Breathing and Covid

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

One of the issues with Covid since the start of the disease has been breathing difficulty.

It turns out that the explanation for breathing difficulty may lie in the say mechanism that explains brain injury from Covid. The brain issue was discussed in a prior post back around the holidays. Lung damage is discussed in a new research report from the German Center for Infection Research.(1) This research team is led by Professor Christine Falk.

The disease triggers an immune system response — in some cases and excessive response. One of the things that this immune response can do is attack the endothelial cells which line blood vessels. The purpose of these cells, collectively called the endothelium, is to maintain the integrity of the blood vessels and prevent leaks of blood into tissue in the body where it doesn’t belong.

  • In the brain, leaks can kill tissue and break connections…

Madeira: Paul do Mar … same in English

Stella, oh, Stella

Heute stelle ich euch ein Kleinod vor (in meinen Augen), und zwar den kleinen Küstenort Paul do Mar. Wir ihr auf der Karte weiter unten sehen könnt, liegt er an der Südküste, westlich von Funchal. Hier gibt es enge Gassen und teilweise recht ungewöhnliche Gärten. Katzen und Blumen gedeihen gut in diesem kleinen Ort.

… Today I am presenting to you a little jewel (in my opinion), and that is the tiny coastal town of Paul do Mar. As you can see on the map further down, it is situated at the southern coast, west of Funchel. Here you will find the narrowest alleyways and partly rather unusual gardens. Cats and flowers thrive in this place.

Nach links überblickt man den ganzen Ort Paul do Mar. Der interessante Teil befindet sich um…

The Flesh is just a Memory

normabobb

Have we taken the time to question our existence? Do we know that like fishes we all swim in the same ocean? Lineage gives us an edge over others because of our connections, it doesn’t make us smarter and wiser than a person born outside of our lineage. Deriding, humiliating and castigating our fellow human beings doesn’t uplift us, it just shows how brutish and inhumane we are. The same fate that awaits the person we look down on, is the same fate that awaits us. We all die, though we know not when. Our money and status won’t save us, our connections won’t save us. We can’t take anything with us. We came with nothing and will leave with nothing.
