Corona virus daily life

To live normally is difficult but possible. Or better expressed – it must be possible. Personally, I live according to recommendations such as social distancing, wash my hands etc etc. To interrupt person-to-person transmission. I saw several runners yesterday when I went for a walk. I walk as fast as I can and I will start running again when the Corona virus is attenuated.

We had a vaccin last time against the Swine flu, but not this time. That vaccin was accompanied with side effects (narcolepsy), but now people are dying since there is no vaccin. This is easy to understand, and I hope people can see that there must always be a health cost-benefit analysis before a new medicin can be clinically introduced. These are tough decisions for health authorities.

To put this very moment in a perspective is problematic since we would like to have a solution before making decisions. A right or a wrong answer. Some decisions must be taken even though we are not 100% sure about the outcome. To trust the gut feeling. In ten years we will say “why did we do that, or why didn’t we go for that decision”. It is interesting to note that the devastating Polio was globally eradicated when a vaccine was introduced.

We must also trust that the various Ministries talk to each, because this is difficult. To put eg health, economics and foreign policies in relation to each other. Future research is needed. How can we prevent a new virus outbreak? Will SARS appear in a new form? Questions must be dared to be asked and I hope the WHO get the correct information.

Yesterday was no sunshine so I searched for an old photo from last spring and found this with snow drops.
