Also the doomsday econ thread is just kinda fun to read. The fact that we’ve been riding a bubble that should’ve popped in 2017 or whatever, that’s just gravy.

I can’t get my rss feed to update, and it’s been that way for a month. Not the end of the world to listen on patreon, but has anyone else had this problem?

I dunno man. Davos and other rich circlejerk conferences utilize COVID mitigations while telling the rest of us that periodical infections where we put more bullets in the gun after getting got each time are just fine.

It doesn't matter if the COVID thread is right in the wrong way. Turns out, you'll take whatever you can get after public health policy is left to individual mandate.

Covid is the number 3 cause of death behind all types of heart disease combined and all types of cancer combined. Expressing any concern about this is considered a sign of mental illness.

There was a window of time between the studies came out showing the waning efficacy of the vaccines and the government approving boosters. Plenty of people jumped ahead of the government's approval and got "boosters" early by giving a fake name and getting another first shot.

I don't know if anyone actually intentionally got all the different types of shot, but if you were going in for your "booster" and they had the other brand on tap, why not? I got Pfizer first and then Moderna.

I only got the first 2 shots, no boosters, got covid last summer, had a moderate fever/flu feeling for a week, then nothing after that. Long covid is fake/psychosomatic.

It absolutely is not, my roommate got it very very early on and has had some issues ever since. He's gotten better but it's been very slow. It does seem to be more of a thing with the earlier variants. He also got a humongous dose of it because he was a therapist grad student at the time and spent an hour in a small closed off room with someone who had it

Kind of a mid episode for me. I liked the guests but most of the readings, save for the "podcast bro" one at the end, were not all that interesting.

Felix didn't seem as...stoned out of his gourd (?) this time.

Long COVID isn't fake, just as candidiasis and Lyme disease aren't fake. But for unsurprising reasons it's a popular pseudoscientific focus for people's anxiety.

I got it after the same and only felt flu-ish for 24 hours if that but I had the worst cough I've ever had for about a month afterwards.

I had a cough like that after I had what I thought was covid, but wasn't, last winter. I think it's due to coughing because of the infection that then develops into a self perpetuating cough due to soreness.

Of course I'm being sort of hyperbolic about long covid, there is some reality to it, but I'm sure at least 90% of cases are just psychosomatic.

He had really intense fatigue following the infection that lasted for months before it started to improve and would get random bouts of body aches. It also definitely impacted his lung capacity for a long time afterward because he was a jogger prior to getting it and it knocked him down pretty hard. He would also get headaches when trying to exercise. I think it took him like six months to start to get back to where he was. This was all prior to the vaccine and he was one of the earliest people to come down with it, just prior to the lockdown. I basically didn't see him come out of his room for 2 weeks and every time I did he looked like death so I know he got hit real hard

Yeah that sounds real, and it seems like the early variants of covid were the hardest hitting ones, the current ones barely make you sick.

Also you can get long *any virus* because sometimes the immune system just fucks up. It's not exactly new in the way it gets breathlessly reported on, although it probably went up somewhat due to the sheer volume of covid infections.

I got a normal cold before covid started that stretched out into an 8 month battle with extreme allergies that required an epi-pen a couple times, only to just go away on its own.
