Is everyone just...fine with the idea that the megacorporation that owns most of the local news stations older people get their info from is totally cool airing horrible conspiracy theories that might legitimately endanger the life of a man who's done nothing but try to help?

re: COVID-19 in young(er) adults 

@Verdigris Gonna look into it here.

My wife and I are discussing existential absurdity in the year 2020 and the only conclusion we have come to with any certainty is that Nikki Minaj has some nice tits.

re: COVID-19 in young(er) adults 

@Verdigris I had an illness back in late January that Destroyed me for 3 weeks and left me with lingering, awful health and neurological problems.

I had Heard about COVID back then but nobody believed me that I got it.

And yeah. It leaves you feeling for Months like you're just Wrecked.

COVID-19 in young(er) adults 

Why should healthy people not in extra danger due to age continue using masks and distancing protocols? How about because COVID-19 has a prolonged recovery period.

The CDC now has a short write-up available about a study that followed up on nonhospitalized working-age adults who had tested positive for COVID-19 in the prior 2-3 weeks. Of the 18-34 age group, 24% reported feeling that they hadn't returned to their previous state of health by the time they were surveyed; for the 35-49 age group, that figure was 33%.

Of the majority who did feel they'd regained their health, a third still reported one or more lingering symptoms. Those were most commonly coughing, fatigue, and shortness of breath. (I don't know about you, but I'd consider the latter two significant reductions in my quality of life.)

For context, otherwise healthy people who test positive for influenza virtually always feel like their old selves--with complete resolution of symptoms--within two weeks of testing.

The actor who played Garak in DS9 was Andrew Robinson. When he got the acting role, he wrote 200 pages of Garak's backstory. His use of this as a guide for his acting is probably a big reason why Garak's character has so much depth.

Most of that backstory was officially canonised by the head Trek writers. Robinson used it to write a novel, A Stitch in Time, in which Garak writes an autobiographical letter to Julian Bashir.

It's not a contest. Someone else being in pain does not mean that you are not allowed to be in pain.

Goes the other way, too: even if stuff is minor, you are allowed to be happy.

There, you have permission, go out and use it wisely.
