Thanks, Tickergroupie. I did scan all of the pieces about cars and computers, along with the comment sections, in the hopes of seeing stuff about covid. Sigh.

I have a close relative who was vaccinated fairly early on since he is seriously obese. I still think that was the right decision at the time (and anyway he wasn't going to listen to me about the hazards of the shot). Now I am trying to make sure he survives the shot, cognitively intact. All that I've come up with is ivermectin (which he is finally taking) and a daily drink to thin the blood to prevent clots. People around me seem to be deteriorating; I run into lots of people who seem as if they've had mini strokes. The vaccination rate here in Silicon Valley is very high. I hope it is my imagination.
