This is me (usually also caffeine) but my resting heart rate is still usually around 80. Sometimes it can be around 90 though. But my resting heart rate always stayed pretty high despite regular exercise before I got diagnosed as an adult and started adderall too. My doctor doesn't seem particularly concerned? I dunno, my heart rate also averages quite high during long exercise, like ~175 maintained basically indefinitely is comfortable.

The other day I ran on a stupidly hot and humid day and was miserable and managed to average 189bpm over 50 minutes. I can still max over 200 and I'm in my late 30s.

I think I'm a hummingbird of some sort. Either that or on my way to a heart attack during exercise or something. Maybe I just have a small bleak heart.

Edit: Also by resting I mean mid day sitting in a chair. I think technically it's the lowest low you hit during sleep, but at least measured shortly after waking for the day.

Uhh, your doctor isn't concerned about you doing this? I''m just a fitness hobbyist but that seems really high to be at for a whole workout. I was told that the rule of thumb for max safe heart rate was 220 minus your age so 180 for a 40yr old. And adding stimulants on top of that, ooph, i'm getting heart palpitations just thinking of that. This is the worst time to need emergency medical help.

If my resting heart rate gets above 70 it means I've been a piece of poo poo for at least a month not doing any exercise and drinking every weekend. It's normally in the low to mid 60s and goes down to the 50s when I'm working out regularly and watching my diet. I'm amazed at all the super high numbers people are posting just because of how different "normal" is for each individual.

That's good advice for an individual, but it's not really a solution to a broad problem like "hospitals can turn you away because they're mad at you now." Whenever American society develops a new situation where it's okay to kill people, it ends up killing a lot more people than it's theoretically supposed to on paper. Pointing the it's okay to kill these guys sign at half the country is a loving bad plan.

Do they gatekeep medical treatment as "fully vaccinated" with 2 doses of mRNA forever, or at some point do they say "it appears you're having a heart attack, but our records show you haven't received a booster - please leave or security will remove you"

Uptake on the booster is going to be low until people realize how bad things are

So I already got my third shot almost a month ago and I just got a reminder text that I'm supposed to come in for my "second" shot this Friday. I wonder if I should just go and get the 4th shot? It's not like things are going to get any better so might as well for for Turbo max titers

yeah sounds like a good plan. we do similar work and I’ve been lucky enough to be WFH since last March. but out of nowhere they are now pushing for a return to the office in September (lmao) - and my kiddo starts school in a few weeks so I took the plunge. I wanted to wait a little longer for a booster but i also don’t want to gently caress around and find out given my changing circumstances lol

People who have kids and love them don’t want to gamble even if the “risk is small”. Also, the risk is small because many people have isolated their kids and kept them safe so as not to expose them. My kids have seen two other families with kids in 2 years and played with some neighborhood kids at the playground that we know. They’re are also very happy and not OCD like I am about cleaning and sanitizing. Even after the poo poo year and a half we’ve been through.

The visitor has 'been dealing with a cold for a couple days' featuring runny nose, a little sneezing and coughing last night.

I mean I try not to do that part, that was a stupid one... but I can definitely be stubborn and refuse to quit once I've committed. I also sprained my ankle pretty good once trail running because I had already driven to the trail and gently caress it if it's muddy and slick, I'm here damnit!

I do wait until 4 hours after taking the meds though to exercise (which is about when they wear off). I did ask about it combining them with exercise early on though and the doc said it shouldn't really be a problem. The problem with running on the hot and humid day is that I just shouldn't have done it at all I think.

Edit: Oh and the max is just that, like a full on HIT type max where you want to vomit. That is not like a typical max for every session, and I don't really do HIT these days.

Iirc Italy and other places prioritized treatment for young people and let the old die since they couldn't be saved, this is the same concept


Was idly thinking about why my cousin in law got such bad covid. Late 40s, good shape, but not an endurance runner or anything so no immune suppression. His kid catches covid from classmate, dad catches from him, they both test positive and leave the house to isolate. Neither have symptoms at all

Then they spend 6 hours driving to a cabin. Day or two later cousin is insanely sick, drives back, is even worse and ER visits happen. My theory is he got a bunch more virus by hotboxing it with his kid and didn't realize it would add to what was currently in his system and it overwhelmed his antibodies.
I've never heard of anyone ever suggesting getting a second viral load while you're fighting the first infection, but wouldn't this be possible and explain a lot

Doc does know about the typical 175bpm avg feeling comfortable for me (that was also where I'd end up before starting on Adderall). He says he usually has a higher than rule of thumb heart rate during exercise too and that it's not really a big deal.

175 is like zone 4 for me I'd say based on the highly scientific "can still talk in short bursts, but not conversationally" metric.

Yes I know the same paper bag test means racist doctors will say darker people aren't gonna make it . which is a good example of why seeing if someone is vaccinated and making that a hard line would help obviate the problem

The New Yorker: Have You Already Had a Breakthrough COVID Infection?

Dhruv Khullar posted:

In one sense, defining a breakthrough infection is straightforward: you have one if you test positive two or more weeks after completing all recommended doses of a COVID vaccine. But, in another sense, the meaning of the term is unclear. A highly sensitive P.C.R. test has detected some of the virus’s genetic code inside your nose. So what?

“Your body doesn’t produce infinite amounts of antibodies,” Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization who studies the push and pull between hosts and pathogens, told me. “Your lymph nodes are not, like, the horn of plenty.” It’s possible to be exposed to more virus than the antibodies in your nose can handle. Still, Rasmussen said, “When you’ve been immunized and get an ‘infection’ ”—she raised her hands in scare quotes—“or, I should say, when you test positive by P.C.R.—that doesn’t mean there’s a robust viral infection raging in your body. Even if some cells do get infected, other parts of the immune system spring into action and stop it from spreading.” She went on, “Is that an infection That’s a philosophical question. Technically, some cells got infected and the virus started to replicate. But the immune system prevented you from getting sick and shedding copious amounts of virus that can go on to infect someone else.”

Rasmussen thinks that, when it comes to asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic cases, the term “breakthrough infection” is somewhat misleading. “It doesn’t describe how vaccines work very well,” she said. In such cases, the vaccines have actually succeeded, and there’s no meaningful sense in which the virus has broken through. Instead of using the breakthrough metaphor, Rasmussen suggests imagining an encounter between two armies. “The immune system has multiple specialized units that can be deployed strategically and dynamically,” she said. “The virus has some tricks up its sleeve, but, compared to the human immune system, it doesn’t have as much at its disposal. It’s like ‘Lord of the Rings’ or ‘Troy’: one army usually kicks the other’s rear end. If you’re vaccinated, your immune system is ready, it’s better equipped, and it usually kicks the virus’s rear end.”

The real issue with breakthrough infections is the ontological characteristics of viruses which modern medicine ignores. Heres a hypothetical to prove my point:

The level of consent manufacturing that’s gearing up is beyond what I’d imagine but then again I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

You basically remade the point I made so I'll just add that "let unvaccinated people die" is not some bright line that we can draw.

I'm not the OP, I'm just saying we need to be vigilant about the issue and not get too excited about neglecting unvaccinated people. Many people are unvaccinated due to systemic issues created deliberately by the same folks who put themselves first in line for vaccines, after all.
