Coronavirus and My Resolve

Coronavirus and My Resolve

It is unfortunate when I started assimilating TRUE KNOWLEDGE and much later teaching in a higher education, I had to dish out my noted from a typewriter.

First things, I bought from my first salary in UK were a typewriter (English) and number of German super cameras.

I was a photographic fanatic from my childhood and I always had a primitive camera in my possession in Ceylon.

I never fathomed digital cameras and have number of outdated film loaded ones in my attic (as souvenirs) and now I have two digital cameras.

I have about 20 odd camera films (not developed) as a reminder of my old black and white printing in a makeshift room as a teenager.

I even bought a colour printer (gave it to safe keeping to a guy who ruined everything including my old Canon camera).

My latest addition was a microscope with digital camera (used by children in America) and the University where I worked did not have one for my research work as a geriatric adult with gray hair.

I hate selfie photos and cellphone cameras.

Sorry for the diversion and the type writer had done me lot of favours.

I use single handed (Ko-Ko System) type writing method with a coffee cup in my left hand (or a hand written note for typing a novel idea, like BSD or Linux).

I am now into BSD since, that is the only utility that can erase proprietary Windows in a flash and boot Debian instead.

So my type writer has helped me to use a keyboard in style while multitasking ideas in my brain.

Coming back to Coronavirus antigen system and antibodies, I found an old note of my genetic lectures for undergraduates.

I will type them below for my future reference.
