5 years after it appeared, things we know and still don't know about COVID
Five years after the virus that causes COVID emerged in China it still holds some mysteries.
It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

After ditching #twitter some years ago for my own sanity. I'm hoping to reconnect with the decent humans that have also deleted their accounts and come to #bluesky

I'm in my 40s and also ended up in the hospital because of RSV + asthma. It's a nasty virus. I'll find the money - I don't want to go through that again. Hope your daughter is ok and avoids it this year.

Unfortunately, in the UK, the NHS has a very strict eligibility for that vaccine - over 75 or pregnant. If I want it, I'd have to pay. I was so unwell with RSV last year. It may be worth the Β£300

Thanks, Rosie. That's really helpful. That's pretty rubbish being out of stock at the start of winter!?!?

Hey, are you UK based? I'm trying to get an RSV vaccine. GP says I'm not eligible, tut. Can't seem to find any pharmacies that do them either. Any advice?
