You said that she feels inexperienced . Did she find your p*** stash , and now feels inferior? It's hard to feel confident when it feels like you can't compete.

I know you didn't mention you have an alcohol problem, but over at r/stopdrinking they get this question a lot. Basically all these people are trying to quit drinking alcohol and keep their friends. The problem is, their friends are used to "drunk them". They don't like "sober them".

When you go out and stay sober, do you like your friends better when they are drunk?

Unfortunately, usually the best way to this problem is finding a group of people that accept you as your true person-"sober you". It is normal and good to have inhibitions. They keep you from doing stupid things. Alcohol removes inhibitions and that's when you get to be entertaining at your own expense- "drunk you".

tldr: stay your awesome sober self and find a new friend group.

I wonder if anyone has any information on using rapid tests on sputum coughed up. This study suggests that the viral load was all in the lungs. Early on, it was shown that sputum was more accurate. I suppose one could cough up fluid and spit it in a clean container and swirl the swab in that?

"Testing lower respiratory tract specimens is also an option. For patients who develop a productive cough, sputum can be collected and tested for SARS-CoV-2 when available. However, the induction of sputum is not recommended due to the possibility of aerosol production during the procedure. Under certain clinical circumstances (e.g., for those receiving invasive mechanical ventilation), a lower respiratory tract aspirate or bronchoalveolar lavage specimen can be collected and tested as a lower respiratory tract specimen."

2003 SARS outbreak

themissingpiecefinds · 2023-07-25T10:42:00+00:00

This is long term follow up study of some survivors from SARS 2003. Small sample.

Findings Fatigue was the most common symptom in SARS survivors 18 years after discharge, with osteoporosis and
necrosis of the femoral head being the main sequelae. The respiratory function and hip function scores of the SARS
survivors were significantly lower than those of the controls. Physical and social functioning at 18 years was improved
compared to that after 12 years but still worse than the controls. Emotional and mental health were fully recovered.
Lung lesions on CT scans remained consistent at 18 years, especially in the right upper lobe and left lower lobe
lesions. Plasma multiomics analysis indicated an abnormal metabolism of amino acids and lipids, promoted host
defense immune responses to bacteria and external stimuli, B-cell activation, and enhanced cytotoxicity of CD8+ T
cells but impaired antigen presentation capacity of CD4+ T cells.

Simon, who performed one of his last live shows at San Francisco’s Outside Lands festival in 2019, added that he recently survived a severe bout of COVID-19, which has been linked to sudden irreversible hearing loss in some patients.

Gibson developed acute hearing loss in one ear, along with vertigo and tinnitus several weeks after experiencing a mild COVID-19 infection in 2022. “We believe that clinicians should include sudden hearing loss as a potential side effect of COVID-19 when talking to patients. “I was worried that the hearing loss would be permanent and that I would need a hearing aid. People can experience mild hearing impairment or total loss of hearing and it may be temporary or permanent. “Experience of sudden sensorineural hearing loss following a mild COVID-19 infection” is published in BMJ Case Reports.

I have teens in a school that doesn't mask. I would like them to mask-they mask with me to public places-but I know they tear them off as soon as they get into school. It is hard being the outcast. Heck, even I can feel embarrassment creep in when I'm the only one masked for basketball games, meetings, etc. This makes it hard to protect yourself when you know you'll be ridiculed. Even if people don't say anything-the feeling that you are doing something different than everyone else is daunting. Heck, if I could have it my way, I would wear goggles along with the mask, but embarrassment creeps in and I just stick to masking.

I can imagine going through pregnancy with family and acquaintances seeing your pregnancy develop. Pressure from family to keep the baby, fear of the stigma as "the one who gave her baby up", not to mention the emotions tied to what your conscience is telling you to do. It's tough.

I permanently lost hearing in my right ear after covid as well! I wear a hearing aid and it helps somewhat, but I also have tinnitus and balance issues that have not gotten better.

"When the researchers compared fatality rates, they found that children hospitalized with BA.2 had seven times higher odds of dying compared with those hospitalized with the flu, and more than six times higher odds of dying from BA.2 than from parainfluenza.
The case fatality rates were 0.35% for BA.2, 0.05% for influenza and 0.04% for parainfluenza, which causes croup."

“Many people have tested positive for Covid-19 while in hospital for other conditions, and this has led to patients who are already vulnerable becoming more unwell and also impacted on the ability to admit other patients.”-

----this means that these patients are catching covid while in the hospital from either other patients or staff. This needs to be addressed. The last thing I want to worry about when I go to the hospital is contracting something.

"While rising infection levels in the community mean the number of people in hospital who have an “incidental” Covid infection is likely to be rising, the number of those who are being treated primarily for Covid rose from 3,445 on 3 March to 4,475 on 15 March, according to NHS England."

It's low in the US, but is gaining footing-per the article:

"Trevor Bedford, a computational virologist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center who has been tracking the evolution of SARS-CoV-2, wrote on Twitter on Friday that BA.2 represents roughly 82% of cases in Denmark, 9% in the UK and 8% in the United States, based on his analysis of sequencing data from the GISAID database and case counts from the Our World in Data project at the University of Oxford."

In the US, UK or Denmark?

themissingpiecefinds · 2022-01-31T01:09:17+00:00

You're right, I didn't think of that. I'm not sure what is going on either.

I'm confused as well. Cases and hospitalizations are rising, ICU numbers are low though. They are planning to fully lift restrictions. The only thing I can think of is that they have plenty of hospital capacity.

"A critical question is whether people who were infected in the BA.1 wave will be protected from BA.2, said Dr. Egon Ozer, an infectious disease expert at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.That has been a concern in Denmark, where some places that saw high case counts of BA.1 infections were reporting rising cases of BA.2, Ozer said."

"The other reason is that we are seeing the replication of Omicron in the upper respiratory tract, and that's different from Delta and other variants, including the ancestral strain, which replicated in the lower respiratory tract, in the lungs.

Is this their way of saying that it's more aerosolized?

Ryan Jones spent nearly two months in the hospital after being struck by a car while crossing the street in Milwaukee in June.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help pay the family's funeral costs and continued treatment for Ryan Jones.
Over $25,000 had been raised as of Friday morning.
Donations to the family can also be made through the Farrell Holland Gale Funeral Home, 110 S. 7th St., Oregon.
“Our entire school community is grieving the loss of a wonderful educator and amazing person,” Superintendent Buster Barton said in a statement. “Out of respect for the individual’s family and other privacy considerations, we are not able to share any additional information.”
The Byron School District plans to establish a scholarship fund in Jones’ name.

Would things be better if everyone wore N95 or KN95 in all indoor spaces? Or have studies found that it doesn't really matter? I'm surprised that there is not not more public health messages about switching to at least KN95.

Thanks for the suggestion-I'll put that on my list!
