Sad news. I liked and respected the man. All the more reason to get the booster shot, especially if you are over 60.

Agreed. Even being fully vaccinated with a booster there’s still no guarantees. But at least it gives you a better chance if you catch it. Sorry to see him go. Very well respected and a gentleman. He will be missed.
His immune system was greatly weakened by cancer.
Full vaccination isn't very effective for people like him.
A new Delta descendant is rising in the U.K. Here's what to know
British and international authorities are closely monitoring a subtype of the Delta variant that is causing a growing number of infections in the United Kingdom.
British and international authorities are closely monitoring a subtype of the Delta variant that is causing a growing number of infections in the United Kingdom.
This descendant of the Delta variant, known as AY.4.2, accounted for an estimated 6% of cases in the week of September 27 -- the last week with complete sequencing data -- and is "on an increasing trajectory," a report by the UK Health Security Agency said.
Little is known about AY.4.2. Some experts have suggested it could be slightly more transmissible than the original Delta variant, though that has not yet been confirmed. While it accounts for a growing number of infections, it is not yet classified in the U.K. as a "variant of concern." It currently remains rare beyond Britain, with a small number of cases being recorded in Denmark and the U.S., expert Francois Balloux told the Science Media Center (SMC) on Tuesday.
Good news, COVID cases are down 50% in the states:

US sees 50% drop in daily COVID-19 cases
We have some good news and some bad news. Cases are dropping thanks to declines in states like Texas, but the nation is still reporting over 1,000 COVID deaths a day.
abc13.com
I don't want to break the party but beside the optimistic title this article also states: "Daily deaths are slowly falling, but remain persistently high. The nation is still reporting an average of 1,250 new deaths each day, and over the last four days alone, the U.S. reported just under 7,000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths. The death average is still about 6.5 times higher than in mid-July, when the national average had dropped to a near pandemic low of 192 deaths reported each day."
It is unacceptable that a rich and developed country as USA is doing so poorly when compared to others. We all know why it is such.
The University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation predicts that more than 160,000 more people in the US could die of the coronavirus from now through February 1. That would make this third surge of infections the deadliest yet. https://www.businessinsider.com/how...ak-compares-to-other-countries-charts-2020-10

We may take a beer now but we should wait for the Champagne (the real one, "Veuve Cliquot").

Putin backs keeping workers at home as Covid deaths soar
Russian workplaces to shut down from October 30 amid rising case numbers and deaths

Putin backs keeping workers at home as Covid deaths soar.
Russian workplaces to shut down from October 30 amid rising case numbers and deaths.
The last week an average of 1000 deaths per day was observed.
Right wing media personality Dennis Prager announces he has COVID and is happy about it, and announces he's also taking five medications as a result.
I don't think you can say you're relying on your natural immunity if you're on a cocktail of at least 5 different medications.
if he thinks covid is so great, why not go to studio and give it to everyone there.
After the Clorox nothing surprises me.
More really sketchy news.

Hospitals Are OVERRUN With Non-COVID Patients, A 'Super Cold' Is Spreading And People Are VERY Sick
I am not a doctor nor a journalist but any Sherlock Holmes would definitely question mass vaccination.
Does the vaccine affect immunity to other viruses and sickness?
Stay tuned.

A short answer is NO. Your body produces antibodies every days, vaccine or not. Don't get confused, a cold has multiple origins and is different from the flue. It can be bacterial or viral, different corona virus. The flue (influenza virus) is much more serious and might be lethal. In UK government dropped down distanciation and mask wearing. Not a surprise that cold with runny noses is coming back. They should have kept some distanciation and mask wearing as we do here.
Les cas repartent à la hausse en Europe. Heureusement, grâce à ceux qui se sont fait vaccinés, les cas graves et les hospitalisations ne montent pas dans les mêmes proportions.

Moscow will reintroduce COVID-19 lockdown measures from Oct. 28, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Thursday, with supermarkets and pharmacies the only shops allowed to stay open in an effort to cut soaring infections and deaths.

MOSCOW, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Moscow will reintroduce COVID-19 lockdown measures from Oct. 28, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Thursday, with supermarkets and pharmacies the only shops allowed to stay open in an effort to cut soaring infections and deaths.
Évidemment toutes ces données en provenance d'Europe nous laissent songeurs 
et soulèvent beaucoup de questions encore sur les différentes stratégies adoptées ..ici l'on se pense de plus en plus à l'abri et nous avons bien fait nos devoirs.....
MAIS ces différentes réalités doivent nous rappeler à l'ordre....nous sommes toujours en terre fragile....my 2 cents.

Les USA ouvrent leurs frontières. Avec les millions de voyageurs du monde entier qui y vont, ce sera un bon indicateur à suivre.
Bad news.
COVID-19 in Europe is worsening as another winter approaches. It is the only region with increases in infections across all age groups, while five over regions have reported a decline last week, according to the World Health Organization on Friday.
Across the English Channel, data published Friday by Public Health France confirmed the pandemic has returned to metropolitan France, noting that 44 French departments have exceeded the alert threshold, or 50 infections per 100,000 inhabitants.
Germany's seven-day incidence rate continued to rise and reached 139.2 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, the federal agency Robert Koch Institute announced Friday.
With 24,668 new infections registered within a day, Germany reported a total of 121,840 new cases for the past seven days.
Romania is also ravaged, hitting records in three main indicators since the pandemic began. The country reported 93,559 cases over the past seven days.
New infections in the Netherlands, Lithuania, Serbia, Slovenia and Bulgaria also reached record highs.

À bout de souffle et de ressources: le témoignage difficile d’une Québécoise atteinte de COVID longue
La Dre Anne Bhéreur a pris le peu d’énergie qu’elle a pour accorder une entrevue à Benoît Dutrizac sur QUB radio.
www.tvanouvelles.ca
Dre. Anne Bhéreur:
«Même si mes poumons sont intacts, j’ai les pieds bleus en ce moment en vous parlant et je deviens essoufflée», a confié la femme de 45 ans à l’animateur. Et après cet effort, elle passera le reste de sa journée «assis les yeux fermés», de son propre aveu.
Dre Bhéreur a attrapé la COVID-19 dans un milieu de soins en décembre 2020. Son cas n’a pas nécessité d’hospitalisation, mais les séquelles n’en ont pas été moins graves près d’un an plus tard. «Quand je l’ai attrapée, je pensais que ce serait quelques mauvaises journées, mais ça fait 10 mois et les mauvaises journées s'accumulent».
Cette dernière aimerait convaincre les antivaccins d’aller chercher leurs doses.
«Je voudrais tous les inviter dans ma cour, qu’ils voient ce que ça peut avoir l’air la COVID longue chez quelqu’un qui avant parlait vite, qui courait partout».
Cette dernière aimerait convaincre les antivaccins d’aller chercher leurs doses.
LONG COVID: Let's put a face and those victims. They are more than just numbers.
Approximately 10% of people infected with COVID-19 are thought to have lasting effects after 12 months. What is striking about Long COVID when compared to the virus itself is that it seems to be a greater threat to young and healthy people. People who have no mild acute infection or symptoms can also develop long COVID.
For Lohnes, Lin, and Sewell, Long COVID revealed their young adult vulnerabilities. They used to be primarily interested in pursuing family-raising, devoting themselves to their careers, pursuing higher education, etc., but now they are thinking of dealing with this situation for the rest of their lives.

The Spike protein:
A molecular model at atomic resolution shows the proteins making up the spike, with identical chains indicated by red, orange, and yellow. They are shielded by chains of glycans—sugarlike molecules colored blue—that hide the spike from human antibodies that could destroy it. Understanding the spike’s structure is key to designing effective vaccines.
