I think I mentioned exercise and New Year’s Resolutions.
Now I have a feed full of people posting pics of themselves at the gym with no mask on…
and all I see are hijacked mitochondria, and diminished aerobic reserve *compared to what it could have been*.

Neither. It's just life. Depends when you were alive. Both World Wars were a bad time to be alive. Cost of living has been higher relatively and rationing continued until 1955

Who wrote about jaffa cakes on BlueSky?
I read your post in passing weeks ago, and the suggestion is now firmly planted in my subconscious.
I now must find them… in Australia.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

My grandma buried two babies/toddlers to childhood illnesses and a son to the Korean war. My dad remembers how terrified people were of polio when he was a kid. And how grateful people were as vaccines became available over his lifetime.
I wonder if people are really ready to live life without vaccines?
Small coffins, small graves…
The need to have more children to take into account the death and disability rate…
What a terrible and sad step backwards…

Long COVID is best described as a cluster of overlapping symptoms rather than one single condition, according to a review of 64 studies from 20 countries covering 2.4 million people.
Fatigue was most common, often alongside muscle and joint pain, cognitive symptoms, or shortness of breath.

But remember, no state can regulate AI for 10 years, bc that would stifle corporate creativity or something.
These individual deaths will continue to accumulate, but it won’t be long before there’s some mass casualty event, like an AI designed building collapsing.

Disabled people are not expendable.
The elderly are not expendable.
Children are not expendable.
Worth should never be tied to economic productivity.
If we protected the most vulnerable in society, everyone would be better off.

Briefly unmasked, close range specialist appointment today for hubs. CO2 hovering around 1200 with no open window or filtration. Prior to appointment, requested dr wear an n95/P2 (and followed up to remind), but got a gappy blue mask.
Wish us luck as we wait to see if anything viral came home.

The phrase “no indication of increased severity” should not lull you into some kind of complacency
Influenza has always been a serious illness with significant risk of morbidity and mortality
And at this time of year the protection of winter vaccine dose has waned for those had it

Zircon crystals are nearly indestructible, and are some of the only things to survive the hellish pressure and heat of the Haldean Eon, when the earth was formed. The oldest zircons are found in Jack Hills, Australia, where our specimen was found. It may be small, but it's 4.4 billion years old!
