Quite long but very educational.

Wow, talk about doing things the hard way. You sure got lucky you didn't have it worse. Lost two friends to it last year.

I am very sorry for your loss Neal. Don't know how lucky I was though. The disease does have a very high survival rate and while i'm (a little) old i'm still relatively fit and active. Most people, including my wife who could not have avoided catching it from me if it's anywhere near contagious as they claim, never even have a symptom at all, again according to what they say, so how lucky was I really? Certainly a damn sight luckier than your friends to be sure but I do miss the taste of good food. It's lack has made eating more of a chore than one might think.

@August i hope the smell and taste returns. I read that it can take months (up to five) to get it back, so there may be a chance.

Just a bit of an update about why the judge might have been subjected to an attack by the German state security forces.
Appears he's one those people they're afraid of. Quote:

Yes, it certainly seemed very contagious last year, with the cruise ships and Italian catastrophes. The early indicators prompted me to be zealously cautious. I was probably 10 times more cautious than I needed to be, but in the beginning I realized we just didn't know how bad it was or could be. The CDC and WHO couldn't know either, not sure they still do. They were drawing inferences based on the evidence and the evidence was changing all the time. My approach was, there were two phases, getting COVID and surviving COVID once you got it. I felt that I only could manage the first. Once you contract it, your fate was in God's hands. I hope your senses return, man, that's probably worse than people think. Catfish says in 5 months or less, fingers crossed.

I think mutations will continue to be problematic(India). Sorry to hear about your friends. The virus really does affect each individual differently. Feels like a crap shoot if one is infected.

The Frankfurter Rundschau writes:
Update from 04/29/21 5:58 p.m .: The developer of the Russian vaccine Sputnik V has announced a defamation lawsuit against the Brazilian regulatory agency Anvisa, which refused to import the vaccine. - Anvisa had "knowingly distributed false and inaccurate information" about the vaccine, wrote the Russian manufacturer on Thursday in the short message service Twitter. Anvisa justified the import refusal on Monday with a lack of data on safety and effectiveness.- Sputnik V has not yet been approved in the EU, but the EU Medicines Agency (EMA) has already started a so-called rolling process for the approval of the vaccine. - First report from 04/29/21 2:45 p.m .: Brasília - A Brazilian health regulator announced in a congressional hearing that the approval of the Russian corona vaccine Sputnik V by other countries does not mean that it meets Brazilian regulatory requirements. - The reason for this is, on the one hand, that the agency commissioned with the examination did not receive enough data to approve the Sputnik V vaccine. In addition, every single batch of the Russian corona vaccine for which data was available still contained replication-competent adenovirus. - The adenovirus vector vaccines are made by removing most of the adenovirus DNA information from the virus and replacing it with DNA to make coronavirus antigens. All adenovirus vector vaccines carry the DNA to make the coronavirus spike protein. Important parts of the original genome are removed so that they cannot replicate in the body. - Because of this, the news that the Sputnik vaccine contains replicating adenovirus came as a surprise to many. Big problems in the vaccinated population are not to be feared, but it remains an unnecessary risk. - This risk, of course, increases when such a vaccine is used in millions (or more) of people. In the eyes of the Brazilian government, it seems certain that some people could be harmed by this preventable problem. The rally in Brazil now calls into question the entire manufacturing and quality control process of the Russians. - Cases of counterfeit corona vaccine from Biontech and Pfizer are becoming more and more common. Sputnik V is also affected.

Sister and her husband have been living in India for a few years. Convinced them it would be prudent to return to Australia when it first broke out.
They were planning on returning soon, but I think they'll be here for quite a while yet. They've already lost 3 friends this week, and the list looks to be growing. Apparently, scammers are being caught selling "oxygen" bottles to the hospitals............. but they're turning out to be relabelled fire extinguishers.

I haven't been to church (in person) for a year now, but a friend of mine who is very active along with his wife have dropped out too.
No one is saying why just that they need to take care of each other. Probably Covid-19 and no one wants to scare the others. I miss them, but singing and dancing doesn't interest me with this contagious disease going around. Plenty of churches online with some good pastors live online too. My local area is rural and they have not been rushing to get the shots ... so the county is now offering $25 gift certificates for anyone that shows up to get a shot. I showed up along with a hundred more in line just to find out that I didn't qualify till I had waited 30 days after the first shot. Oh well it was good to see so many show up even if they had to be paid. I saw a cartoon with two well known comedians with one saying, "I don't have any symptoms" The other comedian says: "That's one of the symptoms"
