a guy on a work call had to stop talking so he could cough and then he said "sorry my covid is killing me here." and I don't think he was being sarcastic. he sounded like total dog poo poo.

Soap Scum posted:oh but uhhhh careful maybe, drinking water too much/too fast is also legit dangerous. almost killed my music teacher once. good luck :') One of those things you wouldn't think is dangerous, but it is. I once drank 15 litres of water over the course of a day and got hyponatremia. I ate pickles with extra salt poured on them and they tasted sweet because I needed the salt so badly. The doctor told me to eat a lot of ramen and canned soup.

There's a new rule against speculating people have covid, even when they have obvious covid symptoms. Saying "I have covid" is a symptom of covid

theres a singular thing that is causing widespread, societally statistically significant increases of certain conditions and outcomes far beyond what can be regarded as coincidence or statistical noise but it's definitely NOT what results in those conditions and outcomes for any specific public figure, nor can we mull over whether it is, here in the thread about that singular thing.

It should be illegal to say that this weather event or that weather event was “fuelled by climate change” unless you can point to peer‐reviewed attribution analysis stating the same.

I think speculating if some young guy you know who suddenly had a heart attack might have been made more susceptible by having had covid five times is fine, but no one is ever, ever going to suddenly care about covid because Beyonce or Joe Biden dies of it and parasocial gossip posting is always garbage.

I spent the afternoon calling around western Washington trying to find any pharmacy or healthcare provider that was offering the new pediatric Covid shots for under-3yo. Not a single place had it. My kid is due for shot #2 of her two-dose primary Moderna series next week. Pediatricians office said they don't have anything now, and won't be stocking Moderna anymore. gently caress gently caress gently caress. For a laugh, navigate to vaccines.gov and type in any zip code and select the 6mo vaccine filters. Not a single hit for 100 miles in NYC, Seattle, Portland, nor San Francisco. There are 4 places that supposedly offer it outside of LA.

In the greater Seattle area, my local Walmart has Moderna in stock for adults. And plenty of appointments on their website. Hope that can help someone.

Insanite posted:I agree that it’s a little odd to assume this is related to COVID and not, say, Matt’s prodigious use of various substances, but I’m also not sure how to talk about things like this in the future where the following facts hold: you at least know your parents had covid. This was never about acquaintances or family members, fosborb added the rule after a bunch of mostly context-free tweets about things happening to celebrities. I'm not talking about Physics Girl openly discussing long covid either, I mean that I don't see the point of speculating about whatever this thing that happened to chapo trap house guy was, or what the undisclosed cause of sudden death was for that 72 year-old university president who may or may not have had covid at some point.

NeonPunk posted:I hate those kind of studies. Like the other educational study posted previously, they never stopped and once considered that Covid itself could be a cause in of itself. We already know that Covid infects your brain directly since 2021! since March 2020 actually. It was the thing that clued me in to how fuckin serious this is.

my mother-in-law was feeling sick this week. tested positive. she’s taken many rapid tests over the years but never tested positive before. she tested negative the next day. so now assumes the positive test was faulty. she would never assume any of the past, negative tests were ever faulty. but now will continue to operate as if she’s never had covid. even though she’s surely caught it at least one of the times it’s ripped through her community over these last few years. and even though she just tested positive.

He did mention he has various discs and things in his signing off video from a few days ago. So this is probably an escalation of that issue he is actively having checked out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5cPte9RFFw&t=4123s But he also had covid for the first time in December 22.

Speaking as someone who has done an actual, administered-by-professionals IQ test and was classified a "gifted" kid because of it, they're absolutely bunk for a variety of reasons. At best they measure a very narrow definition of intelligence that's only really useful when you're in school. That speech Joel McHale gives at the end of the first episode of Community about getting by without having to try and then not knowing how to work hard was one of those "I'm in this picture and I don't like it" moments.

I've said it before, but I think that with the new system - where the risk of ordering too many doses are carried by the pediatrician/pharmacy - the quickest way to actually get a pediatric dose is to gather a bunch of like-minded parents. If you can remove the purchase risk by bandying together, you have a much more enticing offer to shop around with. This is particularly true in Western Washington, which may be one of the few places where this thread alone might be able to muster the required 10 dose minimum order. I wrote out minimum orders and such in this post: Pingui posted:(..)

i really do think that discussion of the normalization of covid-driven mass death and disability should be in bounds for the covid thread, but i'm just a random poster. i kind of think that's what that poster was getting at? parasocial weirdness or going right to "celebrity must've got got! covid!" is less tasteful.

The boundaries of taste are where they are in large part because of the normalization of mass death and misery. It's that whole social front to the pandemic that was lost real real hard. It's much more interesting to talk about at the higher level though - E: like how a focus on individual responsibility has made getting sick a personal failing and thus something shameful.

BA.2.86 data and analysis. Sorry that it is so long. Particular items worth noting in order of appearance: i) it is spread far and wide with no epidemiological link, ii) BA.2.86 has high ACE2 binding affinity, iii) in the sub-50 age cohorts apparently only women get tested in the UK, iv) global sequencing is weeks behind, v) the live virus assay showed much worse results than the pseudovirus, but has some caveats and vi) the UK is a petri dish of assorted variants.https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...cal-briefing-55 posted:SARS-CoV-2 variant surveillance and assessment: technical briefing 55

Bringing up Matt's situation in that context is weird as gently caress though. Like this, this is a super weird to point out in the current context.

I also have no idea what discussing larger implications looks like compared to quoting language used in a specific case that brings mass death normalization to mind. really does feel like a weather and climate distinction to me. I do not think the original post was doing parasocial weirdness. felt more like, “here’s yet another person who had an unexpected and serious health event, and the language in the announcement made my brain twinge in that now familiar way.”
