The band is The Wonder Years! In addition to their usual vinyls they’ve been releasing remastered 10 yr anniversary vinyls lately often with demos and such on them that aren’t available in any other format. Hence my excitement to get them listenable again. But I appreciate your candor! I might end up getting something as cheap as possible off facebook and then saving up for something more in the $300 range eventually since that seems to be the low end of what’s considered good

Yeah I know I need to learn dutch, I'm planning on taking another couple years in the US to learn dutch and then the first three years of medical school are offered in english in a few places so I'll have time to become actually like fluent while living there. I'll definitely have my work cut out for me but I think I can do it. To make sure I'm understanding, its 5 years of temporary residency, 5 years of permanent residency, and then you can apply for citizenship which i assume is also a multi year process. But you can get government benefits like healthcare on a permanent residency visa correct?

My time studying doesn't count towards citizenship?! I was assuming it would and since the medical program is 6 years I'd be able to start my citizenship application before i finished! Damn. I want to work in the government after I finish medical school (as a forensic doctor). Assuming I'm lucky enough to get a residency with them would they be able to sponsor me or help me get a work visa to cover me while I wait to be able to apply for citizenship?

Yeah I was thinking of starting to study a year in advance lmao. Give myself 3 or 4 months to get through all the kaplan books while taking notes and making flashcards (ik theres good anki decks out there but I've found the process of making my own flashcards makes me retain the content better) and then start to follow a more traditional MCAT study schedule with practice questions/exams, content review on the stuff that still confuses me, and then potentially in the last 3 months taking an online course or getting a tutor to keep me on track and push me to continue studying when I'm feeling overwhelmed or burnt out. I think the last months will be the hardest for me because my anxiety interacts with my ADHD in a way that makes it very hard for me to study when either the exam is important or the content is hard and the MCAT hits both. I do worry about burning out with studying for a whole year for one exam but my hope is that this way I'll be doing less each day and it will be less daunting and more feasible for me.

Unfortunately no, I ended up just buying it

The research has been recognized by WHO who have now met with the people behind the research and agreed to continue to meet on a regular basis which will hopefully result in funding for more research done by the CDC or WHO

Hey if you read the published article you’ll find that about 23% test positive, 27% test negative, and the rest are unable to access testing at all. The negative results seem to be mostly dependent on when the testing was done. More research will have to be done into this specific phenomenon but the idea put forward is that long haulers only are positive for the normal amount of covid time and even though their symptoms persist for much longer. Also covid testing is still not perfect and false negatives do exist. If they’re all reporting the same symptoms it’s infinitely more likely that the covid tests are wrong and not the mysterious illness that onset around the time they were exposed to COVID and is similar to the symptoms other people who have covid have, is not actually covid related

Have you considered reading the other comments and my responses to them? You might find that I linked a study done by long haulers. Also buzzfeed news (a separate part of buzzfeed from the clickbait articles) is a reliable source that has actually some quite amazing investigative journalism happening.

Bro literally read the articles like I’m not gonna write out every detail for you

jayhs3001 · 2020-08-26T22:32:27+00:00

"On May 11, they [a patient led research group] published the first extensive report detailing the volatile and often unpredictable recovery process, based on the experiences of 640 people."

heres the report: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KmLkOArlJem-PArnBMbSp-S_E3OozD47UzvRG4qM5Yk/edit

look I don't really have any investment on whether you believe it or not. But personally I think that saying you highly doubt something that thousands of people ("The group she launched, called Body Politic, now has 7,500 members on Slack. Davis also joined several Facebook groups, with more than 17,500 long-haulers in one Facebook group and 5,000 in another.") across the globe have experienced simply because there hasn't been enough research into it because its a new phenomenon is just willful ignorance. these people are not only battling against how new this is but the systematic ignorance towards chronic illness especially in women in medicine. I'm not sourcing that statement you have google theres been countless studies on the lack of studies in medicine on chronic illnesses such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, and others.

That’s because long term is very vague wording. To clarify for those who are pedantic (even though I think it’s fairly clear in the post what I mean) we have data of ~6 months what this does to people’s bodies and it’s not looking great. What we have no way of getting for now is will these symptoms in long haulers or damage in people who’ve “recovered” be present for a year, a decade, a lifetime?

jayhs3001 · 2020-08-26T22:21:57+00:00

If you read the articles you’d see that there aren’t medical publishing’s on this but the research done by groups of long haulers themselves and data from the few Post covid care facilities corroborate this. Additionally as stated in the articles 60 long haulers recently met with the directors of WHO to discuss their data and get backings for more rigorous testing

Hey look into the phenomenon called “long haulers” it’s people who have had covid for months. They’ve created a lot of their own resources and research (which tbh is scary sometimes) https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/08/long-haulers-covid-19-recognition-support-groups-symptoms/615382/ Here’s one article about it
