Just found out that a previous owner in our building, who abruptly sold their place and moved out last year, did so because the wife got Covid resulting in permanent lung damage. The doc told her she wouldn’t survive a Chicago winter, so they picked up and went south somewhere. Yikes.

Seeing an interesting shift in discussions about COVID towards it's effects being more like a vascular disease than "severe acute respiratory syndrome". While probably true based on emerging evidence, this is gonna ramp-up vax conspiracy theories.

Australia: Fourth vaccine dose unlikely to be approved for under-30s due to myocarditis risk

“A 30-year-old who gets Covid is probably not going to get into any trouble with it as opposed to a 60 or 70-year-old,” Prof Cheng said. “If it has been a long time since [an older person] got their last dose then we start to worry.

“A 30-year-old with … three doses will be optimally protected.”

He added, “Vaccinations are beneficial and protective even for younger people but the more doses you get, the less benefit you derive from them and then we start to worry about causing side effects.”

I'm not too surprised. My dad has certainly been an exception to the norm with his recovery, but the cold still really bothers his lungs. He used to work construction out in the elements and now he can hardly stand being outside in it for longer than 5-10 minutes.

Calm down, no one’s making boosters a requirement for employment.

My kids’ first basketball practice is tomorrow. They’re going to let the kids play without masks but they want us coaches to be masked. Lol :finger:

Isn’t part of the reason this is an issue is because of all the masking?

You mean flu, RSV, and COVID are spreading because of people wearing masks?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

No dummy, we lost two years of immunity from actively fighting respiratory viruses.

Hey, your post was vague. I couldn't sus it out, thank you very much.

But, it could also be because flu vaccination has been down for 2 years.

I know what you meant, Bi_3. But that’s probably because I approach discourse with an open mind, free of any ideology/agenda pretext.

Perhaps a very small part. Stupid parents take the majority win here. Anti-vaxxers played a role too.

For those keeping score at home, I emailed all the other coaches about not wearing masks tonight. None of us did, and the league director didn’t make a peep about it. Strength in numbers. We win.
