of the vaccination response isn't it? As I understand it we are on a losing wicket because the microscopic things reproduce so fast.
I saw a show where they are working to develop a nasal spray vaccine. The idea being more rapid response and stopping the virus at the door - in the airways before it gets in.
Drek, I know I don't want to get the virus. I don't want to get the vaccine either but if the risk of getting the virus becomes appreciable then either I must literally become a hermit which I think tends to send people loopy, or attempt a vaccine at which point I do have a nice doctor I can go to and formulate a plan on how to do it. Unfortunately I tend to believe it could easily be curtains for me, even doing it in hospital. so there is another option would be to move to a more remote area, go and live with the wallabies on Bruny Island - has appeal I really do like the company of wallabies even though it is in the teeth of the Antarctic winds. but I am hopeful we will stay covid free in my locality where the sun is shining today. very nice, now if I could just swap my neighbours for the wallabies....
