Not the worst thing we've done with vaccines.
Back in the early 1800's, the King of Spain decided to inoculate all holdings in South America against smallpox (a damn good idea) - but the journey was too long by ship. So ... orphans were rounded up and one was given the vaccine, he developed the immunity so they took take their blood and put it in the next orphan who develops the immunity and repeat the process all the way across the Atlantic. The British Empire did much the same with low caste Indian boys.

I'm always worried about Mrs. in my mental background. The empathy is palpable.
The secretary of my lodge was an early adopter of COVID - he's in a condition much like yours. He still doesn't feel well. Tired and uncomfortable look.
As I posted elsewhere in the thread, per those who don't want to get vaccinated: supplies are very limited. Ask once, then just move on to the next person. Those hoping to take advantage of a supposed "herd immunity" (i.e., sponge their well being off the rest of us) - will find out that it's still lurking about looking for victims (we are food). The hospitals may not be overcrowded anymore but the results all too often are long term.
I hope for your sake, and her-self's, that the damage can heal.

Dang hope all turns out alright.
Seems lately that more and more people we know have either had it or currently have it. Nasty business!

That's what pisses me off the most of this damned thing...
From all the ones having it in my known people, almost none of them are the "anti-rules" or "anti-waxxers" or similars...
I would have hope that darwin gets to work, but looks like dumbness makes COVID inmune

We're selling our town house and the real estate agent came and told us that her daughter had COVID.
My better half dealt with her but after she left she told me what the woman had said and my response was; "What the f*** was she doing here?" What is wrong with people?

Well, apart from the plain stupid you mean?
It's quite clear to me that this epidemic is disproportionally affecting poor people, and that's not just because they're stupid, (well some obviously are), but rather because they have "essential" jobs that they cannot afford staying home from. Especially in some countries where sick pay isn't enforced, which makes it a double whammy in this case.
I don't think real estate agents are essential in any way, but I do believe they have provision based salary.
I also believe there is a lot you need to do in person as a real estate agent, so I guess their "common sense" get quite blunted after a while.

People don't following the voluntary (lockdown is forced so it is another thing) social distancing in Spain... around 20
In Germany around 20 too
Anti Vaxxers in spain... no numbers
In Germany 5 (not only Covid related vaccines, normal ones too and they have kids )
Some even went to the demonstrations and all of them are (still) healthy.
Infected people I would say around 30 to 40 people in Spain (3 of them ended in death) and 5 in Germany (low to mid severity)

Funny really. I don't know any antivaxxers at all.
I also don't know anyone that's been sick either. Apparently some temp worker at my wife's job had it in the spring, and a teacher at my sons school, otherwise it's just Griff.

I have a couple of friends, in their thirties, regular runners and healthy... who can no longer climb the stairs to the second floor.
When a vaccine will be distributed in Italy I will do all I can, legal or barely, to have me and my wife vaccinated ASAP - especially because her company does not let her do smartworking, despite being completely possible and her having to travel 50 km on public transportation in one way and then again back.

Not sure if you realize it, but IMO you're doing a great service to the community at large making these posts. Nothing alarming. Not trying to scare anyone. Letting the reader make up his own mind just by stating the facts as they are, coming from someone who's been there (or rather, smack in the middle of it and still having to deal with it).
If this convinces one anti-vaxxer to go for it if s/he's lucky enough to get it...it was probably worth it.

I have to convert a recursive traversal to an iterative one. 
My poor ESP32 can't handle the stack my JSON reader is generating. I have an optimization for skipping entire subtrees wihout actually parsing everything therein. The problem is it calls skipObjectPart() which may call skipArrayPart() which may call skipObjectPart(). Here I thought I was already ahead because it doesn't use stack in cases like { "foo": { "bar": {} } } only on the edge conditions where you're transitioning from a nested array to a nested object and vice versa like { "foo": [ { "bar": {} } ] } but even with that optimization it takes too much stack on my test document (about 120kB of highly nested JSON data)
So now I need to figure out how to do the whole thing iteratively
I do not like having to eliminate recursion. I guess this is what I get for porting from C# code to an embedded device.
It just occurred to me that I could eliminate the recursion entirely and easily by not distinguishing between {} and []. I would expect the document to be balanced in terms of left right brackets but i could ignore what the actual brackets are. That would lead to things like accepting { foo: [} ] but I think I might be able to get away that. Consider what a bad document looks like. If it's corrupt, how likely is it to be corrupt but still balanced in terms of general left and right brackets? Do you think this is an acceptable optimization for a tiny device who is reading data that 99% of the time will be machine generated? I've seen some pretty nefarious hacks to get big data to run on small systems, and this is one such situation. I'm flexible.

When it has to be done, it has to be done. I had to do the same thing with QuadTree traversal, because recursive procedures were much too slow.

Too slow? How can that possibly be?
Until yesterday I would have come with my old and evil ways, but now I'm a reborn wraith (*) and must tell you that the compiler is far better than you at taking care of such things. Stacks are social constructs now, so you can easily ignore it. Then you can easily ignore it. It's size is now irrelevant and the calling overhead in recursive methods is also gone. Maybe it will help if your classes identify as iterative? Try to set the [iterative] attribute.
(*) No, I'm not.
