The second Sunday of advent 🕯️🕯️

Try to remember December 2019. At that time the Corona virus was already present in China. A 33-year-old doctor was the first to raise the alarm in late December because he had made SARS-like symptoms observations at the hospital. Dr. Li returned to work and, unfortunately, contracted the virus from an asymptomatic glaucoma patient in early January. Soon after, he started coughing, became febrile and was hospitalized due to COVID-19. He became a national hero for his attempts to warn the public. “There should be more openness and transparency”, he said.

Please, read the Lancet:  https://www.thelancet.com/action/showPdf?pii=S0140-6736%2820%2930382-2

A lot has happened since then. The Corona has generated a pandemic. A lot of people have passed away. Some get infected and recover but still have complications such as breathing problems. People work from home and that seems to turn out very well. The digital life is increasing, including digital social life. Digital development has indeed saved us from being in a much worse situation. But, we are human beings and we need social relations. Personally, I am in quarantine as much as possible. Very boring but necessary. I am happy about the Corona routines at my training center. I feel rather safe and I can continue with sports.

Furthermore, I have my writing that I love. This is part of my life, and will so be. Since I have scientific medical education, I share some of my analysis to you. What is interesting is the EU:s acting. They have been rather quiet. Is this due to law? Anyway, Great Britan seem to get the vaccine faster since they only have to argue with themselves. The EU, on the other hand, has to make an agreement with all 27 countries.

The second Sunday of Advent is today and I will light candles. It is peaceful with candles. I do not know why, but I thought of Mr Bean yesterday, and I saw an interview with him from the Graham Norton Show that I would like to share today.

Stay safe 🐾
