Do I care if they live or die?
In my opinion, anti vaxers and Covid conspiracy theorists are just like suicide bombers, their aim is to promote their crackpot theories and take as many non believers with them as possible. Below is a link to a newspaper article that appears today in The Daily Mail, an interview with a REAL doctor, not some fraud being sued by the institute he claims to work for for falsely claiming he works there, this a proper doctor at the sharp end of Covid ICU unit, his interview has no political affiliations, there is no mention of right or left, just the reality of what anti vaxers are doing to his patients. My hope is someone on here who may have been swayed by the garbage I've seen on these blogs of late will read it and think twice.
So do I care if they live or die, well as far as most conspiracy theorists go we can all have a good laugh at the drivel they come up with, but in this case it's actually costing lives ( please read the article), so no I don't care, I have a feeling the world would be a better place without them.

confused about the vaccine
I hear on the news....or at least they make it sound like...that if you are vaccinated you will not spread the virus. I literally just heard a report about the potential for spreading the virus in the Olympic games. They said that 80% of the athletes have been vaccinated and there was not much of a concern there for the spreading of the virus...but the audience was on average only 20% vaccinated...and that is where the real threat of spreading came from.
As far as I know, the vaccine only helped with mitigating the symptoms of the virus, but you could still get it. So in essence, a vaccinated person could indeed have the virus, spread it....and not even know they were spreading it because they were not suffering from the symptoms. I am not a brain surgeon...but, wouldn't that make them more of a risk for spreading it? I mean, at least the unvaccinated knew they were sick and would not be out in public areas....hence, spreading it less.

What do you do when your doctor tells you you have 2 maybe 3 days to live.
I've been a member of CS for over 7 years now. Been blogging on & off most of that time, have made some good friends on here, but seems even some of them don't believe a word I say 
That's a bit cutting as I've never knowingly told a lie either here or in the real world, but I made a comment on Usha's blog & even some of the regulars don't believe what I said was true 
Makes mental note to review my friends judgement 
So back to the original OP what do you do, well that fits into three categories, the first being exactly what you're told to do, then secondly you don't rent any long movies
Thirdly you don't choose this week to give up smoking, I mean what's it going to do, kill you 
I've always had a passion for fast cars so sort of envisioned the end would be say a 400 year old oak tree with my head buried in it, not something the size of an atom 
Problem with things that small they breed faster than rabbits & before you know it there's billions of the little buggers eating you alive 
I'm a little short on detail as one of the side effect of an infection in your head is total deafness, I did manage to catch the doctor saying I was lucky, hmmm well to me lucky would have been not getting it in the first place, but by Saturday, I'd been taking painkillers for weeks which I realised weren't doing my any favours so cut right back, and it was then I realised how serious it was & decided to go to a private clinic, she told me I probably wouldn't have made it till Monday
My thanks to my neighbour & Biff who've been driving me to the clinic, I can't drive myself as the council have been out putting bends in all the roads that weren't there last week, plus I'm now banned by the doctor due to one of the pile of tablets I have take day & night is a narcotic
So you can choose to believe this blog or not, but i will tell you the lab that did bloods works on my sample today did question whether they came from someone still alive

Omicron variant appears to be ‘super mild‘ mutation with Covid death rate not jumping
In response to: The WHO and Coronavirus experts are increasingly convinced the new Omicron variant is ‘super mild’ and has, so far, not led to a jump in Covid death rates anywhere in Southern Africa.
The WHO is calling this morning for countries to drop travel restrictions and end the mass hysteria, and instead be cautiously optimistic as more and more reports out of South Africa suggest the new Omicron variant is not more lethal than the previous Delta variant.
In fact, there have been no reports of hospitalisations or deaths as a result of anyone being diagnosed with Omicron.
Most patients merely experience a severe headache, nausea, dizziness and a high pulse rate, according to hospitals and medics across Southern Africa.
However, the news of the new variant, first reported in South Africa, led to mass hysteria around the world: markets thumbed and dozens of countries imposed travel restrictions and additional checks, including the UK, US, EU, Israel, Australia and Japan after the new mutation popped up in the UK, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic and Israel among other countries.
Dr Angelique Coetzee, chair of the South African Medical Association, said this reaction was “medically seen, not justified.”
A GP for over three decades, and chair of the South African Medical Association, she was the first African doctor to suggest to local authorities Covid had mutated into a new strain.
Coetzee called the response from many European countries, including the UK, “just a hype.”
South Africa’s health minister Joe Phaahla also said the majority of cases of Omicron seen by doctors in his country have been “mild”.
Asked what he knows about how unwell people are who have it, Dr Phaahla said: “It is still too early at this stage.
He added he has heard from GPs that the “majority of the people they’ve been seeing are mild.”
“Our clinicians have not witnessed severe illness. Part of it may be because the majority of those who are positive are young people,” Dr Paahla added.
Hundreds of infected people across Southern Africa reportedly complain of nausea, headaches, fatigue and a high pulse rate, but none seem to suffer from a loss of taste or smell, which has been the case with most other Covid mutations.
Moreover, more and more medics across Southern Africa are confirming that most Omicron-infected patients merely have a severe headache, nausea or dizziness.

This is the latest info on the Omicron variant.
I believe the UK and other countries made a knee jerk reaction and need to calm down and follow the science, not speculation.
To date there has not been a single death from this version of covid.
Medicating Human Needs
If you are depressed and anxious, you are not a machine with malfunctioning parts. You are a human being with unmet needs.
The only real way out of our epidemic of despair is for all of us, together, to begin to meet those human needs – for deep connection, to the things that really matter in life
This is a quote from an edited extract from Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions by Johann Hari.
The extract/book would be worth reading for those with an interest in something that seems to be pervasive throughout our society.
Medication is the go-to solution for many people/doctors - but does medication cure human needs?

Smoking and its benefits
I am inspired to write this blog because a friend of mine told me that there are indeed known benefits for being a smoker.
He said and I quote: It calms him down and that is a very good benefit.
I respect that.
Note: I lost 3 good friends from this habit and it was very sad, they were all under the age of 55.
Question: Are all smokers enjoy this benefit? Are there other benefits that you know of?
Are there hardcore smokers that you know of who would want to quit but can't?
Thanks all for reading and or comments if any.

Evidence that Covid 19 was around in November?
A good friend of mine works at a hospital lab in a big city. Well, she does not play any direct role in the scenario, but she might have prompted indirectly some of the action to be taken.
Anyway, she has just informed....
Her mom's boyfriend was very sick in November. His doctor thought he might have lung cancer, but it was later diagnosed as pneumonia.
Just recently, in fact the results were gotten today. He and his doctor decided to test him for the anti-bodies of Covid 19, and his test came back positive.....meaning he has had Covid 19.
Well...either he had the disease in November, or he caught the virus later on and never even knew he had it because there were no signs he had it.
I am not doctor, but if I was a betting man (and I am) I would put my money on the fact he had the virus back in November.

Waiting to hear from the dog-sitter
Trouble with taking in a rescue dog, especially a neurotic older rescue dog, is that she hates kennels. She thinks she's been dumped again, she goes into a decline, she loses weight and fur, and for 3 days after I come home she leaps to her feet every time I move, won't let me out of her sight, and does the whole Camille bit when I go to work - paw to her forehead, sagging limply against the wall -
Drama queen of note. Don't know where she gets it from. I blame the French bulldog side of her breeding. The other half is English bulldog, which means she looks French but twice the size - weighs 40 lbs and has a chest like an all-in wrestler.
So no more kennels. I have a dog-sitter who comes to the house instead. Well, I have a few in my little black book. People don't queue up to take care of a sweet little dog with unexpected steel jaws who has been known to bite first and ask questions afterwards when they enter the house. I've sent texts to them all and am waiting patiently for replies. So far one has a wedding (not her own, but she still doesn't want to cancel, I asked) one would have LOVED to but is painting her nails all next weekend, and one said no, that I had a cheek asking, and talking of cheek, the spot still hurts in cold weather and had I noticed how cold it has been lately?
Still waiting to hear from my dog's personal favourite, a strapping young lass with a crewcut, booming voice and tattoos. My dog adores her, and is adored in turn. Well, who wouldn't love that face?

Toxic People
Toxic people speak badly about others, are negative, lack compassion, take up way too much of your time, constantly have drama going on, lie to you, criticize you, talk more than they listen, play the victim, lose their temper, have to be right, treat others poorly, are self-obsessed, try to control you, have addiction issues. (Sue Fitzmaurice).
Seems to me that there are a lot of toxic or borderline toxic people about, I'm not sure if it's insanity or drugs or just people who moan and complain about everything and always have to have something medically wrong.
(This is not aimed at anyone here on CS but we all know someone toxic)
