The concept of a person recovering from long Covid is mockable because everyone already knew that was true. The people that pretend it was something like chromosomal damage of telomeres or zombie heart cells or airborne aids or something we’re just stroking to doom porn with things they don’t really believe. Him recovering didn’t require telomere Lengthening or a heart lung transplant or bone marrow injections or anything extraordinary.

Got boosted, but mixed manufacturers this time, jumping onto Moderna from the Pfizer train. Have to admit it makes me a little nervous, though the pharmacist pointed out it's only a half-dose.slorb posted:Given the CDC isn't even trying to hide its lust for death these days, who are the public health bodies worth listening to? Are there any European ones with a good track record? Germany has not only an entire vaccine committee in it's public health apparatus, but when there became concerns about Moderna's risk of cardiac complications they took the unusual step of suggesting Pfizer for people under 30, so they're more cautious than most of the world without going full Israel and jumping at the very first study.

Michael Penis posted:God I hate capital. If it weren't for capital, we could build a paradise. But instead we're all going to get a disease that causes AIDS-like symptoms and mental decline worse than Alzheimer's, even in the vaccinated. Michael Penis posted:I think it was Anthony Leonardi who compared T-cell waning in covid patients to that of AIDS patients. He's a reputable source. I forget the source for the Alzheimer's thing but it was a solid study. But no, pointing out the seriousness of this disease and that the Democrat Party has buttfucked us with their response is considered "satire." you never actually provided any sources for the mildly sensational claim that COVID-19 causes damage similar to both AIDS and Alzheimers (even if vaccinated!), despite a couple posters asking for any evidence whatsoever to back that up tbh this is an obvious troll. basically the opposite of what the Fancy Pelosi gimmick account was doing. posting the most extreme dumbass takes and then coming back in a month or two to insist this is evidence that the mods are biased or whatever there have been some pretty wild and scientifically unfounded claims made by posters itt on both extremes. "COVID is actually airborne AIDS and Alzheimers" is not one of them. why do I care? HIV/AIDS is not a funny joke to score internet argument points and if you are actually a leftist you presumably have some shred of empathy for the tens of millions of people living with HIV/AIDS globally (largely LGBTQ+, sex workers, POC, people in sub-Saharan Africa in no particular order) can you provide evidence that COVID causes immune damage similar to HIV/AIDS and brain damage similar to Alzheimers, including in the vaccinated? put up or shut up.

I've been working from home since I got my job in September, and my office has been pushing a January 3 return date for the last few months. Given that Covid cases are currently at literally the highest level they have ever been in my state, and basically guaranteed to rise over the next two weeks, I keep waiting for the "lol, jk" email, but it hasn't come yet.

So, we've been taking health advice from the CDC for the past 2 years. And now they change their stance and it is hard for me to take CDC criticism seriously when it is just a bunch of "CDC is sucking capitalism's dick, gently caress the CDC." Like, are there any papers and stuff to show that the 5 days if asymptomatic thing is bad?

Of course asymptomatic spread is a thing, but that is why there are still recommendations to mask up and keep to yourself. Is it a thing that can be done responsibly by the majority of the population? I'm trying really hard here to recognize that some of my thinking is flawed based upon the economic system I've grown up in and and been told is normal. But I get dismissive when I hear "they just want us to get back to work and continue being a cog in the wheel". I also just want to be a human being again and figure out a way to not endanger anyone while doing so.

I see it as depending on the source's incentives. Like, if someone called me up and asked "I still test COVID positive, should I go to work and/or the mall?" I'd say no.

How much of an outlier is it for someone to test positive for covid after 5 days? How likely is it for an asymptomatic person to spread covid when they are masking up? Why didn't the the CDC post studies and evidence backing their revised decision? Is this just a compromise to get people to actually do something versus nothing?

How likely is it for an asymptomatic person to spread covid when they are masking up? Why didn't the the CDC post studies and evidence backing their revised decision? Is this just a compromise to get people to actually do something versus nothing? -Not an outlier at all, according to the data in the linked tweet thread -Unknown, but with the coming of Omicron the answer appears to be pretty likely -Because there really aren't any  -Probably in part The main thing is that the CDC's revision to their guidance came after healthcare systems started moving in that direction on their own as a last resort measure to maintain staffing levels. Keeping asymptomatic cases off the job for too long was straining their already overburdened capacity. This makes a certain amount of sense in a darkly pragmatic way for vital workers in absolutely necessary positions that are already swamped and facing a staffing crisis, less so as guidance for the general public. You do what you gotta do to survive but the considerate thing is to lay low as much as you can when you are carrying an infectious disease.

Add another anecdotal positive COVID to the pile: 28F, received two doses of Moderna in August and July presenting with two days of sore throat, headache and a little myalgia. No cough or shortness of breath, vitals stable, satting well, 99.4F temp. Sent her home and told her forget the new guidelines and quarantine for 10 days.

Delta's CEO requested pretty much the same thing that the CDC did not too long after. As for the science behind the CDC's decision: there isn't any. The CDC says you can stop quarantining even if your symptoms are resolving, if I recall correctly. Well, guess what? That means you're definitely still infectious. And if it is omicron, a surgical mask won't be enough for prolonged periods of indoor company. It is an indefensible decision.

He's clearly pushing the "Omicron is mild" narrative by showing the initial presentation in young vaccinated people, which should neither come as a surprise nor just be accepted at face value as the whole impact of the disease. The acute phase is almost irrelevant in that population, so far.
