No symptoms

Sunrise today

 Some of our guys ... over 60 yrs have gone to get their vaccinations. It's the leftover Pfizer vaccines which if not used by sunset, will get thrown away. Good luck to them. So far today I can still smell and taste, my sore throat is gone. I've been drinking hot lemon-honey all day and night, and my phlegm problem seems to have gone. No more choking and coughing in the night. Still I'll isolate myself till Saturday to make sure I have no corona symptoms. It's really scary.

Still the infection rate yesterday was 9000+, a 3rd day in a row. Not a good sign despite the almost 2 million vaccinations done.

It rained hard last night for several hours. Enough to clean the air and water the dry ground. The forecast is for thunderstorm today ... but now the sun is shining brightly though the wind is quite cold. Maybe winter decided to come back. Let's hope the rains come back tonight.

The police have been doing night duty on the ancient tower of the Antonia Fortress opposite my room. They got 2 huge spotlights on and a policeman is constantly flashing a very bright flashlight around, and into my room every once in a while. It's just like the Intifada days. It gets me nervous and I can't sleep. Imagine a powerful light shining through your window every few minutes. Anyway I don't know why. Maybe it's because of the bombing in Syria and the recent stabbings ... the general tensions in the region. They sure aren't enforcing the lockdown, so they must be here for some other reason.
