11/12/21 Lateral Flow, and Omicron

Did Pill Organisation yesterday morning, despite feeling thoroughly off-colour and viral (not that virus!). Did a Lateral Flow Test, which turned out as negative as all the others. It'll be a real shock if and when one actually goes the other way. Otherwise,footled around in the house, beat my activity target, and felt much better by mid-afternoon tea. That's cats and people - temperature is too cold for feeding the fish now.












The Omicron variant of COVID is spreading like wildfire - it's obviously extremely transmissible. But it seems to be becoming clear that triple vaccination is a good defence against it, and that the results of infection are usually very mild (not that I'm planning on taking any chances). The virus is adapting to its host - it does COVID no good if it kills the people it infects. Darwinian evolution in action - viruses always reach an evolutionary equilibrium with their hosts. In biological matters you rarely go wrong by going back to Charlie D.

Nothing else new apart from breakfast later this morning. More about that in the next update.
