  • Bond and COVID-19

    There is not much to do but to stay careful with regard to the Corona virus. Meanwhile, there are a lot of films and series you can watch. I don’t know why, but I got reminded of James Bond today. I thought “wasn’t he going to make another movie?”. So I browsed the internet and found out that he has postponed his film due to COVID-19. He and his team seem to have released some appetizers. They always have a theme song, and this must be their introduction to “No time to die”. Anyway, I don’t know, but it is a beautiful melody.

  • Antibodies and “Qui vivra verra”

    The Corona virus is very close. A lot of people have been infected, sick, recovered or died. Ordinary life has been changed and we have adapted. I am thinking of immunity and the development of antibodies. Or perhaps diplomatic immunity? To be little, little exposed to the virus is good, but not in a huge dose. Some companies are making money due to the Corona virus. Like in wars, where some organisations make profits in disastrous conflicts. Ethics on a high level. The USA government has recently funded the industry for developing a vaccin.

    There is no evil that does not bring good. The Corona virus has globalized us. Borders have been closed, but at the same time the world is closer. This is a very good opportunity for countries to collaborate and learn from each other since there will be new globalized viruses. New pandemics. The WHO has a lot of work to support educational fraternal alliances. When a new virus will emerge, it will be very important to try to isolate it rapidly and stop the high-speed spreading. To learn from what happened in Wuhan in China 🇨🇳.

    Physical distancing is important. To remember (1-)2 meter distance from people around you. But on the other hand, in these times you need to socialise. Call your friends, have a chat. Talk. Laugh. Try to do things that makes you feel good. Make a cake. Remember physical distance, not social distance. Italy 🇮🇹 has suffered a lot in this crisis, and I share this urban, global song with you on the theme “comfort”. I am approaching, slowly learning Italian, and I found this beautiful part in the lyrics.

    Sarà la pioggia d’estate o
    Dio che ci guarda dall’alto
  • COVD-19 “Nu töms ladorna”

    This is an expression by Minister of Finance in Sweden. A “Lada” is a house in the countryside for farmers where, for example, hay can be stored, or various machines such as a tractor. In good times the “Ladas” are filled with harvest, and in bad times the harvest is being used. COVD-19 has definitely led to difficult times for “Ladorna”. The “Ladas” are soon empty. It has been said that the taxes will increase in Sweden. Maybe even tougher times to come. I am still very careful with washing my hands. Of course I miss sweetie and cutie due to social distancing. No need to say. Stay safe!

    By the way, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should start to use Instagram to report and communicate their work to voters/taxpayers.

  • Anti-inflammatory food 🍅

    Food is difficult. Food is pleasure. Food is life. I could continue for a long time, but I think you understand what I am pointing at. I love cooking, that is one of my main hobbies, but sometimes so called “junk” food can also be fine. These days when you don’t have time. I am waiting for some books about anti-inflammatory food that I ordered. Your state of mind is very dependent on what you eat, and I have heard a lot about anti-inflammatory food. So I am looking forward to reading and also to practice. It will be interesting to read if Mediterranean food is included. Healthy and tasty food like fresh tomatoes filled with so much sunshine.
