The hospital part might be the worst. They are straight up just not giving a gently caress about spreading COVID to patients so anyone that is remotely high risk or even who just wants to avoid COVID in general has to decide if a given procedure or screening is worth the risk. They do this poo poo and then have the audacity to complain about people deferring care or not getting stuff taken care of. It's because of their own policies!
Yeah, especially in places like cancer wards, where people were reporting low levels of masking among the staff. Folks getting chemo are among the most vulnerable people in the entire population!

I took some benedryl not long ago for allergies and it kicked my heart rate up to around 105 and scared the poo poo out of me, I couldn't imagine being that way all the time. I got a lot of bike riding to do this year

Around 100-110bpm without the meds and up to 136(that I've recorded anyway) after taking them. Seems bad! It's like I do all that yoga and meditating for nothin'. It used to be lower, though I had the luxury of not needing to pay attention to it.

I hope so! Thanks for sharing, I'm glad to know you experienced some improvement with your symptoms and here's to them not returning. Maybe I just need to give it time. Probably a good idea to keep my doc posted at any rate.

Wow! Yeah that's too high lol. Sorry you have to deal w this, hopefully w time you can return to normal levels. I meditate daily for mental health but I've found heart rate variability training to have the biggest effect on my heart rate & blood pressure. It's really simple: you breath in a sustained, controlled, relaxed manner about 5x/minute. It's researched and supported by evidence too. Here's a video you can try if you have 11 minutes to spare .. Let me know if you would like to know more :)

Real horror isn't recognizing how bad things are, and how much worse they are likely to become in the near future.

Real horror is realizing that compared to historical norms, conditions even in these pessimistic expectations are still so, so much better than how the overwhelming majority of premodern humankind lived (and died).

What was accepted as perfectly normal in the past is worse than almost anyone today can really comprehend.

in this example, this person is displaying two white power symbols, but you may find if you do enough research that these cancel out, allowing him to show his stance against white power, while also indicating he made a 6-pointer

The Great Mortality by John Kelly is a really good read that details extensively just how much it sucked to be alive during the black death.

It's weirdly comforting to know people reacted in similar ways then as they are now. Not that it improves the present situation, but I like working with something I can sort of understand.

What I don't understand is the thought of "things were worse once so it's pointless to make them better than they are now" (not implying that's your take here Kylaer, just a sentiment I hear and see often)

Nah. Back then, they didn't know any better.

The real horror is that we *do* know better and we are actively making things worse for us all
