That looks like standard old man vessel fragility. My dad had it, and anyone who takes prednisone will get it. There's no bleeding problem per se - people don't get bleeding gums or noses because they still clot normally - but the vessels get more fragile as folks age so the simplest bump causes some blood to leak out, staining the skin like ink. And then, because of gravity, it all heads south into the hands or feet, making them swell a bit. So in this case, means nothing, IMHMO.

apparently, this pandemic wont have as large an impact on evoloution

The devastation of the plague pandemic left such an incredible genetic mark on humanity that it's still affecting our health nearly 700 years later.

Up to half of people died when the Black Death swept through Europe in the mid-1300s.

A pioneering study analysing the DNA of centuries-old skeletons found mutations that helped people survive the plague.

But those same mutations are linked to auto-immune diseases afflicting people today.

The Black Death is one of the most significant, deadliest and bleakest moments in human history. It is estimated that up to 200 million people died.

Researchers suspected an event of such enormity must have shaped human evolution. They analysed DNA taken from the teeth of 206 ancient skeletons and were able to precisely date the human remains to before, during or after the Black Death.

The standout finding, published in the journal Nature, surrounded mutations in a gene called ERAP2.

If you had the right mutations you were 40% more likely to survive the plague.

"That's huge, it's a huge effect, it's a surprise to find something like that in the human genome," Professor Luis Barreiro, from the University of Chicago, told me.

The gene's job is to make the proteins that chop up invading microbes and show the fragments to the immune system, priming it more effectively to recognise and neutralise the foe.

Ah, autumn! That time of year when —if you have already met your deductible— you take inventory of anything you can foresee that might become an issue in the next year, so you can get it taken care of before January. OR—if you have not met deductible— you make an X on the calendar, count the days until January 1 and ask yourself, "is it really so bad?" 

My shoulder hurts like hell and the Xray shows some problems but whether it can be fixed thru surgery is unknown. So to go on, it needs an MRI, I guess. But there's no way to get the surgery scheduled before Dec. 31, and there's no way I'm putting the MRI on this year's billing and a surgery on next year's. So hey. Welcome to America.
