Covid Risk Calculator – based on AstraZeneca vaccine

  • CoRiCal aims to help people make informed decisions about the risks versus benefits of COVID-19 vaccines.
  • These risks and benefits vary depending on age, sex, the number of doses of vaccine received, and the level of community transmission.
  • CoRiCal calculates estimates of the chance of different outcomes for your age and sex group per million people.
  • It is important to note that these are estimates of the average chance for people of your sex and age group, and does not take into account individual factors such as medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, obesity) or exposure risks (e.g. occupation).
  • Please remember that even if there might be low community transmission in your state now, this is most likely to increase over time as lockdowns end and borders reopen.
  • An upcoming version will include side effects of the Pfizer vaccine (myocarditis and pericarditis).
  • Future versions will include other conditions such as long COVID and ICU admission, and individual factors such as medical conditions.

Enya’s Orinoco Flow vs Prodigy’s Smack my bi*** up

Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA

I have chosen a mashup today. These are two very popular songs from the early or mid 90s, I believe. Orinoca Flow by Enya, popularly known as ‘Sail Away’ is a very serene and melodious song. Prodigy’s Smack my b***h up is quite the opposite. Electronic music was relatively new then and I tried really hard to figure out the difference between trance and techno those days. I had a college friend who had a lot of Prodigy CDs. Back then, owning a CD itself was a big deal, let alone an entire collection. I was quite the envy in my circle as I was still in school and I had access to all these CDs {with no player but!}

The Orinoco is one of the longest rivers in South America. The instrumentals paint a serene picture of subconscious tranquility. When I hear this song, I feel like Enya is…

Project “Weekly Photo Challenge” # 35 “Colorful” – Seniors around the world

The topic of Royusch-unterwegs Fotochallenge # 35 – colorful this time is “colorful”. In addition, there are immediately beautiful colorful pictures of the warm colors of autumn leaves. Since there are already many autumn pictures in my previous post about the Golden October in Cologne, I chose a different picture with bright colors. The photo shows the brightly colored colors in the winter prayer hall of the Nasir-ol-Molk mosque in Shiraz, which are projected onto the carpet of the hall in the morning by the colorful glass panes. We were in Iran in 2019, just at a time when you could travel there reasonably easily. Due to the uncertain political situation, only a few tourists were there, but in the winter prayer hall, just like in other religious sites, the more friendly Iranians gathered… Select link to continue… Source: Project “Weekly Photo Challenge” # 35 “Colorful” – Seniors around the world

Let’s go!

De malinha pronta

What if we only have two minutes left?
What if the stars fall from the sky?
What if our friends are no longer here?
What if the sea drowns all the fishes?
What if there is no future anymore?
What if Earth swallows us up?
What if our family leaves us behind?
What if the sun doesn’t rise?
We must not waste time
Let’s go!
