Coronavirus Update From New York City: February 3, 2022
I hope all of my readers are remaining healthy and safe, regardless of where you live.
I thankfully continue to remain COVID-free. I am grateful for that because, to be honest, even among those I know who have “mild” symptoms, there can still be certain symptoms that linger for quite a few weeks after they first test positive. For example, I know of people who, even though they have mostly recovered from the virus, still have lingering coughs that they are so incredibly tired of. Even “mild” COVID is no fun, albeit it is nothing compared to landing in the hospital with the virus.
Where I live, cases continue to decrease, and the number per cases per 100,000 people is at its lowest level since right before the holidays. Such numbers (as well as numbers when it comes to the percentage of people testing positive) is still relatively high compared…

First, though, regarding the podcast at the start of this post, over the time…

German vaccine body backs fourth COVID-19 shot for most vulnerable | News | DW | 03.02.2022
Germany’s expert vaccine commission, the Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO), came out on Thursday in favor of fourth COVID-19 vaccine doses — or second booster shots — for people belonging to particularly at-risk groups.
The commission recommended that people aged 70 and over, people with immunodeficiency, and people who live in in care facilities, as well as employees of care and medical facilities, should all be given a fourth dose.

¿Vivir?

¿Vivir? Caray, qué pregunta. Vivir consiste, parece, en detener la marcha cotidiana, voltear a los lados y sonreír a la gente que se encuentra cerca y lejos, aliviar el hambre de los miserables e impedir que alguien muera por enfermedad o tristeza. ¿Vivir? En eso estamos, aunque a veces olvidemos quiénes somos y cuáles son nuestras encomiendas. ¿Vivir? Lo hacemos desde el nacimiento, en el cunero, con el aprendizaje y los juegos de la infancia, con las ocurrencias y las inquietudes de la adolescencia, con las ilusiones de la juventud, con los asuntos de la madurez y con los pasos de la ancianidad, hasta un instante previo a la muerte, a la sepultura. ¿Vivir? Me consta que se vive al amar, al hacer el bien, al disfrutar cada instante con sus luces y con sus sombras. Se vive, según…

Admira la belleza física, disfruta un vestido o cualquier prenda, luce una alhaja con estilo, goza el privilegio de morar en una residencia y de poseer autos y hasta de viajar en avión, en barco o en yate; pero nunca detengas tu travesía, no ancles en cualquier muelle con aspecto de puerto, evita distraerte en un romance de apariencias, porque no es recomendable dejarse seducir por destellos pasajeros. Hasta los rostros de mayor hermosura, se marchitan, envejecen y mueren algún día. Las riquezas se desmoronan, mudan a otras manos, se acaban. Estás en el mundo, con vida suficiente, y es natural que te encanten sus cosas, lo cual es legítimo; pero no te atores en rendirles culto, y menos olvides la riqueza que mora en tu interior, con sus motivos y sus sentidos. Sé auténtico, digno y libre. Disfruta…

Self Care
We have to take the time to find out who we are at our core. If we don’t we will be like fallen leaves that are blown by the wind. Loving ourselves and spending time with ourselves opens our eyes to why we do what we do and how we can change the things that impede our growth.
