About Me
- Robert Paul Wolff
- As I observed in one of my books, in politics I am an anarchist, in religion I am an atheist, and in economics I am a Marxist. I am also, rather more importantly, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a violist.

Oh dear.... stay well.
Look after yourself Professor Wolff
I'm hoping to get the new shot when it becomes available. Take care.
Here's some indirect advice in Plutarch's Life of Antony:
"Accordingly, on one occasion, as a physician was making too bold and giving much annoyance to them as they supped, Philotas stopped his mouth with some such sophism as this: ‘To the patient who is somewhat feverish cold water must be given; but everyone who has a fever is somewhat feverish; therefore to everyone who has a fever cold water should be given.’"
This is the exact same passage that Benjamin Franklin writes about in his Autobiography that inspired him to get rid of his fever, although he forgot that it was Antony's biography that the passage was originally written in.
I had kidney stone problems & pain in my back for several years, and even pain in my back after a successful kidney stone operation. Then I added one to two apples each day to my diet, and each day I try to jump up thirty times like the Maasai Tribe do in Kenya & my pain is virtually gone. I got the idea because the Maasai mostly just eat blood and milk every day. And too much milk will create kidney stones from too much calcium. I believe they were really blessed to get that idea to jump around.
Professor Wolff, be prepared for a possible three weeks of COVID until you test negative. I had it and the main symptom was feeling very tired. There is a medication that could hasten the recovery time. Paxlovid. Ask your doctor if it is appropriate for you and consider seeing if your wife may also take it as soon as she tests positive if she hopefully does not. Also, Do you know for sure that you have COVID? Feel better soon whatever you have.
