Thank-you!!! I’m one of the compromised people and partly due to all the fuckwads at first that didn’t get boosters and fucked our hospitals. Been waiting for two years to get an operation that will hopefully get me off of 4 different meds. I feel great when I walk through the grocery and wear my mask. To me it’s become a symbol of caring!

Serious question, where do you live that elective surgeries have been restricted for two years? It’s a shame your quality of life had to be put on hold that long especially if you’ve been dealing with pain

At the beginning of the first big uptick in cases, where I live restricted elective procedures for around 4 months starting March or April 2020. I had a scheduled back surgery that was delayed in that exact time frame because of covid restrictions. Was getting epidurals every month just to make it to surgery. Really bad timing

After that first lockdown though those elective surgeries and other places of business have been open with certain limitations.

Eastern Ontario and yes long wait but given it’s being controlled by meds quality of life was not effected much. Have to stay out of direct sun or I turn purple lol. But the wait times are pretty fucked up. Now it’s staff shortages due to people being off sick.

Why do you say it's not necessary for you? Not that I care if you do or don't. But don't try to justify it by talking bullshit. Did you know that 20% of unvaccinated people who get even a mild infection develop long Covid symptoms, including blood clots and stroke, within 6 months of the infection? That rate is reduced by about half in people who are vaccinated.

What? do you think "healthy" people don't get infected or are at risk of becoming seriously ill? They do.

You really need to back that up with a valid source.

Tune time

These songs are dedicated to all the old fuckers that have survived this long (turn it up/burn one & close your eyes & remember being 17 again :) )

Yup, these were the bands I was listening to in 1972

Yea, 1972

It sucked , didn't it

But the drugs were righteous at least :)

Only time I was reminded of corona over the past few weeks was during a quick visit to Germany where most people were still wearing masks. Lockdowns seem at least a year ago, there’s no “new normal”, everything in NL is back to the way it was as if the pandemic never happened. Except for everyone being 5% more crazy, as if the pandemic doubled the effect of bad parenting. And our personal space radius has maybe expanded slightly. Not quite 6 feet but people waiting in line seem to keep some distance still.

Still ~1500 confirmed infections per day, less than 10 icu admissions per day. Currently only 80 total on ICU, compared to 800 around same time last year and 1200 in april 2020. This time last year a curfew was introduced to stop rising numbers but at the rate it’s been declining over the past month we should be down to just a very small number, and have days with zero icu admissions and zero deaths again, within a few weeks.

Was grocery shopping at 3 pm today. I would say 90% of the people wore masks. I am guessing as the evening progressed there would be less wearing them as the demographic became younger.

Study shows only 1 out of 4 hospitalized covid patients feel fully recovered after 1 year.

Clinical characteristics with inflammation profiling of long COVID and association with 1-year recovery following hospitalisation in the UK: a prospective observational study

The sequelae of a hospital admission with COVID-19 were substantial 1 year after discharge across a range of health domains, with the minority in our cohort feeling fully recovered. Patient-perceived health-related quality of life was reduced at 1 year compared with before hospital admission...
