If you are looking for answers, SORRY. You are welcome if you are looking for QUESTIONS

  • I don't know why I felt good when the UK PM was diagnosed COVID +ve?
  • Why can't I write more when I have more time on my hands?
  • Why do I miss the noise and the smoke?
  • Why don't I feel threatened by the economic collapse that probably is around the corner?
  • I somehow am sure that I will be infected And survive and this has no logical basis- I just know.
  • Why is there virtually no other news on TV except about the virus, even talk shows are about the virus!

Staying away from regular work and getting more or less the same pay, should have been better but it is not. And I never worked to a strict timetable. The only think I can guess is that MAN DESIRES WHAT HE DOES NOT HAVE. But knowing about this maxim should straighten the thought processes. Well whatever!

This is just about my attitude throughout the day. Well whatever! It seems whatever I do matters very less, will not affect my future in any big way. And this negative thinking is just the culmination of ten days of lockdown.

Now that I have written about it I am worried for my mental health more than my physical. Hey! That is an improvement.

Why is there virtually no other news on TV except about the virus, even talk
shows are about the virus!

I've been sticking to fiction and movies, "the news" just seems to be the same two minutes of "information" on an endless loop.

I've finished six seasons of "Whose Line is it anyway?"

Nice.

See if you can find DEVS, Dispatches from Elsewhere, Better Call Saul, or Tales from the Loop, or Russian Doll, or DreamCorp LLC.

They're not even testing for antibodies. AND it's COV-2 (SARS). According to the official CDC website.

  • CDC is working to develop a new laboratory test to assist with efforts to determine how much of the U.S. population has been exposed to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19.

How does one virus "cause" another virus??

  • The serology test will look for the presence of antibodies, which are specific proteins made in response to infections. Antibodies can be found in the blood and in other tissues of those who are tested after infection.

Nobody has been able to identify (isolate) antibodies specific to COVID-19 yet. This makes all current testing inconclusive.

And, The World Health Organization,

They only claim to be able to identify genetic markers for COV-2 (SARS).

RT news had put up an article which said that the plasma treatment is under study and till now in 80% of the cases they have seen a good improvement in the health of the infected.
