Terrible Dreams...
I lost a long-time friend last year. His death was was a result of pancreatic cancer. While he sought many painful treatments including chemotherapy with chemicals being pumped through his veins, none worked. He withered away and died. I saw a photo of him shortly before his death and it's 180 degrees from a year or two earlier.
For some unknown reason, in my dream I was visualizing this agonizing death and the suffering he went through.
Living through pancreatic cancer has a very low success rate, less than 7%

Indian health system overwhelmed
Covid has its grip on India . News item on our radio saying that the Indian hospitals are out of oxygen . Victims were two per bed in some places .
With the new variants it will soon become clear if the vaccines will protect victims against all variants , or one for that matter . 2 or 3 of our front line workers have caught covid after being vaccinated , not enough to get a clear picture to see if any worthwhile protection can be gained by vaccination . Thankfully , I'd rather not know than have alot of NZ's infected to prove a point .
china has offered help , best thing they could do is nuke themselves

No. WHO did not Order countries to stop doing lockdowns. Information blog.
Some people have said that the WHO expressly ordered countries to stop using lockdowns. This is Patently false.
This is what the Covid-19 envoy said last October. As usual what is being said here is a vast over simplification of what the hated org actually said.
But lets actually check what WHO's policy actually is on Lockdowns. I know you will be shocked at this, but they don't say stop using lockdowns
As you can see its a much more nuanced approached, recognizing that lockdowns are a damaging tool that are to be used wisely and when necessary. Not forbidden. India could be a case for a lockdown by that definition, so WHO would probably agree with someone like Eprib.
In any case, screaming that situations are all because of WHO banning Lockdowns is hilariously false.
This is what the Covid-19 envoy said last October. As usual what is being said here is a vast over simplification of what the hated org actually said.
In response to: A COVID-19 envoy appointed by Director-General of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has appealed to world leaders to stop resorting to lockdown to control the pandemic.
Dr David Nabarro, who has spent his career working for the WHO and the United Nations (UN), seems to have marked a departure from the global health body’s early stance on the COVID-19 pandemic, warning about the economic and social consequences of lockdown as a means of controlling the spread of the disease.
On Sunday, Dr Nabarro appealed to world leaders to stop ‘using lockdowns as your primary control method’, insisting that such drastic measures can have a dire impact on global poverty rates.
Speaking to The Spectator, the British doctor stated: ‘We in the World Health Organisation do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus.
‘The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganise, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your health workers who are exhausted, but by and large, we’d rather not do it.’
Dr Nabarro went on to say that developing economies had been indirectly affected by lockdown measures, adding: ‘Just look at what’s happened to the tourism industry in the Caribbean, for example, or in the Pacific because people aren’t taking their holidays.
‘Look what’s happened to smallholder farmers all over the world — look what’s happening to poverty levels.
‘It seems that we may well have a doubling of world poverty by next year. We may well have at least a doubling of child malnutrition.’
Dr Nabarro continued: ‘Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer.

In response to: What is WHO’s position on ‘lockdowns’ as a way of fighting COVID-19?
Large scale physical distancing measures and movement restrictions, often referred to as ‘lockdowns’, can slow COVID-19 transmission by limiting contact between people.
However, these measures can have a profound negative impact on individuals, communities, and societies by bringing social and economic life to a near stop. Such measures disproportionately affect disadvantaged groups, including people in poverty, migrants, internally displaced people and refugees, who most often live in overcrowded and under resourced settings, and depend on daily labour for subsistence.
WHO recognizes that at certain points, some countries have had no choice but to issue stay-at-home orders and other measures, to buy time.
Governments must make the most of the extra time granted by ‘lockdown’ measures by doing all they can to build their capacities to detect, isolate, test and care for all cases; trace and quarantine all contacts; engage, empower and enable populations to drive the societal response and more.
WHO is hopeful that countries will use targeted interventions where and when needed, based on the local situation.

Another reason to avoid the dentist..
A personal friend made an appointment with an NYC dentist. She went to his Bronx office this week and was told to wait in her car. After awhile (about an hour) when she saw other patients leaving she again asked if they were ready for her and was told not yet. As she walked back to her car the Dental receptionist came out and snuck up behind her and with a letter opener or scissor began stabbing my friend in the back of the head. My friend suffered an immediate concussion and fell unconscious to the ground but the employee then knelt down and began stabbing my friend in the face and torso until bystanders approached. At that point the dental assistant fled the scene.
Here is the TV news story about the incident.
My friend is at home recovering after surgery and stapling of her wounds. I have photos that are too bloody for TV or here of the wounds. She has retained a personal injury lawyer. A felony warrant has been issued for the Dental employee who as of this writing remains a fugitive.
Dental visits are usually scary enough. Now we have a new fear. Homicidal dental assistants.

IT is NOT over!
Why are people acting like the pandemic is over and done with. So many mixed messages aren't helping either. Herd immunity. No one has said the shot bestows immunity. Nor having the virus. All it they do is hopefully stop one from ending up in hospital or dead. One can still get it and still spread it. Especially to anyone without the shots. Look around the US and see crowds of people, no masks, no distancing, no precautions. Now numbers are going up around the world. New variants are causing a more capable virus to spread. It is what viruses are good at.
And the double speak from the medical confuses even more. Kids are safe. Oops, they are catching it, spreading it and DYING. You don't have to wear a mask if you got the shot. EXCEPT. And no one catches that except part. The shots are safe, except for those few it isn't. Not much consolation to the unlucky person that happens to be one of those FEW!
Your freedom stops at my nose. So my life will continue on being compromised by YOUR freedom. And my safety is in my hands. I don't care about rights, conspiracies, politics, self centered fun and all the rest. I know people personally who got sick. Don't care if numbers lie. Don't care if it is man made, nature made or how it happened.
The bottom line is there is a virus out there after humans. Use your brain. It is not a joke to the people who are long haulers.. nor the ones who dies or lost someone. When, where, how, why..doesn't matter.
Now go play Russian roulette with 5 bullets in the chamber. Good luck. I wont. Hope all you morons catch it and suffer greatly. And stay away from me!

Back to Work
Good day CS!
Just an update on my health status: Still alive! Thank you.
I was just discharged 4 days ago. No more symptoms. Although, i still easily get tired when I exert effort, that I forget about a lot. PCR samples were not taken anymore before discharge as the doctor said after 10days a patient should be non-contagious if without any symptoms. So I take his word for it. Also it was stated in the guideline from the ministry of health here that was adapted from WHO. So I just trust them. I still make precautionary measures when talk to other people though. In case.
Anyway, I am set to go back to work tomorrow. Im kinda excited to go do something after being away from work for 18 days. I hope its going to be a productive day tomorrow.
Happy Easter everyone
