The Virus

Virus 28th May 2020
Can you get the virus again after you have recovered the first time?  Scientists not sure but with other viruses, it is possible after a year to catch it again.  This can happen with common cold.  Also some people seem to recover from corona virus, then a few days later have to go back to hospital with breathing problems.  For many people it can take months to recover fully.
Vaccine update.  There are several advanced programmes of research to produce a vaccine and there are many technical papers.  It still remains unlikely that a vaccine will be available to ordinary people before next year.
In Denmark, they have trained a robot to carry out the virus checks.  It means health care workers don’t get infected.  They have produced a 3-D printed, disposable arm! (yes really).  Computer control so the robot arm hits the point in the throat of the person, so that the swab is exactly right.  Patient says surprised that the robot was gentle. Hmm …
Eurowings flight from Dusseldorf to Sardinia set off for 700 mile journey – nearly full plane.  But had to turn back.  Why?  Forgot to check if the airport in Sardinia was open … was not.  Still closed because of the virus.
