athletes keep coming down with POTS since 2020. But it�s mostly female athletes so whew, dodged that bullet.

quote:

First described more than 150 years ago, the syndrome has proliferated since the coronavirus pandemic. Before 2020, 1 million to 3 million people suffered from POTS in the United States, researchers estimate. Precise numbers are difficult to come by because the condition encompasses a spectrum of symptoms, and many people have still never heard of it. Recent studies suggest 2 to 14 percent of people infected with the coronavirus may go on to develop POTS.

Currently masking, may soon have to stop :-'( (self.Masks4All)

Hi,

I'm having some issues with my lymphatic system and it has been suggested a trial of not using masks for a while might be needed so I can see if it helps with breathing/lymphatics.

I feel really torn and rubbish about it, what other mitigations can everyone suggest please?

I've looked so many things up, but don't know what to use.

And honestly, if I'm unmasked - where do I draw the line of places that I'll go? I started infrequently going out to gigs in masks, and really want to be less isolated, but the whole thing just scares the hell out of me.

Thanks all x

This sounds like bullshit, is this a specialist telling you this?

It was a nurse who said it who is very specialised in lymphatic issues. So many people have said though though 🤣 I reckon I need to ask another member of my team for information. X

even if you�re not concerned about getting infected through beef it might be a good time to stock up on some before the prices skyrocket

okay so bone-in skin-on chicken thighs were $1.49/lb yesterday at Costco and today they�re $1.79/lb. Might be normal fluctuations, but I don�t recall it ever going up in the past few years

State workers take stand against new California hybrid work policy

quote:

SACRAMENTO - California state workers are set to suit up and return to Sacramento offices at least two days per week starting June 17.

Gov. Gavin Newsom's office sent a letter to state employees this week, which said the policy is in response to the inconsistency in hybrid work approaches across agencies, but state workers want to keep working from home.

"State workers are saying no," said Irene Green, vice president for bargaining at the Service Employees International Union (SEIU 1000) that represents state workers. "They are willing and ready to fight this."

CBS13 spoke with multiple state workers who did not want to be identified but all shared this same stance.

"It has been a learning curve, but we've done really well up to this point," said one state worker who has worked for the California Environmental Protection Agency for the past five years.

She is one of the 240,000 who will need to stop working from home at least two days per week.

"Our scientists have already stated that this is going to have a negative impact on carbon emissions," the state worker said.

Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg applauded the governor's mandate and what it will mean for the city. He gave this statement to CBS13:

quote:
"I respect the desire of all our public sector workers to have the flexibility that enables a greater work life balance. At the same time, our city and downtown welcome you back to all the growing downtown has to offer; farmers markets, great events at Golden 1 Center and beyond, new restaurants and much more to come in the months and years ahead.

Our small businesses especially welcome you back as they have been hardest hit since the pandemic.

I applaud the governor for crafting a balanced and thoughtful approach."

California state workers want a better answer than business to bring them back to the office.

"We shouldn't be expected to go downtown and spend money just to bail out Mayor Steinberg," another state worker said.

Green believes the biggest impact will be on each state worker's budget. The union said state workers received a 9.26% pay decrease for two years during the pandemic.

Since 2020, each state worker got on average a 3% pay bump. They believe this does not keep up with inflation.

"I would argue if people don't have it in their budget to commute, how will they have it in their budget to buy coffee and lunch when they are in the office?" said Bill Hall, board chair of SEIU 1000.

CBS13 asked a different anonymous state worker who works for the Employment Development Department (EDD) what their message is to all the other jobs that have required employees to return to work.

"I feel like we've been doing it for so long in the telework position and environment that coming into the office I don't know if it's making a change or difference," the EDD worker said.

The EDD worker has been going into the office two days a week for a while now but knows many others have been fully remote. She said many state workers are starting to quit after they were hired, thinking they would be remote for good and not live in the area.

Another concern for state workers is parking problems. The only option for many state buildings is parking meters or parking structures which will be an added cost they have not had to deal with for the past four years.

"Technology has provided a way for us to advance. We are embracing that," Green said. "So let's not step away from it."

Green said each state department must send the union a notice and then meet with the union before the workers can return to the office.

According to Hall, the union has received a few notices but expects that the full return on June 17 may be delayed for some departments if the state cannot make this meeting deadline.

Broke: recalling thousands of state workers to the office

Woke: recalling one Gavin Newsom from office.

Once we get rid of all the data, they're going to get rid of the vaccines too. We're not getting an updated shots at all in the fall either.

it truly sucks poo poo. always knew it would end this way, but actually seeing it happen is something else.

i think they'll keep the vaccines, although annual uptake will be like 20%. but masking, testing and tracking will be entirely and permanently eliminated.

a lot of covid cautious folks will just finally totally give up if there's zero data coming out, and zero way to confirm or treat a suspected case anyway. honestly that'll probably be me and the wife pretty soon.

Having no data is just the same as it was in the past, you're supposed to always assume that there's Covid everywhere anyways.

Sadly this is me too. We're moving from Canada to Australia soon, and it's gonna be hard to keep doing what I'm doing to stay safe. We are moving to a way less busy place, so that'll help some. I'll never 100% cave in though, knowing what I do (mostly thanks to this thread). Cognitive Dissonance seems to be the difference from most of us to the ones that are "back to normal".

I think most people's memory span for "what is normal now" is way shorter than ours because they chose to not process (ignore in favor of getting their treats again) the trauma from the last few years.
