COVID-19 Death No. 3



I didn't blog about our first two COVID-19 deaths. In fact, I hardly blog these days. So busy. But now I am thinking about fatality number three, and the reason is because I have been reading more about this pandemic. People who have underlying health conditions are at far higher risk of dying. What health conditions? They turned out to be so common.

Victim number three is a 70 year old who had been living with high blood pressure and cholesterol. The story used two bigger words: hypertension and hyperlipidaemia.

What if this unfortunate man hadn't suffer from high blood pressure and cholesterol? Would he have survived? But I think that is not the point. Who really knows? But his chances would have been much better if he had been healthier. That point was brought home very clearly in a nutritional supplement site which explained this well. It is an unusual website as well. The only one which bothered to explain its science far better than any out there.

COVID-19: Working from home


The daughter decided to buy this Philips LCD monitor for $109 to work from home than cart the one from her office desk.

How our lives have changed because of this coronavirus. We like to assume that everyone we know would be alive at the end of this. Who knows when this crisis will end? Really, we cannot rightly assume those we know and love will survive this either. We might not even survive ourselves. Just because the majority of us would live, each of us think we are chosen to survive. Better not be presumptuous. Live safely and securely. Look out for each other.
