More than 45% of study participants had at least one lingering symptom four months out from their initial infection. A quarter of the patients reported fatigue, and a similar number said they felt pain or discomfort. Meanwhile, sleep issues, breathlessness, and problems participating in normal daily activities were reported in just under a quarter of patients, according to the study.

NIGHT & THE CONTINUING FALLING VERSES OF…(10)

NIGHT & THE CONTINUING FALLING VERSES OF… (10)
[5th revision; 2019-2022]
days like these
April, a reminder
our big brothers
generally returned in sealed boxes
friends gathered
around the wet eyes
and long goodbyes…
so their Mothers could see
how they’ve rushed
putting them boxes together
the elevated paradise
the colour of rice porridge
in their eyes…
1
April
the country lay on a long bench
slept
dreamt
for a bunch of centuries
2
April
noon, there’s no sunlight
a fog
the citizens
like sheep in the meadows
in the streets
drifted…
3
April
the nation breaks in half
between two skies
the unplanned stroll
followed the tanks
to its destination
4
April
long ago
unhemmed, white nightgowns
a child came home
after dinner did their homework

“Stop plundering the sea floor”: Pressure mounts on deep sea mining company
It’s not often that I comment on stock market news (I am sure this must be the first time). But this is newsworthy!
A company that has been at the forefront of efforts to get deep sea mining under way, The Metals Company (TMC), received a delisting notice from the NASDAQ stock exchange on December 5. It had traded below US$1 per share at its closing bid price for the previous 30 days, sparking the delisting. Moreover, it is losing important investments.
Greenpeace USA takes up the story in a December 7 press release:
Greenpeace Aotearoa campaigner James Hita, who was in México to peacefully confront the ‘Hidden Gem’ – the TMC-commissioned deep sea mining ship – as it returned from test mining in the Pacific Ocean to the port of Manzanillo, México, says the falling stock price and delisting notice is another clear signal to investors in…

“We’re done with the virus but the virus is not done with us,” he added. At the same news briefing, Berkley said he expected demand for COVID-19 vaccines to remain strong in 2023. “We expect hundreds and hundreds of millions of doses to be requested. That’s what countries are saying they want,” he said.

Misinformation, vaccine concerns contribute to low COVID-19 vaccination rate among children: IU News (Me: no limit to disease stupid in US and many other nations)
“What our data show is that most parents in the U.S., even during these times of peak transmission, were not very concerned about the possibility of their household or their kids getting COVID,” said Calarco, associate professor of sociology in the IU Bloomington College of Arts and Sciences. “Only about 40 percent of all the parents in the survey said they were either very or extremely concerned about the risk of COVID.” Source: Misinformation, vaccine concerns contribute to low COVID-19 vaccination rate among children: IU News
Baba umama ma … Same in English
Ich brauchte mal etwas total Verrücktes und Ausgeflipptes und mein Mann fand es für mich: The Trashmen und ihr “Surfin Bird”. Schaut bis zuende, er flippt zum Schluss noch richtig aus. Das war ein Hit in 1963 … 😉
… I needed something totally crazy and flipped, and my husband found it for me: The Trashmen and their “Surfin Bird”. View until the end, he is going completely bananas at the end. This was a hit in 1963 … 😉
Was mich dann doch gewundert hat – ich las das bei Wikipedia – dass es sie anscheinend 2013 noch gab, immer mal mit Pausen und dann Wiedervereinigungen. Sie sind sogar auf internationalen Tourneen gewesen.
… What surprised me was – I read that on Wikipedia – that they seemed to be still existing in 2013, breaking up and reuniting from time to time. They even went on international tours.

Argentiniens einzigartige Naturwunder
Argentinien ist flächenmäßig das achtgrößte Land der Erde, es erstreckt sich von den Subtropen im Norden bis an den Rand der Antarktis im Süden. Dazwischen gibt es Attraktionen von einer enormen Vielfalt: Wasserfälle und extreme Berggipfel, Seenlandschaften und Salzwüsten, und es gibt Buenos Aires, eine der lebendigsten Metropolen der Welt. Von den vielen Naturwundern gibt es für mich jedoch nur zwei, die ich einzigartig finde und die unter allen anderen besonders herausragen: das ist einmal der Gletscher Perito Moreno im Süden Argentiniens und die Iguazú-Wasserfälle im Nordosten des Landes.
