14.12.2021 Sunshine?

 ~~

Tuesday 14th 41F, dark clouds with early rain. Calm and dry at 08.30. Bright sunshine after 12.00 but still through thin cloud. Only a short walk in thick, 200m, patchy mist.

 After a bit of messing about online I have a fairly local appointment. For my third virus jab in early January. I was dropped off the 30 minute, log-in list. When the next, security and identity site didn't open properly. When I reopened the main vaccine website a few minutes later I was allowed to log on. Very odd, but success in the end. 

 Omicron infections are doubling every two days. That's exponential! Everybody in the country/Europe/World will soon be exposed to the infection. Still no data on Omicron deaths. WHO says not to take it for granted that Omicron will mean milder symptoms.

A couple of medical experts on YT were suggesting high doses of Vitamin D and zinc.

Do your own homework before starting to take anything. We have been taking recommended doses of vitamins for decades. As well as having a varied diet with fruit, fiber, fish and veg. Organically produced whenever possible. We have always avoided all the "bad" foods. Usually found in snacks and takeaways.

The Arctic set a new high temperature record of 38C, 100F this year. Higher than ever recorded in Denmark. Which has a record of 36C. The high temperature lead to major losses of sea ice. Meanwhile, Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is looking ever more fragile. Its break-up would remove a major hurdle for the vast masses of ice built up behind it. Unlike sea ice, inland ice adds directly to sea level rise.
