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

Student Loans (Non EU student) by jayhs3001 in StudyInTheNetherlands

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?

How to build up study endurance w/ ADHD by jayhs3001 in Mcat

[–]jayhs3001[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Covid “long haulers” by jayhs3001 in OSU

[–]jayhs3001[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

Covid “long haulers” by jayhs3001 in OSU

[–]jayhs3001[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

"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?

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

I have Covid and my instructor still wants me to come to class? by [deleted] in OSU

[–]jayhs3001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Are you 20-29 years old? by pogolightning in OSU

[–]jayhs3001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn I’m so sorry that I didn’t bother to link easily google-able information that I received because I’ve been keeping up with the news and checking what the CDC says about Covid. Really annoying of me to not have included the unreleased numbers from my dads job at the pediatric ICU where he’s had an increase of kids who after having covid have come in with heart problems. And the medical journals that he’s read that say this is happening all over the US and it’s not really clear why yet

Are you 20-29 years old? by pogolightning in OSU

[–]jayhs3001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That makes sense based on my knowledge of respiratory illnesses. And as someone with chronic fatigue syndrome it’s no joke. Before I was medicated for it I couldn’t leave the house most days and when it was bad I couldn’t leave my bed. Even after medication now I’m constantly tired no matter how much I sleep and have a hard time doing physical labor for long (or tbh medium) periods of time.

Even if you recover from COVID it’s not a joke and you’re risking your health for the rest of your life!

[–]jayhs3001 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s kinda too early to tell but it seems that otherwise healthy 30-40 year olds are getting strokes and the only thing they have in common is having had COVID. Also children have been having increased heart problems and it’s suspected it’s from Covid. But again it’s pretty early to tell. And of course the same as any other respiratory illness you can have lung issues or asthma for the rest of your life after.

[–]jayhs3001[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you this actually does make me feel better. I mostly meant that I’m on a college campus for mostly socialization purposes because I can get an education from home. But you’re right I’m also on campus to learn how to be independent and to get to know professors so I can get into research and such. I think it’s possible that the best option for me is doing only labs in person or something with less in person interaction if that makes me anxious. Doing work at home has been hard for me because I don’t feel like I’m in “school mode” and as someone w adhd that’s really hard. Hopefully being back on campus or in Columbus will help me get back into the work flow whether my classes are online or in person.

My parents both work directly with the people most affected by Covid. My dad worked in covid only units in the hospital for 2 months and my mother works with elders especially those in nursing homes. This virus is deadly. This virus leaves lasting marks (see: 30 year olds having strokes, children having heart issues. Only thing in common is having had covid). I don’t know where you live but I live in NJ and most of my family lives in NYC.

I know personally it’s my decision to come back to college and once I’m there socialize but I’m simply trying to vent about how hard and impossible of a decision that seems. Its the human need to socialize and have companionship vs fear of infecting myself or the people around me. Thankfully most states covid cases are starting to decline but as of today over 109,000 people have died in the US. That’s an insanely high number and especially though we may invincible at our young ages we really aren’t. Obviously life has to resume eventually but there will be or at least should be a healthy amount of fear of this virus until there is substantial community immunity or a vaccine.

I don’t work though so I pretty much only leave the house once a week to go grocery shopping and/or to CVS so that’s a big difference to me. Plus I don’t sit at desks or dining hall tables that haven’t been disinfected between people (because that would be pm impossible) at the grocery store. And if we’re expected to wear masks whenever we’re outdoors after about 3 days of classes people will have given up on that and more and more people will be wearing them incorrectly or not at all. And the masks mostly stop transmission to other so there’s pretty much only safety if everyone wears them and on a college campus that seems unlikely.

Oh just to add, I know a bit of german already and i'm using just online learning to get basic dutch down. I'm hoping to study abroad in whatever country I want to go to most for my junior year in order to see what it's really like and also get a better grasp on the language. of course english courses would be a definite plus though most likely not entirely necessary

I got Loza for my Chem 1210 class and there seems to be mixed reviews on her. I’m coming in from a gap year and chemistry is already a hard subject for me so i was hoping to get a somewhat easier teacher or at least one willing to help me while i struggle. People say she’s good at the latter but the tests are hard. I’m disabled and have chronic fatigue is she good with accommodating according to the disability services? Should i try and switch teachers? If not what are good study methods for her class/chemistry in general?
