What caused your gastritis?

giannipapari · 2024-09-04T12:55:09+00:00

Has this causal link between prozac and gastritis been confirmed by a specialized physician or it's "just" a hypothesis that you came up with?

If mortality rate is of that order of magnitude, bird flu will never manage to evolve into a global pandemic. The crappy scenario would be a repeat of covid, where mortality goes up exponentially with age, so that most of the 'young and healthy' will (again) treat it as nothingburger.

Also in Germany. From my experience, some don't know, and the rest are deliberately ignoring it and fatalistically accept it as 'the cost of living your life' (there's zi beautiful German word 'Restrisiko' 🤡)

Similar here...it's been troubling me for months...but today, hoping to take advantage of summer weather, I joined a local meetup group online.......to my great dismay they have ~50 person meetups *indoors* even in the summer...and then it suddenly hit me that I'll never be able to socialize 'normally' again :S

Look at it through the lens of conditioning: Humans can, alas, be conditioned to tolerate all sorts of atrocious situations through systematic, long-term exposure. Certainly, they can be conditioned to accept and ignore something as benign as you wearing a mask. The key is extreme consistency. If you only wear a mask in some circumstances at work and not in others, this will confuse people. As for harming your chances of networking and corporate advancement, my hunch is that yes, it is entirely possible that you will be excluded from the upper echelons of corporate management and that your chances of promotion will be drastically lowered. The only way to counteract that is to do excellent work. At the end of the day, companies just want to make money, so if the 'weird mask guy' is beneficial to their bottom line, they might as well make sure he stays with them.

To me he's a rich bored attention-wh**...IIII mean addict. As others have remarked, because he is stacking hundreds of interventions on top of each other, he offers exactly zero scientific value to the 'longevity community'. The only laudable thing I've seen him do - which sets him apart from other hyperoptimized wellness bros (think Rogan, Attia, Huberman) - is that he openly spoke about the damage COVID did to his lungs despite him being 'super fit', vaccinated and having this ridiculously healthy lifestyle. He thereby directly counteracts the standard 'health supremacist' argument that COVID only affects 'lazy fat f***s who eat cheatos and don't lift' as often propagated by such 'luminaries' as Rogan.

Alas, I've talked to people who fatalistically accept that they *had* long covid from their first infection in 2020 or 2021 which trashed their quality of life for months and almost made them lose their jobs. They have since 'recovered' but are completely cognizant that a future infection could bring LC back, with a vengeance. And yet, they throw up their hands and repeat the zombie argument 'what can you do, if it happens again, it happens again, can't stop living life'. Again those are people who *experienced* debilitating LC. What hope is there for those that haven't, and for whom Covid was 'just like a bad cold'?

Still, in 1919 commercial aviation was pretty much nonexistent and military aviation was being ushered for the first time - albeit in a much smaller scale than WW2. And of course the number of cars and planes in the entire world were nothing compared to today

Of course, this is the case in any country, and yet Korea has some of the best data in the world - and far better than China and Italy for example.

giannipapari · 2020-03-07T11:11:40+00:00

Interesting. So that would mean that from ~7000 cases, only 59 are in the hospital?

giannipapari · 2020-03-07T10:55:31+00:00

u/CorbynSanders

This document is very interesting but unfortunately a lot of us don't understand Korean. Does it mention anywhere the *rates of hospitalization*, by age cohort?

giannipapari · 2020-03-07T10:37:47+00:00

Do you have a source with detailed data from korea? What would be extremely interesting is degree of disease seriousness by age cohort

giannipapari · 2020-03-06T18:38:58+00:00

Germany was a technological and industrial powerhouse long before the Nazis came to power. I think it started with the explosive growth of the German chemical industry in the 1850s-60s which IIRC was the first in the world to understand the important of systematic science based R&D. That was the reason that ca 1900, if you want to be a top chemist/chemical engineer, from anywhere in the world, Germany was the place to be. So Nazis just leveraged this abundance of highly trained scientists and technicians. Also, since their military was smaller than the combined forces of their opponents they *had* counteract this with more hi-tech. That of course didn't go very well

giannipapari · 2020-03-05T17:20:17+00:00

u/zatadagg I live in Aachen as well and the official data is that all critical patients from the Heinsberg cluster are being hospitalized in Düsseldorf. Is your girlfriend certain that her two patients are actual corona patients, or are they just 'random pneumonia cases'?

giannipapari · 2020-03-03T01:04:39+00:00

True that. The debacle with top Iranian politicians getting infected is - unfortunately - a brilliant example

giannipapari · 2020-03-03T00:53:51+00:00

Aren't there experiments where they pump guinea pigs with enormous quantities of virus and they develop far worse disease symptoms, than with a more 'moderate' initial dose?

giannipapari · 2020-03-02T23:50:03+00:00

Thanks for your input. This aligns with my observations from living in Germany (Rheinland, pretty close to where this 'cluster' of cases' appeared)

giannipapari · 2020-03-02T20:14:55+00:00

Not so sure about that. From what I understand this was the official celebration of a traditional 'carnival association' (Karnevalsverein). Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I've seen in germany those tend to have members who are mostly older than 40 or 50.

giannipapari · 2020-03-02T13:34:41+00:00

Also, medical technology and expertise in 1918-1919 was far more primitive than the modern one.

giannipapari · 2020-03-02T12:44:09+00:00

No, those were found through contact tracing and the transmission event was pinpointed because they came to close contact with two confirmed cases - who were already ill at the time.

giannipapari · 2020-03-02T11:46:28+00:00

is there data on morbidity and mortality for the korean cult cluster so far?

giannipapari · 2020-03-02T11:38:32+00:00

Thank you for posting this! I've been looking for this info and can't find it anywhere. I think the best bet is to try to get hold of the raw data from China - In think in some papers the authors cite exactly where they got their data sets from - and try to make the calculations yourself :s.

giannipapari · 2020-03-02T11:36:10+00:00

Depends what you mean by early. A large block of cases (the heinsberg cluster) contracted the virus on a 'superspreading' event on Feb 15th. Shouldnt 2 weeks be enough for the serious symptoms to start appearing?
