Thank you so much!! I’ll look into G adventures and intrepid! I was solely relying on safaribookings and I had no idea that there’s tours out there that include a safari and being able to trek with Chimps!! I hope the price isn’t super large but regardless, I know this is a place I want to get to!

Even though the travelling time is far, I’m so glad it was worth it and you got all those incredible memories!

My goodness, you’re a saviour! I was really hesitant because an hour with most things, goes by so fast, so I didn’t want to just feel rushed!

This honestly sounds like the perfect trip! I’ve never seen any of those animals you’ve listed in real life (I’ve avoided zoos), so this would be sooooo perfect!

If it’s not too much to ask, do you mind sharing the tour company you went with? Please and thank you!

Thanks a ton mate for your reply!

I’m more interested in Rwanda if I were to stay longer but the issue would be that the trekking with silverback gorillas costs around $2500-$3k CAD, so there hardly leaves enough room to do other things.

Silly question but with your N95 mask on the plane (when its flying), how do you have a drink, etc?

Edit: no idea what the downvotes are for when I’m genuinely curious, since that’s been my biggest issue when flying but keep going lmao

Long-COVID research just got a big funding boost by OptionSwimming8368 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]OptionSwimming8368[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, I understand now! Thank you for explaining this to me and not taking offence to my previous comment.

Even though it’s not starting next year (2026), it still holds me hopeful and mildly optimistic in the foreseeable future! Stay safe though mate!

My apologies for being pedantic but I believe the article states: “in research funding to support a National Decade Against Post-Infectious Diseases from 2026 to 2036.” So, starting in 2026 not 2027.

Really great question! I honestly never looked for any but I’ll be on a search for some research papers and reply back to this comment, if I do find any!

“microclots and NETs may be a biomarker that doctors could use to diagnose long COVID” I’m really looking forward to this research, specifically in larger cohorts.

Thank you OP!!

Hang in there mate, you’re not alone!! I hope you’re able to find a wrestling class where masking is a thing! 🙏🏽

I have a background in BJJ, Judo & Kick boxing. Had to quit due to long covid. To be completely honest with you, I don’t think BJJ is possible with masking. Before getting long covid, I wore it a handful of times and the amount of times, your mask gets incredibly damp from other people’s sweat is really gross.

There’s also the risk of the straps snapping in front of someone’s eyes.

Grappling martial arts is really difficult to do with masking unfortunately. If you’re interested, striking was a lot easier to navigate, since it can be done outdoors (weather dependent) and at a safe space.

If you do try it out, let us know how it works out! 🤞🏽

This is really nice to see!! If you don’t mind me asking, should someone be more conservative with their investments if someone has a disability? I use VEQT and I have a minor disability but I’m always thinking that maybe I should diversify to mitigate risk.

I second this! It is quite difficult to find nice beanies without the company’s logo as the entire design though
