Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Emilio, who writes:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Hi Thomas<\/p>\n

I hope you are healthy. A few weeks ago, I got COVID-19; fortunately, I got the vaccine a few weeks ago, so my symptoms were minimal. Today only a little cough remains.<\/p>\n

In my isolation, I listened to a lot shortwave radio and watch many old movies, including this one:<\/p>\n

Fukkatsu no Hi<\/strong><\/em>–literally Day of Resurrection, also known as “Virus”–is a 1980 post-apocalyptic science fiction film about an advanced virus wiping out all life on Earth except 863 people in Antarctica. “<\/p>\n

Below I’ll share a scene<\/a> from the film–some mixed emotions about this scene as Japanese actors react.<\/p>\n

So this is why need teach to young and kids the basic radio communication, and perhaps handle of armament. Ha ha! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Wow! This is great–thank you for sharing this, Emilio! I do hope you’re feeling better. I’m glad shortwave radio and post-apocalyptic Japanese films have given you refuge as your recuperate! I’ve gotten a number of messages recently from SWLing Post contributors out there who recently contracted a variant of Covid-19. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Readers, <\/b>take some practical measures to avoid getting and spreading the virus<\/a>, and stay healthy out there! We don’t want to lose any more of our radio community to this nasty bug.\u00a0<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

Be well and happy DX!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
