Covid, day 11: still niggling cough, will no doubt take time until I will be able to resume my normal exercise routine. About to take another RAT: place your bets folks, place your bets. Smart money is on positive at 3 to 2.

I don't remember who it was, but I believe someone in the fitness thread took a month off from their routine after getting over covid. Hope your test is negative.

It took me almost a month exactly from when I started feeling sick until I got to a point where I felt like I could put in a decent week. I dropped my weights down around 20% and that ended up feeling pretty good. This week I'm back up to about where I was and don't feel any worse off. Unless covid has swiss cheesed my brain and I can't tell the difference anymore.

lol that capitalism gave COVID an optimized development pipeline of unvax -> vax -> vax + mAB populations with increasing selectivity and then just said "Ok that looks good, now everyone go get it!"

I was at targets fan aisle today thinking of new CR cube designs since some of the fans don’t need shrouds . there was one you can wall mount that is probably quieter than a box fan.

I did get my mini filters in so time to build the mini one.

Oh, looks like I finally caught up. Last 50 pages been hitting rock bottom as far as will to power itt is concerned, and I much feel the same.

Not much to report from my anecdotes other than the expected :

Still only got COVID the one time due to npi fatigued spouse.
Both children, under pressure of the gaslighting society and their mum are over COVID. They keep falling ill (Stomach bugs ! Allergies !) , all 3 now resistant to testing and I just insulate myself from them because I know if I push things to a head with their co-responsable parent, I will be forced to sever fully leaving them in financial destitution on the longer term even if I walk away from all the law would entitle me to...(I'm the weirdo that slept in the tent through their Omi bout in depth of winter to try and not infect my children, for context)
I've given up trying to help people out with relevant info on the workfloor, and have taken to openly insulting the executives for the last month or two, but some offers for wfh positions are already in so w/e.
Need to lay off the hooch since I've been overdoing it, even by my standards.


Not great not terrible !
I guess I'm gonna need some therapy and I'll be fine.

Sorry that your family isn't on the same page, it really sounds like the ultimate nightmare. I have no idea what I'll ever do if my wife breaks. Good job on openly insulting the executives, I daydream about doing this all the time even though I'm unemployed now.

I am at least getting good at swabbing, but each time I swab my cheeks I regret not going to the dentist when we were at like our all time low levels. I'm starting to fear I'll turn into another buddykins

over the past ~14 days i had a sore throat that moved around and then dived deep into my chest and gave me the worst coughing "lungs full of fiberglass" destroy my voice resting heart rate up 20+ bpm overnight. also had 10 negative pcr tests during that time. last night, my girlfriend, who has the same thing and also a slew of negative pcr tests, couldn't catch her breath from coughing.

i have an oximeter and it doesn't look like we ever dropped below 96 but boy, either this is the world's worst hellcold or there's a pcr-evading strain in boston

If you both had it that bad but no loss of smell or taste it could legitimately have been a nasty cold.

yeah, rapid tests (throat swabbed) were also negative, and no loss of smell/taste. what's interesting is that you see a pattern around My University Employer's dorms where student have these bad cold symptoms for several days and then only pop PCR positive a few days in. so i'm wondering if one of the things that is happening there is coinfections with a bad cold and presymptomatic covid.

Don't worry I bet they will announce a new generation of rapid tests any day now, and the variant specific boosters should be ready in a week or two I would guess.
