Astra-Zeneca stage 3 trial is halted after zombie outbreak in England.
"A number of different reactions that can qualify as suspected serious adverse reactions, are symptoms that require hospitalization, life-threatening illness and even death. "
We know what that means...zombies.

I have to do some work at the Bio-Manufacturer that will produce a vaccine for Moderna, never a dull moment in my job.
Last week, I was chasing tugboats and eating scallops. Next month, it's a zombie outbreak..

"Moderna’s vaccine, mRNA-1273, is a synthetic messenger RNA that encodes for a protein found on the surface of the novel coronavirus. By compelling cells to produce that protein, the vaccine would spur an immune response, causing the body to generate antibodies that would protect against infection."

Actually it was halted for Transverse Myelitis. The UK is cool with Zombies, didn't you watch Shaun of the Dead?

Well, it's official. I contracted covid-19 for the second time (test came back positive) :( About 3 months in between the first and second time. I became a little lax after recuperating the first time, mistakenly convinced that I was immune for at least a year. I've been playing a LOT of gigs, and usually the attendees are not diligently following the recommended guidelines. The good news is that the symptoms are less severe this time around - the body aches are about as bad, but the lethargy is not as pronounced, very few chest pains, and I only had one episode of labored breathing (the only symptom that frightens me) lasting about an hour. I've had the symptoms for about 5 days and they are fading quickly. I attribute this to some remnants of antibodies from the first round. This doesn't bode well for a vaccine in my mind, quarterly boosters may be needed to supplement the initial shot. My current fear is that this virus may be here to stay, mutating and lingering like the common cold. That would mean there may indeed be a 'New Normal', that includes social distancing and PPE from here on in. Sure hope I'm wrong about that. Stay careful out there, and keep your guard up...

Sorry to hear that. A recent report for discussion purposes would contend the costs attributed to your 2 bouts of Covid-19 to be around $100k. How much have you incurred in medical expenses as a result? It would be interesting to have a real time fact pattern.

Best of luck for a quick recovery.
