empty whippet box posted:don't worry, it's not zika. it's probably just some so-far unknown horrific effect of covid, which means it's absolutely nothing to worry about at all. imagine the relief that mother will feel when she's told that her baby had comorbidities, so their disfigurement and or death was far milder than it could have been if it weren't covid iirc covid can also cause baby head shrinkage if a pregnant woman gets it, or some other similarly horrifying effects on a developing baby fucks that’s so horrible.

bad boys for life posted:turns out there is so much paxlovid supply you can get scripts ahead of time, just got 2 to sit on a shelf til next time How does this work? do you ask your doctor to write you a script for paxlovid in case you get covid? I've never had a doctor write me a prescription unless I was actively sick so I'm pleasantly surprised.

just remember to make sure your mask/respirator is bagged up before you spray yourself with mosquito repellant because I'm sure that poo poo will wreck your filters

Atrocious Joe posted:Other fools: I don't have COVID, it's just allergies I legit have had horrid allergies since last Monday when while mowing my lawn my kids decided it'd be fun to take a bunch of the grass clippings and douse me in them, which I of course had to do to them, which led to all of us having stuffy noses and coughs. took three separate Biden Tests, including swabbing my throat, and each one came back very negative. I'm feeling much better today and have that post-allergy clear nose but with productive coughing. allergies right now are very real but so is covid so ymmv.

It's just the fact that it's now even something that has entered the conversation that's loving wild but also a direct result of decisions they had control over. how horrible

when it's cold as poo poo outside I wear my n95 outside too just because it's warmer and I don't want to wear a scarf. wearing a mask to help with allergies would also be a good use of masks, but no, the most important thing is that nobody has to be horrifically oppressed by the awful awful fate of having a mask on, which is the worst thing that could possibly ever happen to anyone.

i know i'm preaching to the choir, but honestly, i literally do not yet know how to cope if i were ever infected. i still don't plan to be, and i am doing everything possible to stay ahead of the curve and prevent that, but the fact is that selfish people are actively making it harder and harder to avoid COVID and my brain cannot accept the inevitability of likely being disabled, chronically ill, and/or immunocompromised the rest of my life, and the powers that be apparently actively want that to happen. literally, it triggers my fight-or-flight reflex to think about it, and i am just constantly tense and elevated to the point it has caused me physical pain and discomfort since Omicron hit. everything got worse at that point, and that's when people gave up. i have had full on anxiety attacks thinking about a dental appointment next month. i have had anger issues i've never had before, and i've cut off pretty much all of my friends recently because they just don't care, are happy to openerup, and think i am just being irrational. i would personally be overwhelmed with shame and rage if i were infected because i am the only one i know who gives a poo poo, the only one i know who is apparently concerned with or morally responsible to other people. it doesn't help that i do literally have OCD over moral and ethical matters. i am having nightmares about being exposed on a regular basis and i'm not sleeping well. i am angrier and angrier every day, and the only thing people tell me is that i am 1) overreacting because they think i won't literally die on a vent and 2) "you're gonna get it, embrace it!!! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!" actual cultish, zombie poo poo. this loving pandemic took not only obviously the things that i wanted to do (that other people are selfishly, recklessly doing anyway and complaining about because they are mad other people aren't), but being able to reliably do the things i have to do that i've put off and that i have to schedule around the consequences of their selfishness. it has destroyed any social network i had, it's made me view everyone as a threat to my wellbeing, and every day just sucks. i have no dopamine left, but plenty of cortisol and adrenaline. i was traumatized and living with that before, but this is compounding and exacerbating that because it's traumatic in of itself. i think i would probably survive infection but i don't know, none of us can know how bad it would be, acutely or chronically. i do know now that my friends absolutely don't care and have 100% given up trying either way. they're incredibly privileged and ignorant. and if i were infected and even disabled/chronically ill it would be a thing i would have to integrate like anyone else who is, but gently caress, dude, this poo poo loving sucks. i don't think brains are built to just endure unending panoramic horror and callous, calculated brutality like this. 1,000,000+ people in the USA died from this! in 2 years! gently caress! and yes, i am in therapy. i'm doing my best to stay well and to navigate this. it's just, gently caress, man. the thing is, *how i feel is rational and justified*. it's not an irrational thing or cognitive distortion, poo poo is extremely dangerous. but i don't know what to do with that fact. human beings are loving awful, and i will never be what i was before this, even just before omicron. hell, i was normally too shy to even  until recently. i just hope against hope all of us can stay as infection free as possible. i hope we can avoid as many ill effects as possible. i'm cheering on everyone who wants to stay safe and i want to share that because it's more and more lonely being one of those people and we don't get people cheering us on.

3 months ago my father in law and his wife got COVID. They hadn't been masking in public for months (karaoke, dart team stuff, bars 2-3x a week), felt like poo poo for two weeks and went back to the normal stuff. They have a roommate who did not get covid because she didn't show any symptoms (lol) About a month ago, she claims her "fibromyalgia and IBS are acting up" and isnt feeling good so she cant help around the house anymore.......and I guess she's been ordering grocery delivery for a few weeks now. She left the house for the first time in weeks on Tuesday. .....And shes ventilated in the ICU right now with "ammonia" per my FIL. E: And my FIL just had a brainscan because his lips have been going numb randomly since covid Pillowpants has issued a correction as of 18:34 on Mar 25, 2022 |
