I've had a sore throat all day today and starting to feel a bit of general malaise, so I took a Covid test tonight and it came back negative. I suspect there's a good chance it's a cold or RSV.
I had cold/general malaise symptoms for 2 1/2 days before I tested positive, as one data point.Quote:

So ..... who actually rides with a full wallet????? Seems like riding with a loaded gun, safety off.
With no wolves lurking about, of course.
The wallet is one of those skinny ones with a magnetic bill clip, without any bills. The pants only have the one pocket. Won't be doing that again though.
For reading on the way to thanksgiving gatherings.

Need to spread tgat far and wide. Biden administration is handly pandemic poorly. Not as blatantly inhumane as tRump, but not well either. Basically we've arrived at Let's Do Sweden. And I love the Michael Burry quote.Quote:

One of the main DJs from that trip now has MS (not covid-related, but covid didn’t help) and struggles every day; they’re under 50 years old. Another of the main electronic musicmakers has the form of long covid where your skin has weird rashes and feels like its burning in various places at various times. The latter caught covid in early March 2020 from their job in Santa Clara County.
I am 26h in p4. What a heavy ride this time. Previous shots i had "bad" sideeffects. This one is like being kneedeep in. Muscle&joint pain... general tiredness, discomfort.... etc
I tried it sober.... no way.... there is only one solution imo
Light it up... i would prefer edibles for such a therapy
Or any of these;)Quote:

^ Totally what I had yep
I totally dismissed it being the flu since it didn't hit me like a freight train, but on the other hand I had my flu shot, so it's possible it could have been and it was just blunted because of that. Whatever it is it's been shitty. Still not feeling well and it started last Sunday night. I don't recall having an illness drag on like this for a long time.Quote:

We are seeing a lot of flu at my work, but most are 6yrs and younger (for now) or school teachers/day care employees. Typically flu is characterized by true febrile illness, unlike many other seasonal respiratory viruses which are low grade or no temp (<100). Flu is pretty easy to spot clinically.Quote:

Thankfully influenza R-0 is WAY lower than Omicron. It's about 1-2 vs Omicron which is estimated to by MUCH higher.
Yeah, it doesn't seem like the flu to me. I wasn't posting the heart rate graph with the idea that it was an indication of flu, just that it's crazy that it's gone up by 10 bpm over the week.
Expanding on this clinical view, and this is decidedly so for the clinical flu you see, but... while a lot of flu is sub-clinical, which you know, most are not aware of the data suggesting most flu cases may be asymptomatic.Quote:

From their followup work, crossprotective T cell mediated immunity seemed to drive lower symptomatic rates. This data is key because underestimating asymptomatic cases leads to overestimating severity and missing transmissions, as we saw with early COVID data as well.

From the same peeps, I always like empirical evidence for hand hygiene applied from past datasets to speculate on the now (washing hands prevents common human coronavirus infection, will be interesting to see if Virus Watch data shows this for COVID)

And empirical data for eye protection with COVID
