I don't think Ricks is open anymore... thought the owner was brought up on racketeering?

My bout 2 weeks ago was very mild, just nasal congestion and sneezing, no throat/cough issues. I popped Ag+ within 18hrs of getting a sniffle and stayed Ag+ for 9 days. Stayed away from work all week...

Really in poor taste and feel bad for the guy too but.....


Looks like the sign is working?

Do you even know what the word "long" means in the context of "long covid" Mr. Macaroon? Or maybe its no longer Mr. And "identify with" means mean that's your pronoun now.

You get the information on whether they had a confirmed infection, include vaccination status and run the numbers in the 4 possible categories.

Infected not vaxxed
Infected then vaxxed

The 3 dose vaccine works great at reducing hospitalization and death metrics, drugs are now effective at further curbing those numbers. Because those drugs exist, hcq would be needed to looked at in...

Yeah, maybe more effective than it was on earlier strains or cheap alternative to paxlovid? I don't think it's quite an either/or on usage of the pathways but maybe less reliance on, so alternatively...

A negative Ag after a positive /symptomatic infection is a good correlate to no longer transmissible. A negative without a pos or symptoms gives you a result for that time point only, and can miss...

155 +/- is Women's SL, 165 is Mens SL. There is nothing else. I'd go 165cm unless you are really tiny <140lbs and also think you'll actually run a SL course. Both have similar ~12M radius.

Donated. I lost all my stuff to a house fire once, but didn't have to deal with the extra hurt of losing dogs. Vibes C.

Based on your self assessment, get a cheater GS ski with a 17-19M radius. You won't find a 20+M in a sub 180 size anyway.

Charts are whack anyway, these newer 2022 viruses are <5min for sure.

N95's are rated pf10. They meet a 90% filtration standard based on filtration+fit. The filter itself often will be 99% efficient but fit rarely will approach that level of particle exclusion.

Yeah, that was acceptable.
