* Please Take Physical Distancing Seriously, Under Forty Folk! COVID Hospitalization rates are way the fuck up for your age group. A lower risk of dying does not save you from having to be on oxygen or if you are very unlucky a ventilator. It does not save you from permanent lung damage which you can get even if you are asymptomatic. Being sick enough to spend week in the hospital and picking up a brand new disability is not worth it.
Please, please, please wear your mask, keep your distance, and avoid closed public spaces unless you have to be there. We are right now at the worst point in the epidemic so far in the United States, and it is literally worse every day because Republicans basically.
Take it from someone who has permanent lung scarring from multiple lung infections. I used to be an athlete. I was a dancer and a distance runner. I used to practice martial arts every day. Now I sometimes get out of breath on a trip to my patio. This is not a great way to live. Hate a few months of lockdown? Try partial lockdown for the rest of your life because permanently screwed up lungs.
Seriously, I know this sucks that it's hitting you in the prime of life. Trust me I think a lot about the time you are losing to this, but think about how much more you lose if your lungs end up long term borked.
Stay safe out there.

* The last week or so was stressful for a bunch of reasons on top of my usual physical stuff being extra obnoxious. I'm tired basically. Monday I did do my socially distanced curbside pick up and got some links up, but see tired. Tuesday I was scarping along, even more tired, but we had a long internet outage and I gave up and just went to bed, rather than wait it out. I did get proper sleep today for the most part, but things have piled up dramatically. I'll do my best, but odds are you are looking at a partial instead of the usual amount of work.
Update: And then tumblr shit the bed and I spent a couple of hours trying to get it functional. My dashboard is still borked, but I can post links again.
If anyone knows how to roll back the dashboard to the yesterday version please tell me.

* "Coronavirus: asymptomatic people can still develop lung damage:" https://theconversation.com/coronavirus-asymptomatic-people-can-still-develop-lung-damage-141154
* Please Take Physical Distancing Seriously, Under Forty Folk! COVID Hospitalization rates are way the fuck up for your age group. A lower risk of dying does not save you from having to be on oxygen or if you are very unlucky a ventilator. It does not save you from permanent lung damage which you can get even if you are asymptomatic. Being sick enough to spend week in the hospital and picking up a brand new disability is not worth it.
Please, please, please wear your mask, keep your distance, and avoid closed public spaces unless you have to be there. We are right now at the worst point in the epidemic so far in the United States, and it is literally worse every day because Republicans basically.
Take it from someone who has permanent lung scarring from multiple lung infections. I used to be an athlete. I was a dancer and a distance runner. I used to practice martial arts every day. Now I sometimes get out of breath on a trip to my patio. This is not a great way to live. Hate a few months of lockdown? Try partial lockdown for the rest of your life because permanently screwed up lungs.
Seriously, I know this sucks that it's hitting you in the prime of life. Trust me I think a lot about the time you are losing to this, but think about how much more you lose if your lungs end up long term borked.
Stay safe out there.

* The last week or so was stressful for a bunch of reasons on top of my usual physical stuff being extra obnoxious. I'm tired basically. Monday I did do my socially distanced curbside pick up and got some links up, but see tired. Tuesday I was scarping along, even more tired, but we had a long internet outage and I gave up and just went to bed, rather than wait it out. I did get proper sleep today for the most part, but things have piled up dramatically. I'll do my best, but odds are you are looking at a partial instead of the usual amount of work.
Update: And then tumblr shit the bed and I spent a couple of hours trying to get it functional. My dashboard is still borked, but I can post links again.
If anyone knows how to roll back the dashboard to the yesterday version please tell me.
