During lockdown here in Melbs, I started posting a daily message on Facebook to try to help people have a bit of a laugh.
This is one of my very, very favourite ones.
Patti Smith. Springsteen. Michael Stipe. Hurray for the Riff Raff. Democracy Now.
Wowsers!
COME ON AMERICA, YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

I just think it's unfair that people booted off #TippingPoint don't get to keep the money they've earned.
I'm quite, quite sure the show could afford it.
Mgr in Teams message, after I let everyone know I'm back today.
Hope your feeling better.
Well, I was, until I read that.
A growing body of evidence suggests that long COVID (or post-COVID syndrome), a condition affecting more than 10% of people after a SARS-CoV-2 infection, may be driven by the immune system turning against the body. Now, new research coordinated by UMC Utrecht and Amsterdam UMC provides some of the strongest functional evidence yet that autoantibodies (antibodies that mistakenly target the body's own tissues) could play a causal role. The work appears in Cell Reports Medicine.

Every COVID-19 infection carries a risk of Long COVID - affecting the brain, heart, lungs, and immune system in ways that can last months or longer.
Prevention still works.
- Masking: Wear a high-quality mask (N95 or better) to reduce spread
- Ventilation: Bring in fresh air and use HEPA filtration indoors
- Distancing: Reduce crowding, use hybrid/remote options when possible
- Testing: Test early and often
- Vaccination: Helps protect against severe illness, especially with other measures

I'm sure it will ALL BE FINE.
What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
Mind you, if you consider the #LargeHadronCollider caused this glitch into a parallel universe in the first place, might this reverse it?
One can only hope.
Still waiting on "a plan" before I can be discharged.
I don't think I've ever known this department to be so thoroughly disorganized.
Also, starving. Nurse said she'd try to find me some lunch. I used to be a volunteer here, giving out meals to patients. There's a big trolley full of food. It's not hard to find...and no, they're not busy.
