Cabbages and Kings posted:It's about to be ski season but I'd prefer to not have a heart attack, is there any guidance there other than "wait a month from when you weren't sick anymore to do any hardcore cardio"? To be clear, it isn’t hardcore cardio after a month. It’s a graded return to cardio as tolerated. As I recall it would look like a two mile walk at 20 min/mile, with a day off between. Sorry about your season, but at least if you are cautious you might be able to enjoy future seasons?

If someone ran a poll question asking if someone thinks covid just disappeared I wonder what percentage of people would answer yes. I bet somewhere between a third and a half.

Honestly I don’t see the point of tweets like that anymore. Of course you were exposed to COVID at the convention. And at the hotel. And on the flight there. And at the restaurants and bars you went to. You don’t need to actually have knowledge of someone popping positive to know that.

the refusal to say/print the word "covid" is insane it has absolutely worked in erasing covid from people's minds. watching the realtime deployment of language in such an obvious way to shape thought has been something incredible to see.

Regarding COVID-19, please know, currently we are not following any specific protocols (i.e. required masking, distancing, isolating periods), nor are we asking families to report positive cases to the district. We now look at COVID as an endemic, not a pandemic, due to the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s expiration of the federal Public Health Emergency (PHE) declaration. The district will treat COVID-19 as an upper respiratory illness and follow our traditional protocols related to fevers as a consideration for sending students home and returning to school. Masking remains a personal option for any student or employee.

Anne Whateley posted:Iirc early on there was a huge pdf about rehabbing D1 athletes, which is probably overkill for most goons, but a little princess treatment is nice, for a functioning heart. I can’t find that now, but there’s this After quickly looking stuff up on some patient side physical therapy sites: the CDC description which is the first result is unhelpful here, but some sites suggest an 18-19 is the most that most people have experienced, and a 17 is the point of longer forms of fatigue or concentrated acute effort like extended full sprints. A lot of the discussion also centers around heart rate (multiply each number by 10 for a corresponding heart rate in the middle of an exercise for a healthy 20 year old, scale the multiplier down a bit with age) rather than other longer forms of physical fatigue. Perhaps the heart rate aspect is more useful here for cardiovascular diseases or even for the scale in general? But in any case, that at least it gives me an idea of what they're going for and how my subjective idea of exertion might line up with the scale. For reference for the other end of the scale, examples of "6" I saw proposed were things like "laying in bed awake" and "sitting down", and "7" is like "standing up but still". Having people take 7 days after symptoms dissipate to do basically nothing more strenuous than a slow walk seems like ambitious amount of non-productivity for most people, especially if they weren't in the hospitalization or acute cardiac symptoms groups.

Nobody cares about Covid anymore and it's kinda fascinating to me because I can certainly see the subtle impact Covid is having on everything. Not the obvious thing but the smaller things. Like on Tiktok, I follow several young fitness and weight lifting creators that produce videos for their young audiences. Lately they've been making more and more videos on exercises for weak knees, how to alleviate back pains, ways to reduce pain in your feets and strengthen your hips. Ya know... old people common problems. Also been seeing a awfully lot of advertising that's targeted to younger folks for blue chews, and other ED medicines. Hair growth medicines for hair loss too as well. It's almost as if there's something that's going around aging our population on the cellular level, what could it be?

Four days post-party and I'm going to run a Cue test on myself. Based on all the above discussion should I throat swab, or nose, or both on one swab (and in what swabbing order)?

If you don't mind putting snot in your mouth, the order you do a swab shouldn't matter. (Everyone always say do throat then your nose)

Even knowing that, thanks to post-nasal drip, my nose and throat mucus are identical, I still do not want boogers on my uvula. But, I would take it for the team if it worked better.

I feel like I’m seeing a ton of hair loss stuff for women.

TehSaurus posted:To be clear, it isn’t hardcore cardio after a month. It’s a graded return to cardio as tolerated. As I recall it would look like a two mile walk at 20 min/mile, with a day off between. Sorry about your season, but at least if you are cautious you might be able to enjoy future seasons? I appreciate the concern, but, the complex spreadsheet the other person posted showed (lacking any symptoms) a potential return to usual baseline levels in a minimum of 5 weeks and of course all these ideas are extremely conservative compared to what the general medical establishement says  Mentioning skiiing was poor framing because it's a voluntary opulent thing. The way I ski involves less sustained cardio and not higher maximum heartrate, than "basic life as we live it": we chew through 750-1200 pounds of firewood some weeks, which needs to be moved multiple times; I paid a cousin to do this once and have been since keeping up on it as carefully as possible, but then on top of that, sometimes one of the kids does something unpredictable and I have to break into an absolute sprint and push myself into the 120-130 bpm range for some period of time until the situation is under control. That's not something I can outsource to anyone and "parenting" is probably literally my most significant exercise activity. I've explained to the kids that poo poo like vigorous piggyback rides etc are off the table for a while, but it's the involuntary, daily stuff that's pushing me back towards "usual levels of activity" before I'd like to be there. Fortunately for me, aside from skiing, all my hobbies and my work is quite sedentary. Suzera posted:Having people take 7 days after symptoms dissipate to do basically nothing more strenuous than a slow walk seems like ambitious amount of non-productivity for most people, especially if they weren't in the hospitalization or acute cardiac symptoms groups. It's literally impossible for huge groups of people that include people whose employment and cashflow needs prohibit it, to basically any parent of small children who can't afford to pay 24/7 help, and I am sure lots of other groups I am not thinking of. That doesn't mean it's not going to have overall negative consequences for those groups  It was impossible to avoid even worse environmental lead poisoning than we have now for a long time, because people pumped it into their cars' fuel for years; this had catastrophic public health consequences. So, something being impossibly ambitious doesn't mean it wouldn't still provide a better outcome than what is pragmatically possible.
