Raskolnikov2089 posted:I thought COVID was a vascular disease? Why bundle it with respiratory diseases? Or is the grouping based on manner of spread? There's no real definition I think. I personally started calling it a vascular disease in this thread in 2020 when it became clear that respiratory was the route of infection but not the whole story; I chose vascular because of all the heart attacks and strokes and DVTs and blood that just coagulated in the syringe during the first wave and all the doctors weren't too exhausted to be amazed. At this point I would call it a multisystem epigenetic disease with the way it up regulates and down regulates genetic expression and apparently fucks with DNA transcription. No one listens to me though, and further clarifying would scare people so we just don't bother updating it. We started saying that in this thread because there were a number of healthcare professionals insisting a respiratory disease couldn't do the stuff COVID did and that THEREFORE the heart attacks and DVTs and hosed up livers and new-onset diabetes stuff were not caused by the infection. (???) Long story short, people think it's primarily a respiratory disorder because it has "respiratory" in the name. Literally because we called it that and the name stuck. It drives me crazy. This is how social reality overwrites material reality and makes it impossible to talk about anything seriously, it's kind of the same as the aerosol/droplet telephone game where people spend all their time obsessing about the words that are used rather than what's actually happening. And that's how COVID became "just a cold".

I've been told everyone will get covid so why aren't vulnerable people issued pax before the infection? Surely not so the rich and connected can have the lion's share and pop it like candy when COVID gets in the way of "living their lives."

Glumwheels posted:That makes no sense then. She prescribed all my meds, so why are they having a problem now with paxlovid? The doctor signed off on it. I mean....for anyone wondering why the general advice was to get it beforehand, this is the whole reason right here. The thread advocated talking to your doctor and securing the antiviral bag before you get sick, because when you ARE sick they try to pull some access bullshit on you or climate change flooded the pharmacy or the doc gives you dewormer and homeopathic tinctures or straight up just says you are too young and fit for treatment when young and fit seems to have very little to do with the outcome. It's much harder to advocate for yourself when you are sick, and it's so time sensitive it's almost a guarantee you'll find out you need it outside of office hours or when your regular doc isn't around or if you don't have a doctor period.

Shiroc posted:SPR was at the vanguard of previous times. There is more weight of evidence at this point that being obsessive drama posters are more likely to do things horribly damaging to the forums than anyone else. Seems kinda problematic that the unofficial forum thought police are so self-absorbed and comfortable with themselves they had no idea they were being manipulated into witch hunts by yet another liar.

Breathetek outside/in summer Vented aura for yardwork Elastomeric for wood burning and woodwork V-flex if I don't care what I look like (planes, washing the dog at the self-serve) Kn95 in color with earsaver in class (not ideal, but it's friendlier? And I can coordinate.) Trying out these teal n95/surgical hard cups rn, needs a staple in the bottom to stay snug It really depends. I forget I'm wearing my v flex all the time
