    Yeah dying of covid is all the media wants to talk about from what I can tell. Long term damage tho seems to be the biggest danger.

        I can't remember where I read this but having had the 1917 flu was a major risk factor for developing alzheimer's, or maybe it was parkinson's. I wouldn't be surprised if there will be a similar situation with this virus

        I had asthma as a child, it sucks. I'm really lucky it got better and I have no symptoms now. I hope it gets better in time for you too

        I'm not sure how asthma changes in adults, but when I was a kid I would have to nebulize multiple times each day. Now I only take an inhaler once daily and it's completely under control, so hopefully it'll get better for you.

    this plus rising CO2 levels stunting our mental capacities is the 21st century equivalent of lead poisoning in Rome (the 20th century equivalent for boomers was just normal lead poisoning)

      I used to hate libs being like "Idiocracy is a documentary" but honestly some of the parallels between real life and now/the future are actually pretty disturbing.

      Air pollution >>> CO2 levels with any of this cognitive stuff. Also the 21st century equivalent is just lead poisoning but from drinking water instead of air pollution. Because your slumlord has 100 year old pipes in the building.

      If I'm a communist at only half that age one shudders to imagine the power of my ideology when I peak!

    Brains (cow and pig) have this weird smell and taste that always come to mind when looking at a picture like that. Some people really like it inside ravioli

    I currently have covid-19, thankfully the symptoms are mild, but hopefully, I don't have any long term disabilites.
