Update from the house of Plague (Day 101 of Year 2)

[elisi]

House of plague confirmed (Darcy's PCR was positive).



Am not feeling great myself - just sort of all over achy, so I guess we'll see how it goes. If the daily posts stop because of actual covid I'll appreciate the irony for sure...

Somehow getting a notification for this story feels very apropos, given the state of my head at the moment:

Daily Dimash: Thousands Of Miles A Common Dream

The song is based on the poetry of Zhang Jiuling of the Tang Dynasty. The poem was written to comfort friends who are about to travel a long journey.

Go to youtube to see more info/story/lyrics. All I'll note here is that Dimash dedicated the song to the medical workers of the Wuhan Union Hospital (the song was recorded on Jan. 8, 2020). The main objective of this show is to popularize the Chinese traditional fine arts among the young people through pop culture by having pop stars sing the texts of ancient poetry out to the audience.

He also performed 'Adai' on the dombra:

Dimash sang in New Year (2021-22) in China on the CCTV channel with Thousands of Miles, A Common Dream (万里梦同心), in a duet with Yingxi Zhang.

ETA: Lovely reaction. Make sure to add subtitles.

*hugs* I hope all of you recover swiftly and completely, and without too much misery in the meantime.

I've enjoyed your posts through this year-plus of lockdown, by the way!

Thank you! Here's to hoping.

Oh that makes me happy. I fear the quality has fluctuated wildly, but it's been a nice thing to keep me focussed. :)

[laurashapiro]

Oh no, I'm so sorry. D:

[elisi]

We've had our first shots, so we'll be fine (fingers crossed)

[shadowkat]

Sorry to hear this, for some reason I thought you'd already had it - but mild? Also I thought you had both your shots? Which vaccine, if you don't mind me asking?

Anyhow, fingers crossed you get well soon and it doesn't get worse.

[elisi]

Sorry to hear this, for some reason I thought you'd already had it - but mild?
Well Darcy & Miss M both got ill with ~something~ way back when (March 2020), when there were no tests or anything. We all just isolated and they got better pretty quickly. So who knows? However the consensus is that this one is much worse, so the first one might just have been a bug of some kind.

Also I thought you had both your shots? Which vaccine, if you don't mind me asking?
AstraZeneca, and Darcy & I have had the first one. Miss M has had both shots. So we should be fine in the long run (i.e. we're not worried about ending up in hospital) it's just annoying being ill.

Anyhow, fingers crossed you get well soon and it doesn't get worse.
Thank you! <3

[avrelia]

Good luck to you, Mr. Darcy and the rest of the family! Sorry to hear about the virus :(

[elisi]

Thank you! And yeah, it's unfortunate but hey ho, it is what it is. Could be worse, that's for sure.

House of plague confirmed (Darcy's PCR was positive)

Oh no! :(

Please encourage Darcy and anyone else in the household who is infected

to rest WAY more than they think they need to as they are recovering

over exertion in recovery seems to increase the risk of developing long-COVID

eg 12 months or more of being too unwell to do paid work or study

Even mild COVID in young people often leads to long-term symptoms

[elisi]

Thank you for your advice! We are generally on the lazy side - so far there has been a lot of binge watching TV. And I'm sure they'll all be happy to rest as much as possible. :) Of course so far we're not even allowed to leave the house, so no exertion going to happen any time soon...

Also nice to meet you, hope you are well. (If we have met before, I apologise. I will blame covid for my terrible memory. *g*)

[a_phoenixdragon]

Bless you, dear one...sending love to everyone and extra cuddles for you and Darcy!

*HUGS*

[elisi]

Thank you. <3

Oh, that sucks! Hope Darcy recovers soon and you feel better, too! ♥

[elisi]

Thank you. <3

[elisi]

Thank you. <3

[double_dutchess]

Fingers crossed your test comes out negative, but TBH it doesn't sound good. Wishing you both a speedy recovery!

[elisi]

If my test is negative it'll be because I borked it! ;)

And thank you. <3

[kazzy-cee.livejournal.com]

I hope you don’t feel too ill even if you have Covid! Any ideas where D caught it?

[elisi]

Thank you, mostly feeling all-over achy.

And we were all given it by Miss M who came home last weekend (Friday-Sunday). She's had both jabs, and had a very minor scratchy throat (so minor she didn't even mention it), and lo and behold it turned out to be covid! No idea where *she* got it, mind you, she's the overly cautious one...
