Friend got covid, they always wore kn95s and face shield at work, double pfizered in march/april, no booster. Work involved dealing with thousands of clients in poverty in a ruralish area, high unvaxxed zone.

got mild symptoms, thank god, probably a low viral load along with the vaxx help. Allergy-like symptoms and a rash.

didn't spread it to bf or roommate who are also vaxxed, they tested negative the whole time

The weaponization of woke language and mental illness is great. Ban everyone that posted on Tumblr from the internet.

This is something that makes me feel alienated sometimes. I don’t like the idea that we can’t talk about a problem and raise our voices in case somebody who doesn’t like raised voices hears it, you know what I mean? Like, the guy who doesn’t like loud noises isn’t actually here asking us not to do that, we maybe haven’t ever actually even seen this guy or proven that he exists, but the thread about the pile of corpses needs to be kept calm in case he exists, so don’t get too upset about that pile of corpses or else he might get upset and then you’re responsible and not being a good ally.

It’s kind of a hard thing to complain about without sounding like some right wing crank, but I think people here generally know what I mean. It sucks when you have to do a three minute preface explaining that trump was a very, very bad president before you can gently allude to the obvious fact that Biden isn’t doing poo poo for anyone. The thing about a rigorous enough demand for decorum is that it eventually comes to define its own little miniature Overton window, and anything that doesn’t fall within that acceptable decorum range is cause for someone to tell you to Do Better by shutting up about the glaring problems.

Ugh, that really sucks - I'm sorry. Were you experiencing heart-related symptoms between your last UC visit and the ED visit? Like chest pain, shortness of breath, tachycardia, etc.?

I had the same poo poo a few years back - difficulty exerting/running/stairs and just generally being tired af all the time - went in, got immediately sent to the hospital where they found my Ef was <10%. no cause they could identify, suspected viral but if your body has finished killing it beforehand there isn’t anything to find so the official diagnosis is idiopathic cardiomyopathy.

btw an ef of 10 is right on the edge of “welp let’s find a new ticker to put in there cause this ones FFFFFUCKED” - extremely lucky that a bunch of stupidly expensive drugs + a defib/pacemaker got me back up to 50-55% so now I’m indestructible

Indiana County Rejects Health Grant Amid COVID-19 Complaints

Health officials wanted the grant to hire new staff members. Health officials are frustrated after a northern Indiana county council rejected a $3 million federal grant following vocal opposition from residents tying it to a litany of COVID-19 complaints.

The Elkhart County health department had sought the grant to hire staff members to provide education on chronic diseases to Black, Hispanic and Amish residents over a three-year period. The county council’s 6-0 vote on Sept. 11 against accepting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention grant, however, had some health leaders saying the council was swayed by what they view as false information and conspiracy theories.

Dr. Dan Nafziger, Goshen Health’s chief medical officer, said the county doesn’t have enough healthcare workers to meet the community needs. “It is incredibly disappointing to see this effort prevented because people distrust the federal government or connect what they don’t like about the pandemic with this grant,” Nafzinger said. “On a daily basis we have patients filling beds in our hospitals because they didn’t understand how to keep themselves healthy.” County Health Officer Dr. Bethany Wait said the department sought the grant after a community needs assessment showed that chronic disease and mental health were concerns in the three target communities. Wait said the department wanted to find health workers who live in those communities and can provide outreach.

More than 20 people spoke against the grant program during the council meeting, with some expressed distrust of the government and health experts and raising fears that the money would lead to forced vaccination. “I have to believe this grant has a lot to do with COVID,” said Alison Gingerich of Goshen. “We are tired of being educated on COVID. We have had two years of education on COVID. Two years of contract tracing with COVID. Any more education stands for threat, coercion, bullying and virtue signaling.”

Elkhart County, which is just east of South Bend, saw severe COVID-19 outbreaks earlier in the year and was under a county health department-issued mask mandate for months until county commissioners refused in May to extend it under a new Republican-backed state law that required elected officials to approve such requirements.

County Council member Adam Bujalski said he objected to a grant requirement that the local health department assist the federal government in quarantining and COVID isolation. “That one sentence is my no,” Bujalski said. “I refuse to say that whatever the federal government tells me I have to do I have to do. I will never say that.”

Former Goshen Mayor Allan Kauffman, who’s now on the city school board, said he didn’t understand why the council was swayed by the grant opponents. “Never have I seen something like this before, ever. And I never thought I ever would. It’s craziness,” Kauffman said. “What news do these people read, for God’s sakes? ... They want to believe these conspiracy theories.”
