Both my wife and I seem to have it. She’s NHS and I’m London Underground and haven’t till now stopped working. It was inevitable we would get it though. She’s a lot worse than me but in the grand scheme both mild symptoms. I would say the fatigue is extraordinarily and relentless. Every time I think it’s starting to subside and do I anything energetic, it gets back up with a frying pan and smacks me straight back down. I think the kids have it but virtually no symptoms, just a bit more grumpy and tired than usual. Although its a lot of doom and gloom out there, hopefully the vast majority of us only get these mild symptoms. Stay safe fellow fans of good music.

Get well soon Banjo!!!

They're now saying people can definitely catch the virus again where they previously thought it was unlikely.  I don't doubt either this bug is mutating either and there are now different strains as it spreads throughout the world.  The more strains there are, the more difficult a vaccine will be to develop.  We have never found one for the common cold for this very reason so what chance do we have with a new virus?

We can't stay indoors all our lives so this is coming back and as it mutates it's getting more dangerous.  I don't really have any hope for a vaccine.  The only infectious disease we've ever eradicated is smallpox.

Let's hope this one works eventually, in vitro works big time

I still have my doubts but stand to be corrected.

I am hearing plasma transfusions from covid survivors here in italy are much better than anything else, About 100 severely ill, all recovered, and it works fast, within few hours you already feel better, hope it's the final solution

Unfortunate turn of phrase...

? what do you mean ?

I mean it seems that plasma transfusions from covid survivors here in italy are much better than any other treatment,
a discovery by a doctor in Mantova, everyone in the study healed, it seems very good news

I guess I have to step in here. You both  are talking about the German Nazi expression "Endlösung", in English Final Solution, which was referred to the (in Nazi speech)  inhuman expression of "Jewish solution", which planned the and ended in genozide, Holocaust.

Now, first of all, Pensa is an not native English speaker. So even if "Final solution" has become a fix term in English language the same as in Germany, I find it a bit harsh from Dusty and also Pottel to push to it this somewhat secretly or almost arrogant way instead of just saying clearly what your problem is.

I am German and I read Pensa's post yesterday, believe it or not, and I absolutely did not think about that term the slightest, which of course is because I am not an English Native speaker myself. So maybe it's a little too much to ask from people who use not their mother tongue to care about really all historical and political intensions of any text? The good message of Pensa's post should have at least be commented by the two of you as well, don't you think? I am sure you will not intend to assume that Pensa used that term intensionally?

Somehow I knew you would reply. I only wanted to explain what dusty reffered to. As also people who are not English natives sometimes know the "meaning" of that expression.
