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

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.


Longer video with context & subtitles:



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.

Still, hoping that Darcy feeling down was just a coincidence didn’t seem entirely unreasonable.

And with both of you half vaccinated? Too much of a coincidence. It's the only explanation that makes sense.

Do you have a pulse ox?

Phew. I, like, don't know whether to worry about you because you have more diseases than a research hospital or be reassured because if nothing's killed you yet you're probably functionally immortal.

*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!

It's full of crazies and the fic is crap.

When I went to urgent care for my chest pain and they finally tested me, the nurse came in and was like 'well, good news: you don't have covid.' And I was just like 'well then what the fuck have I been doing for the past three weeks?'

(NB: I did not swear at the nurse. She was very nice.)

Is the stuffed nose characteristic of the delta variant? I feel like I remember reading that somewhere. Because back in the old days *hitches up trousers* that was usually a signal that it wasn't covid.

Well, and they did a rapid test, and it had been three weeks. I figured I'd just managed to clear most of the active virus out of my system at that point. Or at least out of my nasal passages. But it was like 'yeah, don't tell me this isn't covid.'
