Meanwhile, I'm continuing to follow protective/prevention guidelines and use an N95 mask now that they're more readily available. I'll do this regardless of the increasing tendency here for many to disregard such precautions I think is premature. joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-9853902002385087332022-02-16T04:54:04.954+01:002022-02-16T04:54:04.954+01:00I'm another 57 baby.

I'll let you know: I once fell asleep while getting a MRI. Is that not insane? I was also reading your post about your father's birthday. Mine's was today, he would have been ninety. He died last month. Like your dad, he could be a real shit to all three of his children. We talked about his shiftiness frequently. And now one sister feels guilty. Enough of that, I say.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052375488090209961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-23627439222185664732022-02-15T09:02:46.833+01:002022-02-15T09:02:46.833+01:00To that list of sublime tasks you may like to cons...To that list of sublime tasks you may like to consider including the fantastic bouts of imagination that lie at the heart of expenses claims for editorial work.

But the immune system also heavily relies on the so-called T-cell memory and to date, there is no rapid, reliable test for this. However, there are solid findings, not just in connection with covid, that T-cell memory plays a major role in any vaccine and that it remains fairly stable after a third covid vaccine provided the immune system is not too aged/compromised.<br />Bear in mind:<br />While an antibody test can only tell you if it's likely you've had covid before, some people who’ve had the virus or the vaccine do not have antibodies. This test cannot tell you if you're immune to covid and whether you may infect others.Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-1983524240155235762022-02-10T09:03:16.844+01:002022-02-10T09:03:16.844+01:00I haven't heard a 4th shot was actually being ...I haven't heard a 4th shot was actually being given to people yet. I recall hearing talk of this as a possibility and can well imagine the 1st booster's antibodies would decline at some time interval making another booster wise. I'll be checking to see what they do here in the U.S. Wonder if we should be tested to determine the status of our antibodies or maybe their decline is pretty much the same for all after their last booster?<br /><br />Enjoyed the video!

Strawberry pancakes planned for brunch. The birds have been mobbing the bird feeder during these four really cold days. <br /><br />I haven't heard anything about a fourth jab but I did wonder if we would be getting a shot every year like some people get a flu shot (which I don't). It's nice to know that perhaps if I get it (I'm out and about more than my husband) I may not pass it on to my husband especially since we sleep in separate bedrooms as his breathing is already compromised. We are triple jabbed.<br /><br />We started watching Station Eleven, just saw the 4th episode. I may seek out the book.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-1504012126277113012022-02-06T15:28:44.390+01:002022-02-06T15:28:44.390+01:00I will take whatever boosters are offered.
