-"wear a mask" at the top of their email instructions was very dated, lol. I was the only one.

Speaking of things being dated, I had to visit an office earlier today and their sign-in sheet had tick boxes for people to attest that they did not have cold symptoms or had recently tested positive for covid. I was also the only person in the entire building wearing a mask

I'm not great at this either, I did shave today and am wearing and N95. Even if I was elestomer crew or papr or whatever, it's still not great to have a cloud next to me, ya? And I'm not just worried about myself, I'm worried about the others here, but I can't make them care.

I’m taking nattokinase for chest pain and this stuff smells rancid, I can only imagine what actual natto is like

You get sweet soy sauce and spicy mustard with the real stuff and that helps a lot.

With actual natto, the texture is more of a barrier than the taste, IMO. It's pretty good with a raw egg mixed into it but we can't do that in America since our eggs are hosed.

I sometimes turn down sex and blowjobs from my girlfriend because I'm too busy posting in D&D. PS: She used my credit card to pay for this.
Day 2. Kid is still the only one sick so far. Symptoms worsened a bit today - still mostly just congestion and vaguely unwell. She is now positive on a RAT. Managed to swing WFH this whole week , but not a lot I can do for her, so I continue to post too much on the forums in between playing dad nurse and work.

There's not a whole lot she can do / take, pax is out because she's too tiny - so it's just like, cold meds, fluids, comfort, lol. She's isolated / resting in her room and it's set up negative pressure(via a fan pointed out the window), so there's a chance not everyone gets it.

We're testing mom every day now via RAT and if she shows symptoms but is negative we'll use the last Lucira - if she pops positive we are to start pax. I'm a little squirrely about that given the failure mode of the luciras and the risk profile of pax, but that's what her docs say.

Just in case anyone knows someone in the Halifax area with the brain fog version of PASC:

Halifax researcher seeks COVID-19 long haulers to study effects of virus on brain
Study hopes to track changes in the brain over two-year time frame
(..)
The team plans to take MRI brain scans of people who have been infected with the virus in the last six months and are now living with long COVID and specifically symptoms of foggy thinking.

"We have functional imaging that basically measures the brain activity. So we can analyze the pattern of brain activity and then compare that to healthy controls. And in that way, we can see if there is any parts of the brain that are working differently."

They will check on participants over a two-year time frame, and are looking for at least 50 people to participate. In total, the research group would like to analyze hundreds.

Each person would also go through a battery of computer tasks that test their memory to see whether long COVID has impaired their brain function.

Hernandez is keen to explore how the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls coordination, language fluency and memory, is affected by long COVID.

"There are many different studies going on around the brain and COVID-19.… The concern is would it sort of cause more neuro-degenerative issues of the brain, we can't really answer that right now, but there are many studies going on," said Dr. Angela Cheung, a senior physician scientist at University Health Network in Toronto who has done extensive work looking into the long-term effects of COVID-19.

If you take your aranet to bits it should look like this:


If the sensor looks anything like the below it's a cheap trash knockoff. Basically a large portion of the cost of good CO2 monitors is the sensor. The cheaper ones use a sort of analog gas sensor and it sucks since it's affected by humidity and other factors. But it is also a LOT cheaper - hence many go this route.



this is fascinating. are there issues with aranet fakes? that's the kind of thing that seems so niche I never would have expected it
