filling tires with air is easier with a Topeak adapter

2021.9.10: summary:

https://amzn.to/3C4tMu6

. this adapter makes it easier to 

get a pump on the tire's valve,

if you have big tires 

and pressing the pump onto the valve

tends to push the valve into the tire.

. if locking the pump onto the valve

takes a lot of power, this adapter 

gives you more room away from the spokes.

natural immunity after infection persists even with low antibodies #covid19

2021.7.26, 8.31: news.health/immunity/covid-19/

natural immunity after infection persists even with low antibodies:

summary:

. it is shown that after a covid-19 infection

there is long-lasting immunity

even when the antibody count is low

because covid-19 is slowly developing

thereby giving the memory cells time to react

by growing more antibodies when needed.

. the CDC recommends even those who have been infected

should get the vaccine; apparently because,

the recently vaccinated with their higher antibodies,

will be quicker at stopping the spread of the virus

than people who have survived an infection and then

slowly make more antibodies when reinfected.

. the politics of this question are based on

a dispute over the likelihood of vaccine injury.
