I do not think we will ever be COVID-free again. But we may end up with a situation that will be "lnfluenza-like" so that it will be fine for most people. The thing is I am not so sure we are already there. My wife was someone in a good shape, and she is completely down (and still positive) for 4-5 days. Doing any single effort is basically burning out all her energy. Anyway, there is nothing much to do but waiting.
Thanks for the comments on the images chosen for this blog. It is actually very hard to find good (and free-to-use) images, as I don't have much time to create them from scratch (although this may be of course one of the last possible options).
i have started to think about what to discuss next Monday and I am a bit puzzled. Either again some simulation-related stuff, or maybe something more general about composite models. I still have a few days to think about that... ;)
Cheers and have a nice end of the week!
PS: I will be on your side of the pond for a week, very soon (namely in Boston area).
I am so sorry about your wife. Do you guys have the oral therapeutic (Pfizer’s Paxlovid)?
I wish knew enough to suggest a topic for next week's blog, but I don't:)
Travel safely, @lemouth. I wish speedy recovery for your family and continued negative tests for you.
No, this treatment is not proposed here to people who are simply sent back home when COVID-sick. My wife simply had some rest, and she is presently slowly recovering. The process is however very slow. I hope she will be better by the week-end, so that we could fully enjoy it. We will see!
