I had a mild pneumonia and never fully recovered. I believe "long covid" has been (or shortly will be) considered a disabling condition. This should help open the door to disability claims and perhaps a set of standards to streamline evaluation of long covid.

@Catscankim - I'm sorry to hear about your job. Sounds extremely stressful. The little old lady reminds me of those warnings for people to avoid dangerous activities so as not to end up on the hospital. She was probably scared to death. A hospital ER must be a scary place right now. And...

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the show. Your granddaughter sounds cute. The only lyric I can remember (and often sing to myself) is any iteration of "I'm gonna take my shot!" Which I find an interesting lyric both for the time frame of the show and our current time when a...

We were asked for proof of vaccination when we went see Hamilton. But they did mention that a picture would work just fine so that may be the way. I just didn't want to risk it, I waited like a year to see hamilton!

Good on you for wearing a mask. I remember a few "super spreader" events that were outside prior to the vaccine. At this point it seems to be about taking calculated risks and mitigating as much risk as you can. I went to see HAMILTON yesterday (amazing!). It was a risk to go to any show...

Hopefully it'll mellow out. But I've had the same problem with every mint oil I've used from everywhere. To me my.nose catches a chemical undertone. Either way good on you for getting back in the saddle. But don't get back in the saddle because you don't want to risk a fall!

I retried a hearts design. It's hard to see. But it shockingly did not come out horrible!!! It's scented with cashmere suede from WSP. In my experience no acceleration. It's funny I believe I've had clothes made of cashmere and suede, nothing smelled like this!

My sister is a teacher and she does her work in a similar way! I imagine you're getting your work done as good, if not better, and that its in a way that works for you! It takes all types to make the world go around, and it seems like technology is increasingly allowing people to work in a...

I feel this statement in my soul! We only ever went into the office once a week, but once things got serious we stayed home and I'm so grateful. The elevator situation alone would be a disaster. Before the rise of Corona The administration had been trying to take away our right to...

More susceptible to contracting covid or to experiencing long term effects/hospitalization even when vaccinated? Is there a source for this information? Here is a list of potential HCQ side effects. https://www.drugs.com/sfx/hydroxychloroquine-side-effects.html#consumer

@AliOop - I don't take the concerns about methodology lightly but I think it's unreasonable to make the jump to malice. From what I can tell the concerns are threefold, and are centered around the idea that because not all of the studied cases were of the same severity the results cannot be...

Perhaps because the risk isn't worth the reward. Has the protocol at normal doses been well studied? The FDA considers a number of factors in approving a drug for a particular condition. And some of it is weighing the pros and cons. Malaria and arthritis and lupus may be worth the possible...

@AliOop - I'm aware of the publication date. Once a drug gains initial approval from the FDA for any condition it does not need to get further approval for "off label" use. So I don't think the fact that off label use is expressly prohibited by the FDA means anything one way or the other...

@AliOop - it appears that the emergency authorization may have been rescinded according to the FDA. The video you posted is only five days old so perhaps there is updated guidance or it wasn't actually filmed 5 days ago just uploaded 5 days ago...

@TheGecko experts aren't infallible or perfect but there is something to be gained from specialized education, knowledge and expertise in this and in nearly EVERY field. Yearly there are mistakes made in hospitals, but that doesn't mean that I wouldnt go to a hospital for care. Or that people...

And then there is the "long covid" which we are just That's sad. I never had that college excitement but when I see footage of kids taking their first foray into freedom every year it makes me happy for them. Heck I still get excited at the scene in revenge of the nerds when they were first...

But I don't think you're an expert and you don't assert that you are. Wouldn't you agree that being an expert in a particular field gives you greater knowledge and ability to understand your field of study or career? This is why we send people to school, this is why employers ask for prior...

@TheGecko - I'm tagging you because I can't seem to get your quote in here and my post. Thanks for the response, which made me to back to recheck the figures from the past week since so much of the information was off the top of my head. In the summer, the town's population swells to 60k -...

I'll never forget watching an interview with a doctor at an inner city hospital in a poor, undeserved area when the vaccine first came out and hospitals got doses. In what have been the most judicious way possible, he talked about how he had never seen so many Mercedes, BMW, Teslas, Aston...
