My Best Friend just tested Positive for covid-19.
No fever, slight cough but nothing crazy. Just fatigue and brain fog. She lost her sense of smell though.
Half of a family in my building has covid as well except for 1 person.

Maybe I just missed this detail cause this whole time I thought the vaccine was lifetime
Now they are saying they think the vaccines protects you for a year but they’re not sure yet
So right now it’s looking like these vaccines might be the new “flu shot”, an annual thing you have to get

Covid: 2020 saw most excess deaths since World War Two
Covid: 2020 saw most excess deaths since World War Two

The Covid pandemic has caused excess deaths to rise to their highest level since World War Two.
There were close to 697,000 deaths in the UK in 2020 - nearly 85,000 more than would be expected based on the average in the previous five years.
This represents an increase of 14% - making it the largest rise in excess deaths for more than 75 years.
When the age and size of the population is taken into account, 2020 saw the worst death rates since the 2000s.
This measure - known as age-standardised mortality - takes into account population growth and age.
The data is only available until November - so the impact of deaths in December have not yet been taken into account - but it shows the death rate at that stage was at its highest in England since 2008.
The data on deaths can be confusing.
On one hand, excess deaths are at their highest since World War Two, while on the other, death rates, once age and size of population are taken into account, are at their worst level for a little over a decade 'only'.
How should that be interpreted?
Excess deaths are basically a measure of how many more people are dying than would be expected based on the previous few years.
Clearly, 2020 saw a huge and unexpected rise in deaths because of the pandemic, just as World War Two led to a sudden jump.
But in determining how much those jumps affected the chances of dying, a measure known as age-standardised morality, which takes into account the age and size of the population, is important.
It shows the pandemic has undone the progress made in the last decade or so. That is significant - especially given this has happened despite lockdowns and social-distancing measures to stop the spread of the virus.
But it also helps put the death toll over the past 12 months in a wider context.
King's Fund chief executive Richard Murray said the picture was likely to worsen, given Covid deaths were rising following the surge in infections over recent weeks.
"The UK has one of the highest rates of excess deaths in the world, with more excess deaths per million people than most other European countries or the US," he said.
'It will take a public inquiry to determine exactly what went wrong, but mistakes have been made.
"In a pandemic, mistakes cost lives. Decisions to enter lockdown have consistently come late, with the government failing to learn from past mistakes or the experiences of other countries.
"The promised 'protective ring' around social care in the first wave was slow to materialise and often inadequate, a contributing factor to the excess deaths among care home residents last year.
'Like many countries, the UK was poorly prepared for this type of pandemic."
Matthew Reed, of the end-of-life care charity Marie Curie said the focus on Covid should not hide the fact there has been a "silent crisis" of deaths at home.
He said people have died prematurely in 2020 from other causes - with a big jump in deaths at home.
"We are concerned many have not had the care they needed," he added.

More than 20 million people have been quarantined just weeks ahead of biggest holiday of the year
Wall Street Journal
China is battling its biggest coronavirus outbreak in months, imposing lockdowns on hard-hit areas, quarantining more than 20 million people and urging citizens to forgo unnecessary travel as the Lunar New Year holiday approaches in February.
The tightening, which comes during northern China’s coldest winter in a generation, underscores official skittishness nearly a year after authorities shut down the city of Wuhan to contain the initial outbreak.
On Tuesday, China’s National Health Commission reported 42 new cases of locally transmitted symptomatic infection, a day after recording 85 such cases—its highest daily count in six months.
The bulk of the recent cases have been detected in the northern province of Hebei, which surrounds China’s capital city of Beijing.
Local authorities in the city of Langfang on Tuesday placed its five million residents in home quarantine for seven days while rolling out citywide testing. Authorities had imposed similar measures on the provincial capital of Shijiazhuang last week, barring people and vehicles from leaving the city and halting public transportation within the city.
Hebei’s provincial government has also postponed an annual policy-setting meeting that typically gathers hundreds of top officials and political advisers, which precedes China’s national legislative conclave in March.
For the tens of millions of Chinese citizens who crisscross the country during the Lunar New Year for their annual family reunion, the rising case count means a second straight year of disruptions to the most important holiday on the calendar.
In recent days, provincial and municipal authorities across China have encouraged their citizens to refrain from travel during the festive season, which begins this year on Feb. 12.
Lavine Luo is heeding the advice. The 24-year-old Ms. Luo, who works for a state-owned enterprise in Beijing and therefore felt an extra sense of duty to comply, scrapped her plans to return home to the southern metropolis of Guangzhou after a string of infections emerged in December.
“I’m used to it by now, after all that has happened last year,” she said.
Others are still holding hope of a reversal in the situation in the coming weeks.
Nie Zimeng, a 26-year-old Shanghai-based fitness coach, wants to hold off on making a decision about visiting her parents in the northeastern city of Shenyang until February. “If the infection numbers are staying high or getting worse, then I’ll stay put,” she said.
An online poll conducted last week of more than 15,000 people by Banyuetan, a magazine published by the state-run Xinhua News Agency, found respondents almost equally divided between those choosing to forego travel, those anxiously waiting and those hurrying home for the festivities.
In recent months, Chinese authorities have turned to a familiar playbook of targeted lockdowns, mass testing and travel restrictions to smother outbreaks.
On Tuesday, Zhang Wenhong, a public-health expert and director of the infectious diseases department at Huashan Hospital in Shanghai, wrote on China’s Twitter -like Weibo platform that he was confident Hebei would suppress the outbreak within the next month.
At the same time, health authorities are vaccinating millions across the country, though that is unlikely to change the picture dramatically before next month’s holiday.
Beijing’s municipal government said Monday it had inoculated more than one million residents and aims to vaccinate more than 100,000 residents a day until Lunar New Year, at more than 240 sites across the city. On Saturday, Chinese health officials said they had administered vaccines to more than nine million people and planned to inoculate 50 million key workers nationwide before the start of the long holiday.
Even so, public-health officials have been warning about greater risks of new infection clusters emerging throughout the winter, particularly from asymptomatic carriers.
The National Health Commission has urged citizens to limit gatherings and to shop online. Some local governments have offered extra wages to workers who don’t return to their hometowns over the long holiday, while private companies have been asked to stagger holidays to reduce the throngs of travelers.
