It is common here to share the same glass when drinking with others.

I suspect that sharing a glass might be the second most effective way of spreading covid next to kissing.

 

Bhutan has vaccinated 90% of the eligible population by 27th July, so now probably higher. In case we thing 'eligible' means a very small group, read this: "Health workers organized vaccinations at community centres but also conducted home-visits to vaccinate the elderly and people with disabilities and trekked to higher altitudes to reach the nomadic herders. Children aged 12-17 years in the high-risk areas along the southern border towns are also receiving COVID-19 vaccines."

Bhutan, as some may know, measures GDP in terms of happiness.

 

My heart specialist whilst in China (Dr Zhongmin Liu) was, and is, world renowned and even put the insurance company in their place on my behalf. He recommended 3 glasses of red wine per day for good health. When asked what size glasses he just smiled - so I try to maintain 3 x 250ml glasses per day which prevents the accumulation of unfinished bottles.

I had an Australia cabernet after both jabs. And I have it most nights. And I will have it tonight. Looking ahead, tomorrow night too. Sinovac jabs

 

There is no evidence that having a drink or two can render any of the current Covid vaccines less effective. Some studies have even found that over the longer term, small or moderate amounts of alcohol might actually benefit the immune system by reducing inflammation.

 

I think you are very optimistic that they are capable of holding vaccines at any given temperatures for set periods of times! If they said: Let them lie around some non-cooled area for a very long time whilst everyone sits in a tent or does some singing and dancing practice, then I think they would manage.

 

Going to the VA clinic in Manila isn’t going to work for me with all the travel restrictions, flights, and the Delta variant surge.
Contacted the local barangay health clinic last week..they coordinated with the city health department last Friday and set up an appointment for me to get the Janssen Jab tomorrow at Robinsons. Several weeks ago I did turn down their kind offer of Sinovac.

 

My wife had her J&J jab at the VA Manila clinic. In and out in an hour. No after effects so far. They are taking walk in 10 am till 2 pm. I am vet, but no disability, open to all vets and their spouses.
