Pistol_Pete posted:Here's some happier UK news: This isn't as well considered as it sounds when you consider what age range people get pregnant in and look at what covid does to pregnant women and their fetuses. It basically makes them a vulnerable population and even minor poo poo like a sustained fever can give the child permanent brain damage and delayed development. I don't think it's okay letting young people be the guinea pigs for unrestrained spread and new variants when so much is still coming out about long covid, new symptoms, and so on. Not to mention what everyone has been saying about the likelihood of stronger and stronger variants.

I'm glad everyone I know and love has their first shot and if the timeline holds we'll all get our 2nd by early July. Add a couple weeks for it to fully take effect and August is looking pretty good. By October anyone who wants to be fully vaccinated in my area will have had the opportunity to do so and if they choose not to then they can deal with the consequences. Time to get back to living by fall.

My tiny kidney dog decided to have a pretty rough night last night (hugely elevated heart rate, hard breathing, still not willingly eating, etc) so that probably means we're not far off. Vet said 1-2 months anyhow. It's already been 2+ weeks. So I threw myself into making a Disney trip and it's ridiculously irresponsible and stupid of me to go in November (which will obviously be cancelled if covid gets worse than it is right now), but if literally nobody else is even trying it's going to loving get me at Kroger the same as if it's going to get my stupid rear end at Disney, I guess. My last time out among the general population I counted 9 masked people out of well over a thousand+ all day long. There is no reason to wear a mask in that environment because it's not really going to help you at that point. I'm still going to, but it's just hosed to pieces around here. I can't be responsible by myself, but I sure can hate them all for putting me in this situation where my only real available attempt to remain safe is basically negated.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:The odds of you personally passing it on? Probably extremely small, not zero but still fairly close to zero. people itt really play down the mental impact and health issues that come up from telling people to just stay home forever Studies show many Americans gained more than 20 pounds during one year of COVID-19 everything has consequences, and a bunch of people gaining a bunch of weight is also bad. yeah it's not contagious but people will still have worse health outcomes because of it. an extra 20-30 pounds is also going to result in a bunch of health issues and deaths down the road so how do you balance that?

Inept posted:people itt really play down the mental impact and health issues that come up from telling people to just stay home forever you can lose weight, you can't work out to improve your hosed up heart. though I do think that it lends a lot to say that we Americans have awful eating habits, awful nutrition ideas, and awful exercise ethic. And a great deal of that comes from a variety of problems including some systemic privilege ones.

Inept posted:people itt really play down the mental impact and health issues that come up from telling people to just stay home forever For the first point, absolutely no one was "playing down" the impact from social isolation, and no one was telling people they had to stay home forever. Strawman much? For the second point, here in Melbourne we were stuck inside our houses for 23hrs every day for over 100 days during our longest strict lockdown, don't lecture me about "playing down the mental impact and health issues" you dumbass LOL. No one said that continual social isolation was perfect and wonderful and lovely, there's 100% a bunch of issues about it that need to be widely addressed. But that doesn't mean that you get to use it as a cudgel to wriggle out of the wider pandemic responsibilities

Upper management is still able to work from home, but us peons have been going back at least 4 days a week since July of 2020. Which is insane in hindsight.

Yeah the average for people who gained was 29. That's over 13 kilos.quote:According to the APA survey, conducted in February, six in 10 adults experienced undesired weight changes during the pandemic. For 42% of respondents, that meant additional pounds — an average of 29.

Though most likely it’ll just end up as a statistic on one of those “why it costs more to be poor” lists in a couple years.

Everyday I walk outside I am so grateful. I'm still almost never going inside anywhere
