Biological viruses and antibodies

My way of dealing with the Corona virus and subsequent COVID-19 is to stay busy. Walking, reading, go to work etc with certain precautions. We must show respect to those who have passed away. Let us hope that it soon will get better. I mentioned antibodies earlier, and today I submitted a blood sample to see if I have been exposed. This is not a 100% sure test (ELISA), but it will give a clue. Since I have previously worked with pharmacology, I ask myself if there is a dose-dependent correlation between the amount of virus you are exposed to and sickness. I might have had small doses at work. LloydsPharmacy where I work send employees for testing. You don’t have to do it, but I needed something to focus on so I did it.

I cannot stop thinking of that this is modern warfare. Just in time for the industry. No war but an invisible enemy as the French 🇫🇷 president Emmanuel Macron said in the early beginning. To the best of my knowledge, he is the only head of a government who has admitted this. I do not like if the government has information and don’t share with voters. They must know something since they sent the brochure to the Swedish people “If Crisis or War comes” a couple of years ago OM_KRISEN_ELLER_KRIGET_KOMMER. The crisis is here. Why is it only Macron who has marked?

Enough about the virus, I will now focus on midsummer. This Sunday was filled with sunshine and I had a nice walk. I hope I can go and see sweetie and cutie at Midsummer. This year Molly (cutie) is with us. I cross my fingers.

Murphy’s law

Tomorrow is Sweden´s national day. I would very much like to go to the countryside to see sweetie and cutie. But, I am very careful and I stay in Stockholm. That is why I thought of Murphy´s law. The risk of spreading or getting infected by the Corona virus is moderate, but there are always possibilities and risks. Hand washing, social distancing etc are still important epidemiological medical tools.

Life has slowed down. In a way, I must agree that this is more of a normal life pace. Things must take time, and it can be dangerous to be stressed. A mistake can be made. The situation is of course very strange. Life is about the little life now. No travelling. Stay at home vacation.

I am reading my books on anti-inflammatory food and I will start to buy more ecological food. Active thinking when shopping groceries. I would like to know more about the salmon which is industrially produced. Is it safe to have this kind of salmon today? Animals should of course stay in the wild. More questions to come.

I am ending this little writing by wishing Denmark 🇩🇰 happy national day. Tomorrow is our turn 🇸🇪.
