"I am ill but I will give everything"

Tennis star Alexander Zverev shared to be unwell and not fully fit after tighly beating Jaume Munar at the Davis Cup today. He's reported to have "a flu" and be "coughing" in the press.

"Happy to get the win [over Spain's Munar],” tennis star Zverev said. “I’m not feeling my best, so, was lacking energy a little bit yesterday and overnight". He's said to be "coughing" and lack voice in post match interviews (Spain in the end won the Davis semifinals) (I have the full thread on X)

Please remember that the UK had seen what happened in Wuhan (China) and Lombardy (Italy) when they had to decide in the end how to mitigate for Covid in 2020. And the evidence was that unmitigated SARS-CoV-2 spread was recipe for disaster

Friend this morning ‘you want to go to the pub’. I don’t know what to say anymore, those around me ignore my situation entirely. Five years campaigning and still don’t have good vaccine access or any awareness of airborne risk, post infection risk. There is a failure to inform on risk.

"A total of 634 fetal samples (538 from fetuses of women who were SARS-CoV-2 infected during pregnancy), from 32 tissue types, [were] collected and analyzed in [the] study. The study raises concerns over transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from the mother to the foetus in pregnancy

"Women of both groups [those who had Covid in pregnancy and the controls who didn't] opted for second-trimester pregnancy termination due to either elective abortion or fetal abnormalities."
