It is misleading the way it's phrased. Knowing people doesn't make them less risky, but using what you know about them (ie how covid cautious they are in their own behavior) does let you decide if someone is a lower risk. So the message should be "mask around *all* people except those you...

Some people who have had Long Covid had their symptoms eventually go away. Others experiencing Long Covid have symptoms that are continuing. And as the source disease only appeared 4.5 years ago, we don't yet have good statistics to suggest how many of those folks will eventually have their...

<modsnip - quoted post was removed> I'm fine with people choosing to accept risks to their own health or safety, but not when it puts others at risk, and *especially* when the public is not even aware they are being put at risk. If people don't want to mask, fine, but they should then stay...

@IceIce9 Personally I think the desire to retain as much competitive edge as possible by not telling his competitors, should have been outweighed by the conscientiousness needed to not risk passing it along to his nearby competitors and team members. If he had a sprained ankle and decided to...

Today my ex (not quite a covid denier but very close, bragged about never wearing a mask etc) stopped by my house and we had a brief chat sitting outside. He asked me if I remembered about a month ago when we had had lunch together at our local restaurant (usually quite empty). A friend had...

@gremlin444 , my heart smiley response to you is not because I'm happy for your experiences, I hope you know that. It's to thank you for sharing yourself so frankly. Edit: jinx, @Gemmie!

So even though there are those two distinct kinds of covid antibodies, you're saying there is no test (or at least not one easily obtainable) that can distinguish between them? Also, do antibodies last longer than immunity? I know immunity (from both infection and from vaccine) wanes after a...

I've definitely mentioned asymptomatic covid, but this is a community of largely deniers to varying extents. I also post a lot about covid on my fb page and we are fb friends but I am skeptical she reads things carefully. She has to travel by air several times each year for medical treatment...

Thanks @Gemmie and @OnlyS -- I have a friend who is having some of these issues, among others (some from pre-COVID but some more recent). She has had COVID at least once but doesn't take precautions so who knows how many times she has actually had it. I'll send her that article and hope she...

I feel a little apprehensive about this combo shot, because not only have I had side effects (normal, but still unpleasant -- fever and aches for a day or two) from the Moderna vax (as opposed to no reaction to Pfizer so have been opting for those when possible), but for the past two years I...

I was looking at the photo with her resting her chin on his shoulder. I don't see crows feet or age-related wrinkles. I also said I could be way off.

They look like teen parents to me. Of course I could be way off.

Agree about undermining, though of course he will claim it wasn't that at all. And while legal challenges are... ...legal, I cannot see how it's an official duty of the president. It's a legal option all candidates have if they think the election was compromised. Nothing to do with whether...

Did we ever hear about any downstream searches for the knife? I think we heard about some brief searches in the river at the place he was suspected to have tossed it -- was that in Lewiston? But were there attempts to search at the nearest downstream dam, for example? Or flights overhead with...

I'm thinking about the idea that the hip bag had no other DNA on it except for the perp's. Might this imply that the bag had not been carried on Tokyo public transit? Either this particular night or ever? What I'm asking is whether Tokyo public transit is generally sufficiently crowded that...

I personally do not think we can trust anyone's telling us when there is a case -- no matter how well meaning they are about their reporting. Because -- most people aren't even getting tested and insist they just have a cold! Not to mention the asymptomatic cases. Not to mention the high rate...

Maybe the implication is that there was speculation that her wanting to "hurry up" any anticipated inheritance from her father-in-law might have offered a motive for killing him. Maybe? MOO

I'm dealing with a headache right now so I can't concentrate well enough to really grok this article, but I skimmed it, and it seems to me disingenuous for them to say that the risk of long covid per infection is decreasing without also addressing the fact that the risk increases cumulatively...

Especially since lifespans continue to get longer (or did, pre-covid).

@Gemmie in my area they were offered by County Public Health Dept. I don't think doctors offices even offered the vaxxes in my area, nor hospitals unless you were an inpatient. I could be wrong, guess I never asked my doc since Public Health was my preferred choice anyway. By fall 2023 Public...
