Was reading an article which listed excess death rates since the beginning of COVID. Believe it or not but Sweden has the lowest rate of excess deaths.Australia ranked 5 th or 6th and all the Nordic countries performed well . So it seems a mixture of approaches work well and not the one size fits all.
This weekâs figures at a glance.

Covid makes a return tour to the Chateau du Saladin. Dammit.
Symptoms yesterday, positive RAT last night. This time in one of the two that didnât get it last January.
I really donât want it again, typical crucial work week coming up before Christmas.

Hopefully you have set up the quarantine space and locked all infected persons in their rooms.
Hope all goes well and you manage to dodge it.

Last January my brother got it.
His son didnât get it, neither did the daughter but they did try and isolate within the household. His wife wasnât home, so she didnât get it.
This time around, the wife got it. So did the daughter. Son didnât and my brother didnât.
From what I can gather with experiences from friends and family, itâs similar symptoms. The cough is there. Extreme tiredness. The bone aches are there. Sometimes some struggle breathing. Not being hungry at all seems to have crept in. I donât if itâs tied to the loss of taste.
More people who get it seem to be struggling with it as well. And itâs in younger people (50s to 60s) that itâs hitting slightly harder.
The only trend I can tell is the ones it has hit have been those who arenât really up to date with vaccines. Everyone I know who have had it have only had their second or third dose. I thought it didnât matter so much as long as youâve had an infection before.
The one who currently has it has had the three entitled vaccines.
Iâve had two, the third coincided with me catching it, I felt pretty rubbish for months and in the end opted not to get the third.
Itâs certainly rampant all over the place. Spoke to the family member who works with the Covid wards, itâs nowhere near as bad as 12 months ago despite similar daily infection numbers. Most get a rough week at home âfeeling pretty â â â â and under the weatherâ.

Aaaand itâs back here too.
Almost no symptoms, just a quick onset of eye pain and a âdid I do a work out yesterday?â muscle pain.
4 shots of Pfizer and an infection within the last 6 months.
99% sure itâs from a F2F meeting in the office.
This one sentence was a roller coaster for me.
âResearchers said a limitation of their studyâŚ(ahh yes, the fine print, itâll be underpowered or something) was that data primarily (hmmâŚmaybe it was people vaccinated with J&J) came from white males. (Fk)â
So more likely to die or have serious issues. Thanks work colleagues for sharing covid.
I did debate whether or not to post this or delay until next week.
Hopefully you are just a normal case and nothing about this study applies to you.
