lmao the absolute state of scientific literacyquote:Scientists on Reddit - “Huh, interesting study. I wonder if there is a body of work that backs it up” Respondent knows what’s up though. quote:It's so hard trying to explain to someone who has no background in science that there are bad publications. I dont know anything about that journal but even if we pretend that it is excellent and does a great job with peer review, poo poo will still get through. They don't get that scientists often look at results and say "Well that doesn't sound right, let's see if anyone else finds something similar" all of the time. Context was a Finnish study on “woke” attitudes and mental illness

Let’s tell your grandma that we’re doing this, but actually engage in policy‐based evidence‐making whenever an airline wants us to.

Hashy posted:I gave up on covid precautions and I have been mysteriously sick in one mildly debilitating way or another ever since. Keep up the good work thread I got in a fight with my wife about her sister visiting this weekend due to disagreement about testing protocol and how to tell the sister about it This has all been made moot because she was at a business retreat and got so sick she's complaining on the group chat about how all her plans are ruined Life comes at you fast

Richard Lewis's character in Curb Your Enthusiasm has long COVID. It's played as a joke obviously (can't smell, doesn't notice the cheese that was left in his car) but it's the first representation of long COVID I think I've seen in popular media.

I can't remember any other show doing it.

A whole bunch of lovely reality shows had covid seasons, naturally. The funny part is that you'll still have scenes where somebody dramatically storms out of a restaurant and the camera swings around to catch some masked up boom operator or whatever

I'm probably the only goon who watched it, but most of season 11 of Shameless had a lot of covid stuff - masks and someone dying of it at the end. I won't spoil it but they have a summary here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shameless_(season_11)

I also recall a bunch of reality TV shows where sometimes a contestant or even a host or judge would disappear for a week because "they were feeling under the weather" which was never expanded upon Also someone might occasionally mention having to live in a bubble because of the show and missing their family

Oh I know of shows that covered COVID (Superstore's last season was great), but this is the first time I've seen representation of long COVID in media. Unless anyone knows some other show? All the handwashing and "press elevator buttons with your knuckles" articles were really funny to me, a person who has been living like that for decades.

A few reality tv COVID moments off the top of my head: 1000 lb sisters - Tammy got COVID. Everyone wears masks on and off with no apparent logic whatsoever. The Bachelorette - One of the contestants got COVID and got bounced from the show for it. No one seemed to realize that it meant they were all exposed. Bonus - the whole season was filmed on a cruise ship. Sister Wives - A whole lot of COVID content too complicated to get into here. MAFS Australia (current season) - 4 people on the show "got sick with something" and one of them left the show suddenly with a blood clot Plus the endless coughing in general. My wife and I both physically recoil every time, she says the coughing is our song.

There was a week or two of The Great British Baking Show where 1-2 people would be out because they were "under the weather." Never saw that happen before.

A nice little slice of COVID erasure from the Philadelphia Inquirer: https://eedition.inquirer.com/infinity/article_popover_share.aspx?guid=73bce314-9e37-4629-8d9e-98277eecaaf3&share=true Two quick highlights: quote:Ah-choooo!

'Stay home if you have allergies' is pretty loving funny. And don't feel bad about offloading some more chores and errands to your live-in nanny either. Taking it easy when you don't feel so well is a form of self-care!

Why Am I So Tired posted:Sister Wives - A whole lot of COVID content too complicated to get into here. I'll give a high-level summary since I love this subject! The polygamist husband used COVID to detonate his relationships with his first three wives, who he was no longer attracted to. He basically made it impossible for him to spend meaningful time with anyone but one family. This was done under the guise of "taking precautions about COVID," only he wasn't consistent in his application of the rules, and made the rules so absurd and impossible that even I thought it was too much. I was conflicted watching it, because it was nice to see someone give a poo poo about COVID, but I really strongly suspect it was just the husband leveraging the pandemic as an exit strategy from three marriages. It's excellent TV for expert reality-watchers who can sense when to skip through filler

big cummers ONLY posted:I'll give a high-level summary since I love this subject! That was a pretty interesting case for a lot of reasons. Dude had everybody doing dumb poo poo like freezing their credit cards after use, wiping mail, just a whole bunch of weird 2020 nonsense. Among many other things, it's an interesting document about how much bad information was going around, and how that contributed to people saying "gently caress it" very very quickly and opting for the opposite of caution
