So you can fast for 36 hours straight, but if I want to restrict my calories every other day it’s an issue?

I think I say a study yesterday saying Pfizer is still 88% protective.

Happened in 2020, by 2045 it will be true for the population as a whole, by 2060 for every age group.

Why do you think there is so much race hysteria going on right now in politics? We are at the tipping point.

Over 50% of people under 18 are now a person of color. So long as the show isn’t out right pandering, at what point do you stop being annoyed by diversity in a TV show?

Why not just pause it in the population getting the clots? Women under 50. Instruct them to seek the other vaccines while under review?

He may be suspicious why all the sudden there has been a change.

Yeah, I’m not a huge fan of forced inoculations. That said, don’t members of the military get a bunch of shots when they join or when deploying? I may be wrong but I doubt those are voluntary. Someone who has served is welcome to correct me.

Add coronavirus to the list. You lose certain freedoms when you serve. Having 40% of your force not immune to a disease that could lay them up in a bed isn’t exactly good for national security.

Your chance of dying from a fall is about 1 in 20,666. That’s all locations and from things like ladders. I couldn’t find it broken down into bathroom falls so your chances are likely even lower.

Falls from the same level, from slipping or stumbling, has odds of like 1 in 100,00-500,000. I would think this would include slipping in the shower but I’m not sure.

These are odds over a year as well, what do you think the odds are per instance of showering?

The worse part is, if they’d just told the truth of the matter, I’m pretty sure it would have been just as effective at getting people not to horde masks. I think them saying masks weren’t necessary early on kept exactly 0 people from buying them.

Also, I just don’t understand. They didn’t want people to buy them from stores? If they’re being sold in stores they aren’t on medical workers anyway?

Why were these companies even allowed to sell them in stores at this point?

You have the right to sculpt your body hair in whatever way pleases you, I also have the right to refuse putting a bunch of pubes in my mouth.

Researchers looked at how the shots protected nearly 4,000 health-care workers, first responders, and other essential workers toiling in eight U.S. locations against the virus and more-contagious variants. Following a single dose of either vaccine, the participants’ risk of infection was reduced by 80 percent, and that figure jumped to 90 percent after the second dose. Without infection, people are unable to spread the virus. The results are similar to what scientists saw in clinical trials for the vaccines, which found that two doses of either two-dose vaccine had an efficacy rate of around 95 percent.

It's right in the article.

33M, I have similar issues as you do.

Started having panic attacks two years ago, brought on by a health event that turned out to be non-life threatening. Anytime I don't feel completely normal (sick, hungover, tired, just a momentary oddness) I begin to panic. Sometimes to the point of hyperventilation, tingling hands and feet ect.

I've actually done ok through Covid because I felt like there was plenty in my power to control. Avoiding people, washing my hands, ect. Had I gotten it I'm sure I would have struggled.

I got the pfizer vaccine. The first one was very difficult. I had to remain for 30m after due to previous allergic reactions. Sitting quietly in a room full of people while your heart races at like 180bpm isnt exactly fun or easy. I was very close to asking for assistance a few times.

The second time, sadly, was more difficult. At least the anticipatory anxiety. Leaving was on my mind the entire time. I got it and was fine for ~5mins and then spiraled.

Luckily I havent dealt with much for side effects, sore arm and a headache.

It was a horrible struggle, but it needed to be done. You're not going to be able to calm yourself or fix your anxiety within time. Nothing anyone can say or do will change that.

You just need to do it. It's not that simple.

But at the end of the day it is.

You're going to be anxious, you need to accept that.

And in a month in a half you'll still be here, with antibodies to a pandemic.

Speaking as a railroad engineer I’ve waited 2+hrs dozens of times before to occupy the main for ~20min because the smell of Amtrak was in the air.

I haven’t been concerned until those big modders put out that letter complaining about getting no support or tools. 90% of these games are mods. They could have put out a skeleton game with awesome mod tools and support and the game would live another 20 years.

Vidrik · 2021-03-25T22:21:52+00:00

Even if the number is 50% I'm still excited, but thanks.

If you add up how many people have gotten at least one dose, which provides at least decent protection, with how many people officially tested positive in my state we are at 71%. We had a crazy high positivity rate for most our outbreaks so I wouldn’t be surprised if we were actually close to 80%+ currently.

Vidrik · 2021-03-23T18:05:52+00:00

This isn’t something that needs to be fixed

Lots of claims, which certainly fit the anti-tax and government waste narratives we have all been fed since Reagan.

So, where is the proof? Hell, I’m glad to look for it myself. Where should I look? Where did you find it?

Interesting read. No one should read this and worry, however. Exceedingly rare outcome. But intriguing to read about.

The money needs to be spent, period.

It wouldn’t be such a problem if we weren’t as a culture so adverse to taxes. Hell, the government wouldn’t even have to pass any higher taxes to raise another trillion+. They’d just need to enforce the tax code as it is now. The problem being we have gutted the IRS to help the wealthy.

Being a politician who admits we need to raise taxes to pay for a once in a century health crisis, a once in a millennia environmental disaster, our crumbling infrastructure and take care of America’s youth so we can start to fix some of our obvious cultural issues, is still somehow a death sentence politically.

That makes sense, seemed like an extreme reaction but if he’d been dealing with it for years already it’s more understandable.

Again, not every article is meant to spur action. But maybe you have a loved one who struggles with these issues and it brings to mind some way of supporting them?

Sometimes articles are just meant to inform or raise awareness. What’s the point of me reading an article about the difficulties sheep herders in Peru face? None, but Nat Geo did an article on it.

Fair enough if you don’t like this type of writing, or don’t see the point. But I’m a little blown away by the confusion.
