We can't see each other or be together, because she is a nurse. It's a bit hard, but we know this "monster" will simply fade away in the same way it came.
Stay strong! Think positive!
He had strong fever, now he seems better, he is a young man so he seems recovering now, but it will be a long path, not exactly a simple flue, I am closed in another apartment, delivering him food out of his door, with gloves, mask and so on, then sanitizing even my shoes. Terrible, difficult.
But thank you Exy!

If you need anything, please just ask. I can always call my sister to "assist" us.
I know it is not easy, but we aren't alone! We can take care of each other! I am not saying this just because... I mean it.

I hope he's well now, Angie.
I have a cousin in Sicilia and more relatives in Friuli-Venezia-Giulia.

Got vaccinated 2 days ago. Need a follow-up shot later. Side-effects the following day: fatigue (but maybe I was just tired anyway from working long hours on a very long, tedious translation). Psychological effect: very encouraging even though we have to keep up the same precautions. Time required for the vaccine to become effective: 21 days.
We still don't know for sure how effective the vaccine is. Not even the experts know for sure. But chapeau to the researchers at Oxford Unive... See more Got vaccinated 2 days ago.

Euro-vaccine wars: I require the politicians to resolve this problem. That's their job. And we need to get everybody vaccinated where it's really needed, such as South Africa, Brazil, etc.

Make sure you keep us posted, Tom, please. I've been hearing about vaccines for a month now, and I haven't had a shot yet, but nobody seems to be saying anything about whether it works. Thanks.

It's good you were able to get your shot. I hope more and more people can be vaccinated as soon as possible. Over here we haven't even seen the "v" in "vaccine" yet, and all the hospitals are full...

isn't the vaccine that Tom was given recommended only for people of age between 18 and 65 years, as I have read in the Kieler Nachrichten today? Perhaps you should reconsider your guess then, Chris.
And what about the leaflet? No marks on any position? No comma left, no unusual phrase used?

Also in the Italian Newspapers and TV "AstraZeneca not recommended after 65 because experimentation was not sufficient"

And you mustn’t forget, this is not the AstraZeneca vaccine. This is the Oxford vaccine. We made it. It’s British. It’s therefore better than the others. It’s also ours, and you can’t have it. Would you like me to say that louder and slower for you?
The UK government has taken risks throughout the pandemic. These now include giving the vaccine to the elderly despite little testing (argument: it ought to work), getting as many first doses in as possible (it ought to work a bit), extending the gap between doses from three to 12 weeks (it ought to be OK) and even having one dose of one vaccine and one dose of another (it ought to be fine).
Unlike the previous gambles, this one may pay off. ▲ Collapse

Such as “However, a mild fever or infection, like a cold, are not reasons to delay vaccination”?
| | | | | | | I wish I was joking | Jan 29, 2021 |
Sadly I am not joking. That is the kind of political rhetoric we’re getting.
Interesting to hear that the Italians think they have a stake in the vaccine too. Never heard that before.
Maybe everyone does. Perhaps it’s also the German Oxford vaccine, because Heinz’s cousin once delivered a parcel there.
Seriously, though, the politics and the ethics of who gets the vaccines first are mind-boggling. Surely it ought to be countries in the developing world with weak health systems? We don’t hear anything about how they are coping.
