终于新冠了

为照顾亲友的婴儿也全家感染了omicron, 低烧（最高101.2度），咳嗽，身体酸痛，累，感冒的症状都有了，第三天第五天感觉90%好了，但随后的一天有fatigue又变差，进一步退两步，六七天时症状基本消失，咳嗽很少，测了还是弱阳，第九天100%复原，没测但去运动了，第十天才100%阴性了，恢复期是有点长，但算熬过了。谈论两年半，该来的还是来了，感谢身体的免疫力，从出生到现在经历多少病毒细菌侵袭，好在免疫系统works! 也感恩病毒演化到今天给多数人的症状不算太重。

昨天读了小部分 bill brysson's THE BODY, 再感恩了一遍自己的身体对病毒的适应力，生命的漫长演化是个奇迹，珍惜自己，珍惜健康

from ‘The BODY’:

Altogether it takes 7 billion billion billion (7 octillion) atoms to make you, no one can say why these 7 octillion have such an urgent desire to be you, they are mindless particles , after all without a single thought or notion between them , yet somehow for the length of your existence, they will build and maintain all the countless systems and structures necessary to keep you humming, to make you youm to give you form and shape and let you enjoy the rare and supremely agreeable condition known as life.

 

the miracle of human life is not that we are endowed with some frailties but that we are swamped with them.  don't forget that your genes come from ancestors who most of the time were even human. Some of them were fish, lots more were tiny and furry and lived in burrows, these are the beings from whom you have inherited your body plan. you are the product of three billion years of evolution tweaks. 

 

Everything since then has been a long and interesting accident, but a pretty glorious one, too.
