Where did the Coronavirus 19 originate from? and anything relative to the virus.
Coronavirus is 'uniquely adapted to infect humans': Top vaccine scientist says it could only have come from an animal through a 'freak of nature' - and the possibility it leaked from Wuhan lab MUST be investigated

Good to see your recovery Hola :)
Like you I've had my 4 Jabs and wear a mask when I am out
The other thing I do at home is always put the toilet lid down as the sewage can bring the Covid inside your home when you flush.
- hope Moderna brings out a Spring Booster.

Well, at last I can say I'm over the Covid virus. It did knock me around quite a bit, my Doctor thought I might have got one of the variants. I never knew I had that much mucus in my sinuses and throbbing throat. But that's all behind me now although I get a little tired towards the end of the day. So grateful I had all the vaccines otherwise I could have ended up in Intensive Care and never came home. I wear a mask now whenever I go to the shops.
