C'est la Vie

The battle with “COVID” continues. Unlike the “COVID” incident last July, there has been no acquisition of any over-the-counter pharmaceutical elixirs. Generic cough drops, Chloraseptic® Max sore throat lozenges, and a Vicks® VaporInhaler stick (acquired with Humana® Heathy Benefits+® card, formerly OTC Card) are all that being used to combat the pathogen. The main common ingredient is menthol which soothes the throat and acts as a decongestant. The symptoms, oddly, resemble the common cold … nasal congestion, post-nasal drip and associated coughing spells, sore throat, and loss of taste and smell.

Well, as posted in the Notes archive, the common cold is caused by a coronavirus. And, that’s what “COVID” really is. The mind is boggled by the sheer quantity of mucus that is generated by the body to block the nasal passages and create a post-nasal avalanche (which induces violent coughing and gagging spells). From prior experience, the duration of the infection is about three weeks to a month. If hydroxychloroquine was available here, the duration would be significantly less after treatment.

The daily routine remains the same even under illin’ conditions. A slight change is that dinner is procured earlier in order to facilitate an early return to the mausoleum at the “old folks home” in Waikiki. Chores and other personal duties are being fulfilled but not in an orderly manner.

Another tank top (black color) was ordered and received from Under Armour®, even though the last one has yet to be deployed. The old Everlast® tank top, acquired over 15 years ago, is still being worn at the gym. Synthetic fabric sure has a long “shelf life.”

There has been no attempt to contact immediate family about moms’ passing and the scheduling of the funeral. Illin’ could be used as an excuse, but the latter is not credible. However, in the Notes post titled, “Moms’ Dilemma,” of June 27th in the 2019 year, a vow was made to never attend another funeral again. And, the situation (and remedy) with immediate family was detailed in the post titled, “Notes from Hawai’i Kai,” on October 15th of the same year.

That is the current state-of-affairs. There was one other matter, that of the future of Notes. There was some banter either in Notes or the legacy “blog” that the ideal time to finally and permanently mummify this on-line presence would be appropriate after moms’ passing. In essence, the end of this family line is approaching. And, there simply is not much more to say.

Miscellany: Pain has been observed in the left cheek bone since a couple of days ago. The pain may be related to what may be the emergence of the last wisdom took in the upper left corner. The tooth does not appear to be normal.

Addendum: There was another two-hour bout of heart palpitations yesterday. Frankly, there is no reason to believe that any subsequent event of that nature won’t cause death. There will be no attempt to go to any clinic or hospital. Face masks are required in those institutions in Hawai’i. In addition, a bogus PCR test will be probably be required for admittance. The bogus test will most likely return a false positive. Then, forced “vaccination” and deadly Remdesivir treatments. Better to die with dignity.
