Gunna have to make multiple reminders a day on my phone cuz this fucking sucksssss. I have friends with Lyme’s disease and it’s like another form of long #covid#ontario#ottawa#onpoli#publichealth
Jean Fisch inspired me to calculate previous-year cumulative incidences and output the reciprocal number of years between infections, based on my calibration for the Zurich wastewater data.
It looks like this and broadly similar to what Jean gets for England:
#Covid#Lockdown days. Picking up his wife for a final check up from a quarantine center and maintaining social distance - Mizo style 😁 Checking if she's comfortable is the cute part. #Archives
“Post-recovery from COVID-19, the immune system undergoes reconstruction. However, the elevated interferon responsive genes in monocytes can still be found after 4 months since the infection, which implies that the immune system is not fully recovered after 4 months…”
5/snip "The supply system fragility described above obviously affects far more than just food supply. All other critical supplies & materials needed for civilization similarly depend on foreign production, marine shipping, ports, truck drivers, warehouses, etc. Similar to the grocery store experiment, try going to your local hardware / home-improvement store & look at some “Made In _” labels. Just a couple examples: I found plywood made in Brazil & 1x4 lumber from Sweden.
Every aspect of our globalized supply chain is hyperfragile. When shocks eventually exceed the system’s resiliency, for example if a climate-caused #famine creates gaps in those “essential workers” so taken for granted during #covid, citizens of industrialized countries will experience shortages of building materials, gasoline/diesel, car repair parts, etc. Those shortages will create feedbacks affecting other sectors. A hyperfragile system pushed beyond its limit will experience impacts far exceeding the magnitude of the shock."
Biden allowed Covid to turn into a mass disabling event:
"when President Joe Biden ended all pandemic emergency measures last year, the lights were turned off, the premises were vacated, and the last four-plus years were effectively chalked up to a bad dream."
A coworker is out with Covid. I worked with her last week while she was sneezing & had a runny nose. But I had my N95 on, & was also airing the house out so I did not get sick.
(Always air out your vacation rental for at least an hour, folks)
Unsure how common this is in other #ChronicIllness affecting cognition, but when you have #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis the writing errors you’re almost guaranteed to make are:
Double the same word
or
Exclude it altogether
Or do both!
So frustrating & the sicker you are the worse it gets. You simply can’t see mistakes! Other problems too ofc but I’ve found this is the most common error made by #PwME
It takes forever to draft posts so when those of us on the more severe end of #ME make one it’s really hard. I wish I could explain how tough it is & people understood how much we’re sharing of limited energy supply.
And sometimes you get too sick to read and write at all. Or look at a screen because of sensory overload.
Now it’s worse because of my recent 3rd #Covid infection which both worsens existing symptoms and gives you new ones!
