I heard on a podcast that if you get Covid like four or five times, afterwards you’ll just be stupid for the rest of your life. Is that true?

Is that true? you can undo it by taking 1 (one) acid for each time, but be warned if you cross the 7 (seven) mark you will be considered legally insane. so it's kind of a trade off that every one needs to decide whether is best for them and their lifestyle.

Paradoxish posted:I'll occasionally catch someone talking about polio on a podcast or a youtube video or whatever and you can sometimes see a tiny little crack ping going off in their brains when they talk about it in relation to COVID. I've seen that reaction so many times now. They have that brief moment of "Hm, what if COVID actually is bad?", but then their brain short circuits and redirects to "I must live my life." I think it's just hard to change the lifestyle you've become accustomed to (i.e. masking, etc.), so people embrace denial. They think "If I can have my treats and not modify my lifestyle at all whatsoever, I'll acknowledge COVID is bad." The same way liberals address any other issue.

Oracle posted:so we’re no true Scotsman-ing it, gotcha. sure, but unlike the bit you're referencing, the categories "leftist" and "liberal" have clear criteria defining and separating them. One example is that a leftist will embody community-mindedness and community care and wear a mask in public. A liberal does not think of their community and will sometimes mask to avoid punishment but ultimately their shallow child-like level of moral development becomes clear. hope this helps!

https://twitter.com/WADeptHealth/status/1769766018971222350 “This updated respiratory virus isolation guidance reflects that we're in a better place now in the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Dr. Tao Sheng Kwan-Gett, Chief Science Officer, DOH. “But while life is returning to normal in many ways, we must remember that for many in our community with chronic conditions and weakened immune systems, respiratory virus infections such as COVID-19, flu, and RSV remain a deadly threat. Each week, more than a dozen people in our state lose their lives to COVID-19 each week. We must not rest until that number is zero.” Well we had about a week of holding out before following suit. Nice while it lasted. https://doh.wa.gov/emergencies/covid-19/prevent-spreading-respiratory-viruses

The Oldest Man posted:"Feeling normal" has never been about doing the activities, it's always about been fulfilling class and cultural role expectations and I'll tell you the most basic reason why: feeling normal isn't a freestanding feeling, it's coded language for an absence of shame. When they aren't performing their assigned roles, most people feel shame. That's an adaptive emotional response in the context of a social and economic support structure (friends, work, spouse, etc.) that is heavily conditioned on those role expectations being fulfilled. People may not - and actually almost certainly won't - admit that they're afraid of being abandoned, but shame is their brain telling them to feel bad about doing things that could lead to that outcome. Feeling shame, or imagining a shameful outcome, is also a very strong motivator to police group behavior because if you're worried about being out-grouped you're going to be hypervigilant of those in-group signifiers in others as well as yourself. I know this is a week old comeback but GAT drat this is a good post. Thank you, Oldest Man

i'm looking for a good vented aura for long distance running, and some how stumbled across this quote on US abc news back from 2020quote:While valve masks outwardly appear like a technological step up from a homemade cloth or a standard surgical mask, an old fashioned cloth or surgical mask is actually superior for the COVID-19 pandemic. "Cloth and surgical masks would clearly rank superior ... the N95 valve mask doesn't protect everyone around me. Of course, the major reason the CDC began to recommend the universal use of masks in the community was because of asymptomatic infection and wishing to reduce the transmission from the person who is infected to others," Schaffner said ahhh the good old days... but anyways, any opinions on this 3M P2 N95 9322A+ Respirator Aura Flat Fold Mask with valve as a good vented aura for running?
