I'd like to see a better definition of what "long COVID" is. The minimum definition I see most often is symptoms lasting longer than 3 weeks. I've never had a cold where all symptoms were gone at the 3 week mark.

We have been made to associate the term "long COVID" with debilitating illness lasting many months, talk of people joining online support groups, etc. I'd like a better breakdown of what is common.

Edit: Downvotes why? It isn't reasonable to want to know how many people are having "any symptom at all past 3 weeks" and how many are suffering from debilitating syndromes?
The effects of the test, sure, because that's just a blood draw. The downstream impact to disease and transmission risk, definitely not.
What are we going to do now, ban smokers from the health system because they take up more cancer beds? Ban obese people because they didn't stop eating? Ban people who don't exercise because it's easy to do, and provably lowers chance of disease? Don't respond to car accidents due to speeding since it was preventable?

As soon as you start excluding people from the health system because of lifestyle choices, you are deciding who should live and die.
Right now in my area 1 in 4 new cases are in fully vaccinated people. Why is Gibraltar experiencing a surge in cases with 99% of its population fully vaccinated? Its a leaky vaccine and this has huge implications for producing variants that are more deadly. See the article I posted on Marek's vaccine in chickens.
I think they mean having more than you can store simultaneously on a single device.

With a few exceptions this is pretty common scenario.
Can you synthesize your thoughts on this? I won't dismiss ideas just because of where they come from, but can't wade through a 2 hour podcast to guess at what you might have meant.

For my own part, I have been quite shocked by the leadership vacuum during the pandemic. It's increasingly clear to me that no one is really at the wheel in the larger part of the West, but many are pretending to be steering the ship. I don't assign anything uber-nefarious to it beyond basic human greed, fear, power lust, incompetence and bullshit. A Chinese style government forced on US, would be, to quote Stalin, a "saddle on a cow." There may be some other countries that would cotton on to it quite readily though if the western coalition were to continue to weaken.
Thanks! Based on the nature.com link, it looks like there needs to be more time and work done to make concrete claims (as I suspected with something as complicated as "long covid").

I would also be interested in seeing comparisons to "long <other infectious diseases>".
It's funny, those who wish to minimize the impact of COVID, of which there are many on HN for some strange reason, never seem to explain what's up with the excess deaths.
You are making all those strange excuses to force people to get vaccinated. Some people don’t want to for whatever reasons, if they want to get positive test results, that’s their choice. Stop using twisted logic and marginal cases to make up arguments to satisfy your authoritarian desire.
Don’t then! Just read the cliff notes after.

Well the benchmark used in Portugal was mostly available beds in ICUs, hospitalizations were also reported but deaths and ICU cases were the main ones.

The reason was simple, it's literally "intensive care" that take a lot of resources from the hospitals, and it puts a strain on staff, which is specialized staff (IC nurses, docs, etc), that know procedures and how to operate the medical equipment.

Like one person in intensive care needs to be handled by a lot of people, for 24 hours.

The overall covid hospitalizations just indicate how bad things will become, because a lot of those will fall into ICUs, and some will die.

Because you need to remember, the world misfortunes didn't stop and ICUs suddenly became exclusive for Covid19 patients... strokes, accidents, heart attacks, etc, are prevalent just like in any other year.

So covid hospitalization numbers are only misleading if they choose to mislead people with them... at least here it was quite obvious the cycles of 5-10 days:case spikes > hospitalizations increase > ICU increase > deaths increase.

So this begs the question:

Are there some politicians who are exempt from moderation protocols but not others? If so, what's the party split and what are the criteria for deciding if politician A is a VIP but politician B is not?
> Epik is owned by Rob Monster, who is a open and proud Neo Nazi and antisemite. You chose to do business with him despite of who he was and what he enables

When I first heard of Epik, it was due to the kinds of sites/domains he handled that were being kicked off other services for egregious reasons (including and not limited to: hosting white supremacist shooter manifestos, doxxing for murder). That in of itself told me to stay far, far away from Epik.

Advocating for free speech doesn't mean moral abandonment, either. There's a reason things like fighting words, threats of harm aren't considered protected speech... and there's (sadly) quite a few on here who still have yet to learn that part of the lesson when it comes to speech online.

Epik's business model is to specifically cater to Neo Nazis.

This was my immediate thought as well. Not sure what level we're talking here, so sorry if I'm addressing the wrong part of the stack, but JACK on Linux has been a great experience for me in terms of latency and ease of use. I run into way more day-to-day problems on Windows.

"A growing body of evidence indicates that people fully vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) are less likely than unvaccinated persons to acquire SARS-CoV-2 or to transmit it to others."

> Still I don't understand the current approach to COVID in the US. Vaccines are safe and available yet we only just approved the use in children under 12. I have heard second hand many doctors are downplaying the importance of the vaccine for people under 18.

> IMO it would make a lot more sense to just keep vaccines available for everyone older than 2 including boosters every 6 months (just in case)

That's a terrible idea. Children are not small adults, and you can't use the same medicine for children as for adults. There are Pediatricians who work specifically with children. Giving drugs to children is unlike the scenario where a heavy car takes twice the gasoline a ligher care takes.

"Therefore, the risk of cardiac adverse events following the second dose of the mRNA vaccine could be around 3.7 times more likely than hospitalization due to COVID-19 in healthy 12-15-year-old boys during periods when the pandemic is better under control 2.1 times in 16-17-year-olds. The group found that this trend remains even when SARS-CoV-2 transmission rates are high, with vaccination being riskier than hospitalization from COVID-19. The long-term health effect of the mRNA vaccines on teenage boys is unknown. Few clinical trials have been conducted due to the early observation of adverse events." [1]

The people who would be confused by two pathways are already confused. It would not increase confusion. You have a vaccination card or you have a positive test card.

Right now there are already at least two pathways. You have a vaccination card or a negative test card within an allowable date range.

The bigger issues are privacy, etc. Not, "Oh no, there are two options! I'm so confused."
Doesn't seem to be the case. They are using Nix too(the package manager), but I couldn't see other similarities.

I think they are completely different from NixOS. For starters, they want to run every app inside crosvm.
Who says we won’t care for these people? This says their choice not to get vaccinated is costing billions.

Re: Cigarettes and seatbelts are bad analogies. Society (via the government) has made moves to reduce smoking and encourage seat belt wearing. Looks like the same is now happening for vaccinations with Biden’s new mandates.

Finally, the US healthcare system already decides who should live or die… either intentionally or structurally.

That's one philosophy of governance. I believe it to be fundamentally incorrect. But that's your philosophy and your view on this topic stems from that. I get your point, I just disagree wholeheartedly.

I have a right to be selfish. I owe no obligation to anyone else that I have not voluntarily entered into. If you want to redefine "putting other people in harms way" to include breathing the air around me without getting a medical procedure you can, but it is wrong IMO.

I haven't encountered too many Lancers lately, although I guess it could just be a campaign design issue. I've mostly been playing the World Conquest map lately, maybe they just avoid them because of this. It is a difficult campaign -- I haven't managed to beat it yet -- but I dunno. I enjoy rogue-likes and rolling with the punches, so if a run gets impacted by RNG it doesn't really bug me too much.
This is a blatant misrepresentation.

A Dead Battery Dilemma
Just because someone does not censor other does not make them a neo-nazi or white supremacist. This is an ideological difference.
I own several domains with Epik. I bought them through Epik for no other reason than my friend having an affiliate link. I don't host political content. I don't even know anything about them as a company. I am actually very angry as I type this. I don't care who else they let purchase domains from them, I didn't deserve this. I hope whoever did this is caught and jailed.
Well, yes, $42 * 10M is expensive. Not that $15210M is not. And i'm pretty sure half the people who said "i got covid" last year did not have it (and i'm kind). So let's say we had tested half the population, and that half of this half have to get vaccinated anyway, since the test was negative. For France, that's one billion euros used for nothing.

I'm to tired to make sense, but you understand my point (if not, i'll have to explain the reasoning better).

Anyway, it's pragmatism and not wasting money.

As the other commenter implied, in a fractional reserve banking system (where banks lend any amount > 0, and are not just acting as vaults), banks do indeed create money [0].

Printed dollars are necessary in an amount proportional to economic activity, and the sum of printed dollars is only loosely related to the total money supply as it affects the macroeconomy (and is becoming less relevant every year).

> ... blaming persons with acquired (Gold standard) immunity from prior infection of Covid, those with medical conditions preventing them from safely taking the shot, and the young and healthy who simply may not have any benefit from taking it, for overwhelming medical systems ... by ignoring the actual immunity status of a person, they are undermining the entire medical system? The crisis they are creating goes against every basic principle of Immunology. Essential frontline medical workers last year are highly likely to have already been exposed to Covid at one point, so why does no one simply ask for their immune status, instead of “ Vaccine - or no job”? The vaccine does not stop transmission of the virus, as we know. Why are we instead firing all the workers who may not even have any need for the Jab at all, and aren’t willing to jeopardize their own health by taking it?
It's truly pretty amazing how much mileage a kid could get learning to shoot and edit video with just an iPad or iPhone. Sure, the editing will be really awkward and the full range of effects and such that one would have in Adobe on the desktop won't be there, but hell, when we screwed around shooting videos as kids we had a big-ass camcorder that shot terrible video in 4:3 and in-camera editing/fx and that was it. Maybe some really, really painful editing that would make quality way worse and take forever, if you could get ahold of two tape decks your parents didn't mind you screwing around with.

You can achieve more focused practice on shot choices, lighting, and cut timing on you parents' old, handed-down iPhone in a weekend than we'd have managed in a whole Summer with what we had. Got a buddy or two with phones or tablets, then you can probably manage multi-camera shooting (sure the picture characteristics may vary noticeably, but come on, this is still amazing) and ship the footage between devices in minutes. And once you get decent at it, the end result might even be almost watchable, instead of muddy garbage, and you can share it with the whole world with a few taps. I mean, damn.
Epik literally runs neo-nazi websites. They court them when they get booted from other platforms.

There's a german saying that goes "There are 10 people at the table with a Nazi. There are 11 Nazis at the table".

If you do business with Epik, a service owned and operated by Rob Monster, who is also a virulent Gab user and proud Neo Nazi and Antisemite, then you earn some guilt by association.

And nobody chooses Epik for the price or the service. They choose Epik because their website would be terminated from most other mainstream providers for violating rules against violence and hate speech.
Actually, it's both. Parent is arguing a consequentialist ethical framework - public health experts have a primary duty of care to the population, and their actions should promote this goal.

Your position of "you won't be trusted if everything coming out of your mouth is a lie" is fully compatible with this framework.

Considering the other person's mental model and incorporating their terminology when communicating with them, even when they're a bit wrong, isn't "lying" - it's basic empathy.
Being skeptical of "Long COVID" claims around (typically) asymptomic or mild COVID cases in children is reasonable. Nevertheless, we should vaccinate children -- ordinary acute COVID is bad enough, and of course they are still a transmission vector.

Long COVID isn't well-defined in general; some large subset of it is psychosomatic. The main non-psychosomatic problem seems to be fallout from ARDS (Acute Respitory Distress Syndrome), which is directly related to severe bouts of COVID (and generally younger people have less severe COVID, with or without vaccines).

I remember playing Northern Rebirth just yet, I think I had a few loyal dwarves but that's all. Of course you also have a core band of units which come up in every scenario. They are often irreplenishable, such as there's being only one wizard in the whole campaign.

You need to be extra careful to keep loyal/special units from harm, and for the most important ones it's an explicit scenario requirement. And that means regular career units doing the heavy lifting.

i wonder how long it will take before the goverments are forced to take action?

i mean, after world war 2, there was a massive housing crisis in europe because of cities turned to rubble, but thanks to massive public works programmes which created housing, this was solved relately quickly (<10 years in some cases).

The free market will not solve this problem because the shortage of houses is actually netting them more money, especially with the massive amount of money pumping going on.

I've never heard about modular music, but I know must VSTs are extremely expensive. And they're expensive to even seriously try.

I want to get into music production but a barrier is that Omnisphere and FL Studio are $500 and have a super-limited trial version. As a grad student I'm not going to spend $500 for a piece of software I might be interested in using.

I would much rather have it be like software development where almost everything is free. And instead of paying upfront, synths / effects can make money by taking a cut of your revenue (I don't think that's like software development but it means synth producers still make revenue).
Money.

The going rate for iOS full chain (iMessage, Safari, or BT/WiFi exploit + sandbox escape, protection bypass, and persistence) is over two million dollars. The brokers then sell them for 2x-5x that amount. Reporting that same vulnerability to Apple can net you up to a million.
so these days 10GbPCIe and 10gbe are essentially the same thing at the low level silicon/pins/wires level the bit packing/unpacking/signalling stuff has a whole lot in common and they're all sort of converging on some superset of hardware serdes - the higher level hardware stuff is still different (ethernet MACs vs PCI etc) of course
I don't think that is an accurate representation of the findings. Half of all patients at a VA hospital where they have a policy of testing everyone admitted for COVID regardless of why they are there.

"Among the limitations of the study is that patients in the VA system are not representative of the U.S. population as a whole, as they include few women and no children. (Still, the new findings echo those from the two pediatric-admissions studies.) Also, like many medical centers, the VA has a policy to test every inpatient for COVID, but this is not a universal practice."

So basically the population studied skews towards groups who tend to have better COVID outcomes and is subject to universal testing. It is interesting but I don't think it should really change the picture much.

If there is one domain registrar that nearly all neo-nazi websites use because no one else will do business with them, and the owner of said registrar also is a self-proclaimed neo-nazi - it seems pretty reasonable to claim epik primarily exists to further neo-nazi causes.
