As I mentioned in another thread, Bron and I both did a rapid covid test (about $12 per test, from the chemist). Quite an interesting process - we were both clear negatives...

We are surviving pestilence central, AKA Melbourne! :{D

For the last one I had, the tech did something different. She had me blow my nose, and went nowhere near my brain with the swab. It was a pleasant change, and I tested negative, but left me with a shadow of a doubt. :?

Germans will be "vaccinated, cured or dead" by winter end, says health minister
From CNN's Stephanie Halasz
Germany’s Health Minister, Jens Spahn, didn't mince his words on Monday as he urged people to get vaccinated amid a Covid-19 surge gripping the country.

Spahn said he was certain that by the end of this winter, everyone in Germany would be “vaccinated, recovered or dead," in relation to the Delta variant.

And there will be some who have had the jab, then caught a mild form of covid, and then recovered. They will be the safest of all...
