New variants will appear for a few years yet . Covid will here for years . No point in worrying. What ever will be will be
Very sad I agree. However living with covid will become the norm. Living with variants included. And I intend do just that until I go upstairs.
https://nutrition.bmj.com/content/early/2021/05/18/bmjnph-2021-000272After adjusting for important confounders, participants who reported following ‘plant-based diets’ and ‘plant-based diets or pescatarian diets’ had 73% (OR 0.27, 95% CI 0.10 to 0.81) and 59% (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.17 to 0.99) lower odds of moderate-to-severe COVID-19 severity, respectively, compared with participants who did not follow these diets. Compared with participants who reported following ‘plant-based diets’, those who reported following ‘low carbohydrate, high protein diets’ had greater odds of moderate-to-severe COVID-19 (OR 3.86, 95% CI 1.13 to 13.24). No association was observed between self-reported diets and COVID-19 infection or duration.
Except for those who still catch it and die. Not forgetting their families, too. 147 deaths recorded today, 149 yesterday and 165 the day before. In three days, that makes 461 deaths = 1,075 per week. Sad, isn't it...
Every one has their own agenda . Live with it or live with in and out of restrictions . Like you I've had all three jabs , so I'm certainly not going to worry about something I may or may not get , when I already have another killer disease bubbling under. Selfish??? Maybe to others but not to meThat's fair enough, Chesh, but what about those who don't want to?
Thanks to Salfordimp for tagging me so I found this thread. And thanks to Impede especially for posting what is for me a particularly interesting article. For the last few years I have been moving towards a plant-based diet and finally went 100% that way when we went into lockdown in March last year.For those worried about Covid, this is interesting

I was pissed off because of the unjustified decision of the UK government to leave SA on the red list when our situation had improved significantly and was far better than countries on the green list. And the decision not to recognise our vaccinations (mainly Pfizer) was even more ridiculous. Thankfully within 2 weeks the UK reversed both those decisions.Clive was pretty pissed last time UK changed rules, if I had a concern it would that he starts to think it’s too much hassle.

Whether it played a part or not I obviously don't know but a serology test earlier this year indicated I had strong Covid antibodies despite not experiencing any meaningful Covid symptoms at any time since the start of the pandemic.
Delighted to hear that so many are obviously on a plant-based diet.Along with approximately 30% of the total population who contracted the virus Clive...
