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 🇸🇪.

It took some time, but now I have a few books on anti inflammatory food. I need something new to read since you cannot do much in the evenings due to the Corona virus. Inflammation is a natural part of the body to protect itself. Acute inflammations occurs for example in infections whereas chronic inflammations can be demonstrated at more or less complicated degrees. I have heard so much about anti inflammatory food. Right now I do not feel for cooking. I have lost my appetite. However, when the Corona virus is under control, I am looking forward to practice my new knowledge.

I should mention something about COVID-19. In catastrophes like this, people need something to do. Personally, I read, watch movies etc. You feel that you want to do something, but right now there is no solution but to wait for a vaccin. I do not believe that testing for antibodies will help to reduce the number of infected people with the Corona virus. If I would do the test and antibodies were found, I would not change my habits. Please give me comments on this.

Instead, we should take this opportunity to learn how to deal with future viruses and germs. New viruses will occur, and it would be very good if everybody could continue to think of not spreading infections. This is normal behaviour to show respect for each other. Unfortunately, a lot of people needs to be reminded. The governments should take this opportunity to introduce healthy behaviours.

Furthermore, it would also be very interesting to see statistics on prescribed amount of antibiotics now. I am very sure that there has been a reduction of the use of antibiotics since people understand that they might have a virus and that viruses cannot be treated with antibiotics. I hope there will be studies on this. This could dramatically reduce the use of antibiotics, and thereby reduce the risk of development of resistance. Antibiotics should only be used when there is a true need to treat an infection .

In conclusion, take this opportunity to introduce healthy habits to people, and do studies on eg amount of prescribed antibiotics. The outcome would, with no doubt, be a great income for Ministry of Economics, and no need to say, also for Ministry of Health.

These are strange days. The Corona virus is sometimes forgotten, but it is present. Difficult to put words on this moment. Tonight I searched for a good old movie to share and I found “A few good men”. This is a classic court room scene with excellent rethorics by Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson. I have always been impressed by good acting and rethorics. Almost like L.A. Law.

There is not much to do but to stay careful with regard to the Corona virus. Meanwhile, there are a lot of films and series you can watch. I don’t know why, but I got reminded of James Bond today. I thought “wasn’t he going to make another movie?”. So I browsed the internet and found out that he has postponed his film due to COVID-19. He and his team seem to have released some appetizers. They always have a theme song, and this must be their introduction to “No time to die”. Anyway, I don’t know, but it is a beautiful melody.

The Corona virus is very close. A lot of people have been infected, sick, recovered or died. Ordinary life has been changed and we have adapted. I am thinking of immunity and the development of antibodies. Or perhaps diplomatic immunity? To be little, little exposed to the virus is good, but not in a huge dose. Some companies are making money due to the Corona virus. Like in wars, where some organisations make profits in disastrous conflicts. Ethics on a high level. The USA government has recently funded the industry for developing a vaccin.

There is no evil that does not bring good. The Corona virus has globalized us. Borders have been closed, but at the same time the world is closer. This is a very good opportunity for countries to collaborate and learn from each other since there will be new globalized viruses. New pandemics. The WHO has a lot of work to support educational fraternal alliances. When a new virus will emerge, it will be very important to try to isolate it rapidly and stop the high-speed spreading. To learn from what happened in Wuhan in China 🇨🇳.

Physical distancing is important. To remember (1-)2 meter distance from people around you. But on the other hand, in these times you need to socialise. Call your friends, have a chat. Talk. Laugh. Try to do things that makes you feel good. Make a cake. Remember physical distance, not social distance. Italy 🇮🇹 has suffered a lot in this crisis, and I share this urban, global song with you on the theme “comfort”. I am approaching, slowly learning Italian, and I found this beautiful part in the lyrics.
