Has it really been that long?

So, after a nearly 5 year hiatus, I think I'm ready to blog again, maybe on a weekly basis? Time will tell. This last year has been crazy. I'm not a heavy socializer anyway, but it has been strange not going out to dinner occasionally, or visiting friends. I miss the human contact. The only hugs I get lately are from my favorite chiropractor. He's semi-retired and doesn't go out much either, so we take our chances and don't bother with gloves and masks. We both have always had decent immune systems. 

It's probably been 25 years since I had a nasty virus. Christmas 2019 my daughter and I both had what I'm convinced was a mild case of Covid-10. My GP is certain that they saw their first case 2 months before that. My problems were mostly upper respiratory and wouldn't quite let go, but hung on for months. 

Vaccines? I'm still undecided. Maybe the J & J, if it's ever released. I'm not big on vaccines with my auto-immune problems. I think that in some cases they just weaken your own natural immunity. We're too much of a big Pharma society. Pills for everything and big bucks for the drug companies. As for drug testing, let's just say that I don't trust all of them. I was tossed out of a final phase test of one very expensive drug because of a bad potential problem. I'm sure my records were deleted. If it happened to me, how many others were also excluded at the first sign of a problem? 

For now, we just continue social distancing and masking and hope for the best. One good thing is that I haven't had a cold since all of this started, just my usual sinus allergies. I can live with that. 

That's it for now. Signing off. Maybe I'll be back next week.
