A friend contracted the dreaded Kraken variant (what's next, Godzilla?) at New Year's. Symptoms were mild (but he still tested) and he was prescribed Paxlovid, resulting in stomach discomfort far worse than the Cthylla head cold. People would rather risk injury from new drugs than suffer the annoyance of a cold with a scary name.

I am not surprised. It is not the coof that is killing these people. I think we all know what it is. I did my best to persuade people not to get the hokey pokey and I was successful with some. Perhaps I could have done more.

The problem is "educated" people methinks. Santiago Ramón y Cajal, the neuroscientist, once claimed that "brilliant" people can be a problem because they don't think they have to work hard (my paraphrase). Neil DeGrasse Tyson is an example of this. Recently, he has become painful to listen to. Not as painful as listening to these coof stories.

We are own our own. Looks like I have to become my own medical adviser.
