We are just filled with bugs of all kinds, and some of the bugs do turn out to be fatal.

I just received another notice from the management of the building I live in, announcing yet another case of COVID here in the building. That makes case #5. Actually probably not a bad record for a building with 58 units, all senior citizens.

The chances are that everyone here had to have a smallpox vaccination and other vaccines just to get into first grade. This is a new disease, and a new vaccine was needed.

We're very lucky that the people who know how to develop vaccines were able to come up with one. It's the only way to stop the serious illness and (often) death that this virus brings.
