得「病」中「毒」經驗談

Hi Grace and Thomas,

阿英實在慶,一下tuan(猜)有人得病,使用快速測毒器(具)。Grace’s guess is as good as God’s arrangements. With some luck, strong determination, your blessings and God’s help, Big Ben had gotten through this battle.

萬萬沒想到
認真防疫有三年
結果還得「病」中「毒」(註:「病毒」= COVID-19)

六月十六日
參加一場聚會餐
奈知嘛儕帶病毒

大約一日後
身體開始發高燒
燒燒三十八九度

其他介徵頭(=徵狀)
除了感覺有兜痶(=累)
喉嚨乾燥會咳嗽

自家想乜知
可能得「武漢病毒」
速測試證明陽性(Positive on 6/20/22)

因爲病徵輕
決定毋去看醫生
希望免疫(系統)起作用
另外淋多水、休息(note: my son who had it on his campus through his students in the classroom strongly suggested this remedy.)

咳嗽介問題
食兜藥水會解決(note: NyQuil severe for cold & flu)
入夜平靜也好睡

記得第二暗
連續睡有十小時
天光精神好多少

六月二十二
再用快速測試包(器)
測試卡隱藏陽性(note: a vague line at T)

大約十日後
身體狀況非常好
測試卡出現陰性(note: no line at T on 6/26/22)

十日隔離中
味覺嗅覺算正常
食慾不會輸平常

總講一句話
平常運動有幫助(運動=打網球)
免疫系統有較強(=immune system)

上天乜保祐
一條老命算有硬
硬到病毒也會驚

As far as I am concerned, I have antibodies now and should be protected from COVID-19’s attack. As a matter of fact, three shots of Moderna vaccine also contributed a great deal of protection from getting really bad at the beginning of my ordeal.

COVID-19 快速測試包

Hi Thomas and Grace,

May I share the iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test information from FDA(USA) with you? In Montgomery County, Maryland where we live, each resident is allowed to pick up 2 sets of test kits and 4 N95 masks at near library during the working hours from Monday to Saturday. 

快速測試包
檢驗是否中病毒
十五分鐘知結果

打開測試包
除了測試介紹單
一共有三樣東西(測試卡、取樣棉花棒、測試包有藥液、試管)

第一个步驟(the first step)
打開細包測試包
將藥液擠入試管(註:藥液要蓋到第二條黑線)

第二个步驟(second step)
打開使用棉花棒
伸入鼻孔取肺液 (註:母使翹鼻孔,平平插入棉花棒,就作得。)

第三个步驟(Third step)
(挖鼻孔過介)棉花棒放入試管
混搖至少十五擺(次數)

最後个步驟(final step)
擠三滴(混合液)(the mixture of nostril sample and test liquid)在測試卡
十五分後看結果

測試卡頂頭
出現三種可能性
陽性、陰性、無結果(positive, negative, invalid)

Here are the pictures of three results for your reference.

虎年大拜拜

Hi Thomas and Grace,

Attended a welcome luncheon party for 僑委會副委員長 徐佳青 at New Fortune Restaurant and had a mixed feeling on the current Taiwanese government’s attitude towards Taiwanese Americans.

虎年大拜拜
華府藍綠聚一堂(異想天開大和解)
歡迎僑委會副座(个个學會拍馬屁)

職政已六年
華府天空一片藍(僑務職藍多綠少)
台僑何時出頭天(小英政府無所為)

雙橡園(Twin Oaks Estate)今非昔比?

Hi Thomas and Grace,

虎年雙橡園
園肚草皮欠整理
蓋忒園肚大車輪

記得幾年前(2017)
園主邀請打嘴鼓
這个車輪當搶眼

American wood duck 美州樹鴛鴦

Hi Thomas and Grace,

Saw this wood duck family of seven in Lake Whetstone, Gaithersburg, Maryland last week. Six ducklings follow the mother duck(鴨媽). The father duck(鴨公)was not around at all.

虎年好福氣
看到樹鴛鴦大細 (樹鴛鴦=Wood duck)
阿姆渡六个細人(母鴨帶六隻小鴨)

樹鴛鴦公姆
長相完全冇相像
公个較靚姆較醜

網球場空空

 Hi Thomas and Grace,

At the men’s quarter final of French Open in Paris, France, yesterday, the world witnessed Nadal defeated Djokovic, a favorable winner from the media circles this year. Have you seen American players on the top tennis stages/platforms and in four grand slams finals in the last quarter century? Nope! Here is why?

虎年怪現象
社區球場空空空
難得看到有人打

講到打網球
後生不再瘋網球
美國已經冇球王

三十零年前(1989-2002)
阿格西、桑普拉斯、張德培(Agassi, Sampras, Michael Chang) 
相爭第一十過年

二十一世紀(2000-Present)
費德勒、納達、喬科維奇(Federer,  Nadal, Djokovic)
打來打起爭球王

到目前為止
納達拿最多滿冠(21 Grand slams)
費、喬兩儕排在後(各拿二十大滿冠)

球場一日空
美國出網球王子
看來看去難又難
