Very Jenneric (Is that a word ?) leap of thought from a veterinarian relative, based on anecdotal data of low infection of Covid among vets. (Cannot verify if that is a real thing) connecting immunity to bovine coronavirus. Google popped up this. 1/3

There has been a related study apparently and a US firm is working on therapeutics for Covid, but it is not based bovine coronavirus. 2/3

Related to the therapeutic research. 3/3

There was once a noble who set his sails in conquest of an island in Europe, while his King watched in worry of a new Kingdom next door.

For the noble had the blood of Normans, Rus, French and even the mighty Charlemagne, to be King in his own stead.

I first read about the Kalmar Union when I was in school. The idea that the entirety of Scandinavia used to be a single country, albeit briefly, was surprising - Denmark, Sweden with parts of Finland in tow, Norway with Iceland, Greenland, Faroe Islands and parts of Scotland. 1/6
It was an initiative of Queen Margrethe who was the ruler of all three Kingdoms in 1397. Though the union was stable during her rule, it started having trouble after her death in 1412. 2/2

It was during this time that the German House of Oldenburg became a regnal dynasty. During the Napoleonic period, this family's rule stretched from the north western end of Europe to the north eastern end of Asia. 3/3
