Last week a girl from Tanzania told me that there is no vaccine for malaria and everyone in sub-saharan person catches malaria repeatedly throughout their lifetime. Whenever you catch malaria you have to go to hospital immediately and if you don’t get care in time you’ll probably die. She hasn’t caught malaria for 10 years now, which is considered a long time for an African to go without having it.

I know an Irish lad has it. It comes back and hits him every year. Puts him in bed for a week. But he recovers. It can’t be cured once it’s inside you.

Long malaria.

You can’t expect companies to invest billions in finding cures for poor country diseases.

I just figured out this week that if you water coriander plants from a little saucer underneath them they do way better, this is amazing, they used always die on me.

Yeah they always died on me. This is a game changer. I also really enjoy seeing the saucer of water disappearing.

Hospitals in China look exactly the same as Irish hospitals. Watching a thing here on Sky Docs about the lockdown in Wuhan.
