Yes. But sadly our world is not set up like that. Society remembers those who make new discoveries. Correcting the record without making a new discovery is not well regarded. It’s a bit like the science equivalent of “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” If someone...

I would imagine the selection pressure of having vaccinated people in the population, would simply be that should a variant arise that our vaccine-generated-immunity can’t tackle, then that variant will spread faster than variants to which we are immune. So if covid becomes endemic (highly...

It’s worse than that! If he were a chef, he’d now be telling all the traditional chefs they have been completely wrong all these years, and they must now cook all their foods in the way McDonalds do it!

Good luck Peter.

That’s quite some read!

So tomorrow will be 2 weeks after my 2nd Pfizer, and yup that little boost I got in the week after the vaccine has now played out, and I’m back to my normal same old, same old. :P But on the up-side I should now be as immune as I can be, and that’s got to be a good thing. It’s interesting...

Thank you. We had some fun times, wee Patsy and me. :P

So I was vaccinated on Wednesday. Had a rough night with one of the dogs that night, resulting in a midnight visit to the vet, and the heart-breaking decision to let her go the next morning (yesterday). I felt a bit rough round the edges yesterday evening, but suspect that was as much the dog...

Biomedical science is a thing. My eldest daughter did a degree in this at Queen’s University Belfast. A quick Google shows that other Universities also offer such degree courses. https://www.qub.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/biomedical-science-bsc-b940/ My youngest daughter did Bioveterinary...

That’s really rough. It’s such a risk we take when our health is so vulnerable to change. Hoping things swing up again for you soon. xx

Going for my 2nd Pfizer today. Hoping the “slightly more energy” thing might happen again. :emoji_fingers_crossed::emoji_fingers_crossed: Will report back in a day or three.

@zzz Very interesting read. Thanks for sharing. :)

:) Thank you.

That wasn’t my experience with this one, and I used it daily for at least 3 years. Still have it, but it is used less often now. Perhaps it survived because of the cushions I used on it?

I think this is the chair from my 1st photo. Though it seems to have gone up in price! There are other ones on Amazon if you check. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Morris-Living-Recliner-Footstool-Charcoal/dp/B08R7V7C9R/

Remember support for your arms too, I have used rolled up towels and allsorts to lift my elbows to a height that is comfortable for typing without me having to hold them there. Looking at those Ergo chairs, I’m not sure they would stay reclined. Some only tilt back when you apply pressure...

One comment I will make, is that it is much harder to extract yourself from a reclined position. So honestly if your work are offering to pay a bit more for an electric version that gives you a hand in that direction don’t discount it, especially if it is a better quality and more supportive...

Here’s a set up I used for a while. It’s a padded chair with a foot stool. I added 2 cushions, one square one under me, and then an upright pillow behind me. I sometimes used one of those neck cushions too. I now use a more conventional arm chair with support behind my back, and the same...

I had Pfizer on Wednesday (17th March) and had a bit of tenderness at the vaccination site, and was a bit sleepy that afternoon. Since then I’ve pretty much stayed around my normal. Perhaps slightly more energy over the weekend, but that might just have been the beautiful Spring weather we had...

Interesting. I have a Fitbit, which seems to measure much less than your Garmin. However it regularly tells me I’m having cardio workouts, when clearly I’m not! Maybe it’s just that we have elevated HR on low intensity activity? I’ll admit, I’m tempted to upgrade my Fitbit to something like...
