things i learned today:

- people with HIV are hurt by Covid because lockdowns took them away from their support circles
- all of the vaccines are good for one reason or another, except for sinovac and sinopharm
- reinfections with Omicron after 6 weeks? this is something that really drives home the importance of hybrid immunity
- viruses naturally evolve over time to become less pathogenic
- people with HIV probably don't need a fourth shot
- one reason why the immune system of the average american is primed to fight covid is due to our awesome-as-hell T-cells

absolutely no mention of long covid in a presentation on HIV and Covid :shepface:

getting over the chin thing was difficult but now i absolutely love this thing.

I get a good seal w very little pressure, there's no need to crank it down like w other elastomerics. The gel is specifically designed to be softer than subcutaneous fat

shaving my beard off due to covid was a great thing for me. it was once mighty thick and red and had become sad, thin, and white, but i was holding on because i thought i looked hosed up and chinless without it. i still look hosed up but it's not because of my weak chin lmao. way more comfortable and less effort, i shave on Tuesday and Saturday now cuz I have to go into the office Tues+Weds. no managing a neck/cheek line, no loving up a trim and having to try fix it, etc. shaving rules

Try albuterol, sounds exactly like my asthma. Take like 3 puffs of someone's inhaler. It'll make you cough a couple of times but then you'll feel better (yeah, I'm prescribed 2 puffs but I find 3 helps better)

Asthma doesn't make me 'unable to breathe' or anything like that. it just makes me cough a lot, sometimes with thin clear mucus, sometimes without.


Trixie Hardcore posted:

Hey covid thread does not recommend you take other peoples prescription medication to see if you feel better, we recommend talking to a doctor. Please do not tell people to do this wtf

Seconding Trixie, please don't advise people to take prescriptions that aren't prescribed to them.

I will forever be baffled that it never occurred to the Trump administration or anyone else in power to try to appeal to our patriotism by framing as a fight against a common enemy. How did Trump not think to try to turn this into his Pearl Harbor moment or something? It's so weird.

Those aren't technically prescriptions afaik. It's illegal to take prescriptions not prescribed to you but there's not really any illegality to getting boosters off label that I'm aware of.

I lost the post I'd meant to respond to, but it's incredible how people can't think of this in terms of "If I go to a restaurant or bar tonight, there's a very good chance I could be dead or have permanent debilitating health conditions within two weeks. My life as I know it will be over." What meal is worth that? How have people never learned how to entertain themselves at home and/or without spending money?

The problem with this logic is the part I bolded. Most people don't make that kind of risk assessment because in their minds, the risk is simply not there in the first place. This can be for a variety of reasons, but the end result is the same.

You can't bomb a virus

Anything that promotes collective action or empathy goes against the goals of capitalism even if not doing so destabilizes the economy. If people start thinking they can achieve goals by working together it's a slippery slope to undoing years of work alienating the working class from each other, I sound like a theory weirdo but I think that's the actual answer.

e: oh but also obviously they were hoping a bunch of people they wanted dead would die, like that's a matter of record that their strategy was set once they knew it killed minorities and poor people at a higher number, I mean, yeah

Boosters aren't individually prescribed, they're authorized by billionaires by country based on politics, so it's different.
