I was sent to the ER with covid and (in addition to masking obviously) I was letting everyone know so they could mask if they wanted. The ER nurse goes “oh, don’t worry, I’ve already had it, you can’t get it again!!” This was in 2023

I'm really enjoying the rapid fire lies of this paragraph.quote:And we are still adapting to a new reality: We are not adapting. quote:The virus is endemic. No it's not. quote:Covid is no longer so different from the seasonal flu and a host of other respiratory viruses Yes it is. quote:an inconvenience for most of us but a dangerous and potentially mortal threat for some. Literally everyone is highly susceptible to Long COVID and we just (temporarily) moved past 2600 people dying a week. quote:We have ricocheted in a few short years to acceptance from terror Nothing says acceptance like denial. quote:which leaves us in a strange place: How do the majority of us move on when this virus still poses a threat to a relative few? Relative few, aka everyone quote:Can we balance our desire to forget the past few years with the lessons that we, as a country, have learned? People have been happy to metaphorically step over corpses and seal the disabled / those who don't want to become disabled off from society for somewhere between 3 years and 3 years and 10 months now. No lessons were learned (except that every decision is Valid).

I've been looking at the Austrian dashboard again. https://www.sari-dashboard.at/ The first graph is hospitalization by calendar week. It does look like Covid is basically collapsed since everyone got it before Christmas. That's in accord with the wastewater data. But also, the flu and RSV exploded after the Covid wave. Covid still peaked at 50% more hospitalizations than the sum of both, but we're actually in the same ball park. I also like the slow, but steady rise of "other" since the middle of last year. If a covid wave would cause an rsv and flu wave we'd expect the plots to look something like this.

Not thread related per se, but I have a 2018 anecdote about Australian doctors which is relevant somewhat. I didn't think an Australian doctor could say this, but I can always be disappointed further than I thought was possible, right?  I work with a dietician (legally protected term in Australia as you have to go through extensive training to be one, unlike a nutritionist which isn't legally protected) and a clinical psychologist for a business that operates in a few states: we specialise in sustainable weight loss. We have an office in a medical clinic: myself & the dietician held a Professional Development education course/getting to better know the doctors in 2018. It's technically advertising our business, but a) it counted as free Professional Development training for doctors if they attended and b) free healthy lunch was provided, so eh, at least you get a free meal if you listened to us. FYI we focus very heavily on long term behaviour changes, because most of our clients have complex conditions like POTS, PCOS, prostate cancer, heart disease etc and take lots of medication for their conditions, so we are very careful with our exercise & diet interventions. Many of our clients have tried "lose weight super quick but put it on again super quick" approaches, so they also see our clinical psychologist about creating healthy long term habits to avoid that cycle. Anyway, we did our little presentation to the doctors in the clinic: again, we share an office in the same space and were hoping to build up their medical referrals, so we had to be very, very diplomatic. At the end, we had this depressing conversation. Doctor: "What kind of medications do you give? It's no good doing healthy exercise, diet or psychological changes if you're not giving them medications at all." Us: "We're focused on long term behaviour change as clients have tried the quick option & had no long term success as they didn't change their habits, so we try and address things from that angle. Plus prescribing weight loss medication to our clients who are already on medication for cancer, PCOS & other significant co-morbidities is complicated in terms of side effects or drug interactions. Finally neither of us are doctors or RNs, so prescribing medication isn't in our scope of practice anyway." Doctor: "It's medically impossible to lose weight without medication. No one has ever lost weight ever in history without medication, so you're not really helping the clients are you?" [90% of the doctors in the group all nodded in approval when she said this. We were both stunned and took a few moments to respond diplomatically] Us: "Uhhhhhhhh...well....as we said, it's out of our scope of practice, and our Head Office is currently focused on other methods, so it would be imprudent to make assumptions on their behalf." The practice manager at the clinic later told us that most of the doctors weren't interested in even considering non-medication options for any of their patients, period. The business I work for has to date, received four (4) referrals from that clinic in nearly seven years of operation: most of our clients come from other medical practices, who are a little more open minded shall we say. That particular doctor retired a few years ago btw. Livo has issued a correction as of 07:59 on Mar 12, 2024 |

Anyone else keeping up with Kate Middleton? I didn't wanted to post about that time they had to immediately during the night do a emergency convoy to the hospital, or how she had to go under an routine surgery later on as why she hasn't appeared in public. But now things are getting kinda weird now https://twitter.com/chrisshipitv/status/1766944328847364201/ Starting to think she has long covid (the other theory is that she's dead all this time)

I figured she had a stroke or a sudden cardiac issue. She wouldn't be the first otherwise healthy middle-age person to have a sudden, life-threatening clot-related event

yeah the basic scenario doesn't exactly require tying one's brain in knots, happens all the time in Endemic World. dunno if it would fall afoul of the Celebrity Speculation Fatwa but the type of white libs in my family have been talking about kate middleton a lot. theories about some sort of complication from a pregnancy that upon examination resulted in an emergency hysterectomy or some such. mainly because of the timeline of events and adjustments to expected recovery times. any number of things that are dangerous about being pregnant even in the Good Times, exacerbated by or in synergy with a nosocomial covid infection would fit the bill. and if she's in ANY state of disability the demons in the royal family will brook absolutely no publication of that fact

Have some death (sometimes), as a compromise.

The funniest part about these articles is always the author telling on themselvesquote:In January, we flew halfway across the world to visit family in Dubai. At first, I thought that the stringent COVID precautions he was taking to protect himself on the airplane were over the top. In addition to wearing an N95 mask for 13 straight hours, he kept a personal air purifier at his seat at all times. But now I can see those actions for what they are. He was doing everything he could to make the trip work. In his way, he wanted to see me happy. The wife (author) doesn't even wear a mask on the plane to protect her immune-compromised husband.

I’m currently waiting to find out if my kid’s sore throat is Covid and he almost certainly caught it at the mall on Saturday doing some dumb bullshit my ex dragged him to unmasked and she is exactly like the author of this piece. She knew she was dropping him directly off to a visit from my mother afterwards and there was no food at the party and the kid likes wearing masks and literally the reason not to do it is that she prefers not to give a poo poo and values that above his and our safety gently caress everything I’m just so angry about this all the time
