April 7, 20215 yr 1 in 3 Covid survivors suffer neurological or mental disorders, study finds https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/07/1-in-3-covid-survivors-suffer-neurological-or-mental-disorders-study.html Quote One in three Covid-19 survivors has suffered a neurological or psychiatric disorder within six months of infection with the virus, a study has found. The results were based on an observational study of more than 230,000 patient health records. The study was published in The Lancet Psychiatry journal on Tuesday. Well, piss.

April 7, 20215 yr So, I'm not normally one of those "man up, pu**y!" people, but in this case, seriously...man up, pu**ies! Quote Scientists are exploring one set of changes that should be popular with people who don't like needles. "We wanted to develop a platform technology where we could easily give a vaccine, and obviously the easiest format to give would be a tablet," says Sean Tucker, chief scientific officer at Vaxart. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/04/06/984486776/scientists-race-to-develop-next-generation-of-covid-vaccines?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=npr&utm_medium=social&utm_term=nprnews&fbclid=IwAR2KeWs7AcCA23J_FKkUtKl-p0vbgjev3F83FHAKw5YY0fjj9Ycp0NhUvKg So, like, it'd be great to have this option, but for it to be a focus of research at this stage just means to me that they are allocating time and resources toward aspects of vaccine development that are much less important than production and efficacy. TL;DR: if your only reason for refusing a vaccine is because you're afraid of a little pokey, well, you are a Darwinian failure.

Lots of ACE-2 receptors in the brain and CNS. And these variants are even more adept at binding to them (up to 5x better.) For those of us with kids, we can't let our guard down just because we, as parents, got vaccinated. Still gotta stay vigilant until we can get those jabs in the arms of our kids.

I waited for over a year for the damn thing, no chance I was gonna look away when the time finally came. Felt relief more than anything. Walked out of observation like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.

If for no other reason it's transformed most of my paranoia around maskless morons into resentment. It's nice to just focus on loathing these people instead of fearing them, lol.

Total fear mongering headline "For 13% of these people, it was their first recorded neurological or psychiatric diagnosis." So most of these people already had issues

April 7, 20215 yr 8 minutes ago, Toastrel said: Just because you had one before, does not preclude getting one again. Where, exactly, is the fear mongering? The biggest issues are anxiety and insomnia I believe, If I watch the news and read articles like this it would make sense that many people have those issues. If I drink soda and every day there is a new report saying soda causes anxiety I am more likely to have anxiety especially if I already suffer from mental health issues, it does not mean soda causes anxiety, sort of like if Trump keeps saying the election was stolen, more mentally weak people are likely to believe it even when it is not true. There is much more news about covid than the regular flu right now, therefore it makes sense more people will have anxiety over that
April 7, 20215 yr fwiw, I took the first dose of Pfizer earlier this week. I got the shot first thing in the AM. Felt great through midday. Later in the afternoon, my arm suddenly got sore and I had to lay down to nap. Also had a slight headache for a day or so. I'd much rather deal with that than COVID

Arm slightly more sore than in the morning but only barely noticeable if i lift my arm out to side.

We just can't slow down w/ vaccination and need to double-down on mask-wearing for now. Then we have the challenge of the developing world. This will still take some time to fully defeat, and if we think these variants are bad, the next round could be exponentially worse. The point is, we have the tools in our hands to beat this thing, but we must maintain our focus and aggression using them.
April 7, 20215 yr NY Mets just sent out requirements to attend a game. basically requiring PCR tests showing negative results within 6 hrs of game. Or a proof of vaccination. this is for ALL fans 2 years and older. and so it begins....
April 7, 20215 yr I think the PCR test can be within 72 hours of the game. The rapid test must be within the 6 hour window prior to the game.
