anna_wingHousekeeper and I continue to test negative.
Senior staffer is feeling better; one of the drivers is down, but not too seriously so far (fingers crossed).
My poor music teacher and her family, having survived Delta last year, got Omicron, but this time to a less severe degree. She was still sick for nearly a fortnight, though. The three doses of Sinopharm presumably helped a bit too. SHe is still suffering from fatigue and breathlessness from last year. Luckily she's not a singer.
I remain boggled at the European and UK decision to drop even the most basic precautions like masks right now. I understand that societally they have decided that the extra deaths are acceptable, that is their right as sovereign states, but isn't it still winter in the Northern Hemisphere? Masks protect against all respiratory illnesses, which are very prevalent at this time. Wouldn't it make more sense to wait until spring?
