eta: I am reliably corrected. I was apparently comatose and complaining for an entire week. I have no recollection but I would be the last one to argue.

They didn't lie.
Holy CRAP!
I started feeling a bit tired and achy by dinner time, and turned in about 9 PM. Sleeping was fitful and every time I woke I felt like I had been beat and left for dead.
Next day wasn't too bad, as long as I didn't get up and try to do anything useful. Finally around dinner time I began to feel human again.
Even today, though, I'm feeling a bit less that active, though I did get out and get some work done in preparation for the freeze that we are expecting tonight.
Now, I think it's time for a nap (again)

That doesn't sound good - is that worse than your previous jabs?

We had a weekend away and went to see a band and we didn't wear masks, watch this space to see if we regret that in a week or so's time. Don't want to go back to the place that doesn't feel like my home anymore.

I've noticed that women complain more about a sore arm, and seem to miss out on the real knock down symptoms.
The Mrs says That's the way it has always been when a bug comes around. The Men grovel and whine and spend days in bed, while the Women just get up and go back to work.
I think that I may have been insulted by that.
Hmmm, ...

There are only two biosafety level 4 facilities in the whole of China. One of those is located within a mile of the presumed initial outbreak.

That could of course be a coincidence. I don't like coincidences at all but I concede they're not impossibilities.

Covid-19 escaped from Wuhan lab, US report finds

The Covid-19 virus is likely to have escaped from a laboratory in Wuhan by accident, according to an update by the US Department of Energy, contradicting other American agencies which say there is insufficient evidence to prove the theory.

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/covi ... -x629t298t (paywalled Murdoch tabloid, admittedly)

The Wall Street Journal started the report, but I seem to remember that's a Murdoch title too so it'll be just as paywalled.
