Sweet_Joke_Nectar posted:re: is it worth it to send kids back - I have no doubt that the kids are getting screwed over by remote learning. I’m sure there’s going to be measurable differences to previous generations. weighed against the alternative, though, it’s an absolute no brainer. Jeez I'm really sorry man, that's awful. Truly hope it begins to subside. If you don't mind me asking, how long ago were you infected & how severe were the symptoms? I'm trying to inform some fam on the true level of risk and longcov is hard to distill.

quote:Not being exposed to the wider world as much as pre-pandemic children and instead spending their infancy with stressed adults has left them at a significant mental disadvantage than their slightly older peers, according to the not-yet-peer-reviewed findings published Wednesday. lmfao It’s hard to believe kids being in daycare with 15 other babies and only two teachers is better than being at home with mom and dad even if working full time. We had a covid baby but also childcare, the only difference from our first and second was our first went to different classes and events from 6mo old and on and she is fairly advanced for her age. Our second hasn’t but he got way more quality time with mom and dad

i am harry posted:can confirm, my zoro tools order arrived today: I'm glad folks are having good experiences with Zoro. I recommended them off two purchases, but the CS in particular was stellar. I'd gotten a secure click mask off Digikey earlier and went to buy hard carts for it, but hosed up and got the non-P100 ones. Shot them an email and got the "we'll get back to you ASAP but you should call if this is time sensitive" email, figured I had time since it was Friday afternoon and there's no way they'd ship out before Monday. Twenty minutes later I got the shipping notification, then about thirty later I got an email saying "whoops, you should've called us but don't worry, we're refunding your money and just keep or donate the carts." So I'm glad I was able to repay that by sending a bunch of crack-pinged goons their way.  I think their volume must be going up because my first two orders were in these fancy branded boxes that unfolded like origami and my last one came in an enormous blank box sized for a case of toilet paper or something.

squirrelzipper posted:ok but are these anecdotally the same parents that are helping their “dumb” kid pass a meaningless quiz or w/e? just having a hard time keeping track here of why we have to reopen the plague lands, sorry. anyways fwiw the test was a standardized test he took at the beginning of the year and at the end. in the fall, he scored super high, way way above his previous score—indicating he had help. i talked with his parents about this and they did help him, i let them know yeah you cant do that. in the spring his score plummeted, but was actually pretty high growth based on his fall 2019 scores. i helped him one-on-one throughout the year and mom and dad seemed to be helping too. kid was still dum as hell tho

I have 2 kids, my son graduated high school in 2020 (lucky fucker) and barely had to do remote anyways as he was on an academic track that meant most of his work in grade 12 was self paced. My daughter is going into grade 4 and is a very social athletic kid who is also a good student. Last year remote was really hard, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat if it means she doesn't get exposed to a novel and potentially life long debilitating disease - and in fact am doing so! This idea that's there no better options is a complete loving failure of our society and justifying it is complicit.

Oregon’s mask mandate started back up today. Earlier I went to the store to pick up some cold fizzy water because it’s a hundred degrees, and an old white dude came in without a mask. Guy behind the counter told him to mask up, the guy immediately started screaming and demanding to know when this bullshit started, and by the time I looked back to him the worker was already holding up today’s newspaper and pointing at the headline about masks because he had clearly been dealing with this for hours already. The guy stormed out screaming about how Jackson county is loving us, but the weird part was when he came back in with an honest to god n95. It was the good kind with the two straps that go behind your head, and he had only affixed the top one. None of that surprised me until the n95 worn halfway correctly. It appeared to be pristine and he got to it real fast, so it wasn’t some forgotten thing he had to find on the floor of his car. Who is this man going around with n95s that he’s mad about wearing? Why not put it on right? The clerk guy was immediately yelling at me about how he has to wear a mask twelve hours a day so what’s this guy’s problem, I was wearing an elastomeric and being all “tell me about it bro,” it was a funny scene. I only wish I had my sickos shirt on to turn it into a full live action Kelly comic.

I'm in the heart of the city, so that probably has something to do with it. The two places I have gone so far (and pretty much the only places I go), the convenience store and my building, both have new signs up about the mandate, so that's a hundred percent compliance if you're me.

a little bright note for you all--- one of the things we've really enjoyed while truly isolating the last 18 months is these virtual classes or experiences through like cozymeal or air b&b. we've done a whole bunch of cooking & alcohol classes but tonight was our first non-edible one and i just wanted to highly recommend it---just google "tiny theatre air b&b". super entertaining, very funny, and also at the end very interesting insight into the industry & how protective their union & theater company was even during the lull in cases this summer.

scary ghost dog posted:bluechew lol so unironically I know people who this actually helps because it deals with blood flow. my understanding is that POTS (kind of a catch all diagnosis for autonomic dysfunction characterized by heart rate fluctuations well outside the norm during postural changes) affects everyone differently, so I can only vouch for my own experience, and a lot of medications out there that help me don’t help others, and vice versa. there are no FDA approved medications specifically for POTS. I was diagnosed by a neurologist from a thing called a tilt table test. it took me over two years from getting sick to get an actual diagnosis, for a long time I thought I was dying and no one knew. everyone I saw told me it was anxiety, and I’ve had mental health struggles in the past, but I dropped 30lbs in 3 months and no one could figure it out. first they found a tumor, then a separate stomach thing, and when none of those surgeries solved it they just gave up for a while and I didn’t leave the house. I take colestipol off label which helps with IBS like symptoms, which were bad enough at one point to where I couldn’t attend things too far away from a restroom because I’d get maybe 90 seconds notice. I take Prazosin off label for adrenal issues, there are subtypes of POTS, mine is hyperadrenergic, which means that my fight or flight response is properly hosed. I used to work a high stress, high pressure job in the arts, and I went from series regular lead role work to being unable to do background work because I’d pass out on set. I’ve had to alter situations I put myself in, anything that’s exciting sets things off - my body can’t really tell the difference between good stress and bad stress, it all just makes me throw up and pass out. I certainly no longer ride a motorcycle, and for a while was unable to drive a car. part of the adrenal fatigue is apparently what causes the brain fog, it’s not structural brain damage like you’d find in a stroke, but more lack of bloodflow to the brain and overstimulation from adrenaline stuff that causes the areas of cognitive impairment. I take Wellbutrin and Lamotrigine for my mental health. things got incredibly dark for me when I got sick. I was super career motivated and the most successful member of my graduating class, and when that went away my sense of self went with it. began to self harm, wrote a note, wound up going into inpatient mental health treatment. one of the shittiest things about invisible illness is that it kind of just presents as laziness, and an issue of character rather than chemistry/biology - girlfriend left, family thought I was just faking. it’s really hard to see a point in a life where you have to avoid anything exciting because your body can’t handle anything too fun. I needed significant help with my mental health. I also take ambien because nights are when my mental health gets the worst, and I think about the life I had vs the life I have now, and I spin out. I’ll get off that one day, but not right now. I take massive amounts of salt, both in electrolyte liquids and salt pills, to keep my blood volume up so I don’t get dizzy and pass out. everyone else is supposed to cut their sodium intake, but I have minimum 5 grams of salt and 120oz of water per day. I take promethazine as needed for nausea when nothing else helps. I take a few supplements that everyone else takes. I know people who have POTS my age who didn’t know they had it and have no symptoms, and others who are in full time hospice care. I’m kind of in the middle. fwiw, my mental health is significantly better than it was when I first got sick.

The best(worst?) part about the diabetes thing is unless it's a ridiculously obvious correlation it's going to be hard to determine which ones were already suffering from untreated diabetes long before COVID finally forced them to spend money on a doctor.
