Corona Virus

New York was the epicentre of the COVID pandemic in the USA. Lack of urgency in isolating and locking down caused the spread across the country. The vast majority of cases came from domestic spread.

"

“It means that we missed the boat early on, and the vast majority in this country is coming from domestic spread,” said Kristian Andersen, a professor in the department of immunology and microbiology at Scripps Research. “I keep hearing that it’s somebody else’s fault. That’s not true. It’s not somebody else’s fault, it’s our own fault.”"

Good news - my Covid-19 test was negative, so it's a relief to know I'm not infecting anyone.
My sniffle, mild sore throat and cough must just be a touch of the flu after having the vaccine a fortnight ago.

Hope so.
So I can't give you Covid-19 but I do have a cold available if there are any takers. Be like those dumb Americans holding Covid parties to deliberately infect themselves - how dumb is that!

This is not new, one solid theory is the lack of "sun" in blighty especially at this time of the year.. you know, that bright ball of light and warmth that seems to ascend up one side of the sky...and pass over...and goes down t'other side....
Poms admire paintings and pictures of it...

Seriously, vitamin D deficiency is a 'thing' in the northern lattitudes, and when combined with certain ethnic groups who wear total clothing cover... they don't stand a chance of getting DOUBLE + the exposure a fair skin Celt/Norman/Saxon needs.

vit D is required for a fully performing immune system, (as is C and zinc) your first and best line of defence against bugs & virus pathogens.
You can normally get all the D you need from 5 to 15 minutes exposure, ideally around mid-day. Or, 1000 to 5,000IU in a supplement. Natural is preferred.

You do realize there is more sun in the northern hemisphere at this time of the year than the south?
