Now Read This

This is good writing, good first person writing.  It's about facing death from Covid-19 by someone who had it.  This is one of the closing paragraphs.
The Commission is strongly committed to supporting the development of a vaccine. Let’s be clear: Without a coronavirus vaccine, we will never be able to live normally again. The only real exit strategy from this crisis is a vaccine that can be rolled out worldwide. That means producing billions of doses of it, which, in itself, is a huge challenge in terms of manufacturing logistics. And despite the efforts, it is still not even certain that developing a COVID-19 vaccine is possible.

This is kind of a cool picture of Covid-19 vs the flu.  They're not the same.

 
The arm is better, but lap-topping left handed is proving to be difficult.

  1. That is an excellent piece; thanks for pointing it out. This is such a scary and mysterious virus, and it just boggles my mind that some people can be as sick as that guy was and others don't even know they have it. The flu obviously doesn't work that way; when you get it, you know you have it. I pray that a vaccine will be developed and the crazy anti-vaxxers won't refuse it.

  2. Hmmm... any coincidence that the out of control Covid is red and the generally controllable flu is blue?

  3. Thanks Allison for that link. I come to your blog from time to time via Steve Reed's blog.
    I found the article both fascinating and alarming. It's such mystery this virus, there's no knowing what form it will take and how people will recover, if in fact they do.
