still being studied. get into a study if a new one opens up

otherwise, do everything to avoid severe disease, rest lots and lots, and hope you are in the vast majority of people who did not get long covid after an infection.

Saw a super promising one for taste/smell last year with like 80+% success

The conventional wisdom is to rest for a month or more after recovery. No strenuous exercise or activities.

I am genuinely sorry that we don't know more.

Oh I'm fine. Just prepping for the inevitable.

It is possible it can cause cancer and some mechanisms have been proposed, but likely we won't know until subtypes increase. There has also been research which correlates cancer and COVID, but imho that doesn't mean much beyond cancer patients often being immunocompromised and tend to have many points of contact with hospitals.

Example of the former:
Possible cancer-causing capacity of COVID-19: Is SARS-CoV-2 an oncogenic agent?

Couldve sworn i read a 30% increase in stomach cancers (but a small decrease in head and neck cancers) being associated with covid

Hey so my partner is starting a new job in a few weeks where they'll have to be in the office for stretches at a time, they'll be masking but I was also wondering if anyone had some recommendations for a small, portable desktop air purifier they can bring with them.

My SO and I still mask but are LDR right now. They've been slowly pushing away support systems and friends that dont mask, even though said friends are states away from them, mostly on the basis of not masking is a positive affirmation of trying to kill disabled people and people who arent able to get vaccinated.

I work in person and am N95'd up and only got sick once because I trusted family that just decided to not mask upon air travelling but I'm worried about their march to entire self-isolation. Any tips or advice?

Not sure if your issue is isolating from the specific support system or the general self-isolation.

The isolating from the specific support system I don't know how to solve, as it depends entirely on specifics and those specifics might make it something you (as the SO) should not try to solve. You know best, but tread carefully or run the risk of building resentment.

The general self-isolation is "easy" enough, in the sense that there are specific places for people whom categorically mask, like covid meetups.
How does one find covid meet ups? The website is only a little helpful and the discords are full of weird ableists and transphobic pricks. Also they get weirdly clique-y

My coworker's husband had a stroke last night and isn't going to make it. They're both early 50's and were sick a few weeks ago with "not-COVID". She literally brought her 5yo old grandkid on a Teams call and let him cough into her mouth, then said "they have strep, not COVID!". :dogstare:

Of the 9 remaining managers I work with, 4 are out sick. One in particular has been out a week and IM'd that he's heading to the ER because he feels so awful. Dude is late 30's and in excellent shape, FWIW.

N95s have never been cheaper
