I haven't had it either. Yet.

Most sense of smell and taste appears to be largely gone, especially the former.

In truth I really only eat junk food when I feel sick and my senses are numbed.  Otherwise that shit tastes like, well junk food...

Vienna is offering a 4th vaccination shot to risk groups. However, they point out that in their app the status will still show "3/3", even after four shots, because it's "technically not possible" to show more than 3 out of 3 vaccinations.  :lol:

Also, apparently there's a FREEDOM CONVOY around Ringstraße today, protesting the excessive Covid policies of the government (at this point that's the wearing a mask in public transport, certain shops and places like supermarkets and pharmacies, and in hospitals, retirement homes and other places where risk groups might get exposed).  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:

I wonder what the US protesters are singing?  :hmm:
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Looks like 1.5 million people in North Korea have fever symptoms after the first reported Corona case in that country. Apparently Kim Jung-Un is criticizing various officials and blaming them and their failures for the outbreak.

North Korea, as I understand it, didn't do any kind of vaccination (ruling clique excepted, I suppose). And with the typical totalitarian mentality in place, it'll likely be very difficult to contain the spread... and they don't have any international partners who are going to help either. It's probably going to get pretty grim there :(

Hadn't heard of this before. Apparently Cuba developed its own covid vaccine and.... it works.

Quite funny to compare and contrast to China.

The Chinese vaccines work. They are good vaccines. One is more effective than the other but they're very helpful and important (AZ has been used on more people but I think Sinovac is second).
Let's bomb Russia!

108 cases in 10 non-African countries for Monkeypox.  :ph34r:

Not nearly as infectious as SARS-Cov2
