The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

A good friend of mine lost her mum to Covid last week. She is devastated.
I'm sorry to hear that, it's so horrible..

Oh and on a more positive note, someone I went to school with is part of the scientific team working on the vaccine.
That's cool

I’m kinda baffled about the vaccine. After 3 weeks you are protected personally but you can potentially still transmit it to others. So every single person needs to have the jab? How do you transmit a virus that you can’t catch? Am I being dumb here?
I'm not totally sure, I'm still researching it....

As I understand it, the vaccine helps protect you from getting seriously ill with the virus, not from actually catching it. The idea is that most people will have the jab which will mean the virus becomes controlled (with vaccine boosters annually) rather than got rid of completely. So, it’ll have a similar impact to flu. At least, that’s how I took it, feel free to let me know if I’ve got it wrong

My understanding is that it works like most vaccines and gives you a small exposure so that your immune system reacts and produces antibodies to fight the virus so that if you are exposed to it again then your body recognises it and knows how to fight it.
You can still be a carrier, just like now, people can be carriers without knowing they have come in contact with the virus.
