I saw people on my TL talking about the last time they cooked for someone else and in my case, that's easy to remember:

February 2020, just before I went into pandemic isolation.

Because February 2020 + the first week of March 2020 are the last times I did anything involving other people.

"Using an in-home HEPA purifier for one month spurs a small but significant improvement in brain function in adults age 40 and older."

Gosh, that sounds like the sort of thing it would be good to install in indoor workplaces.

Research updates, April 7 - The Sick Times

A clinical trial for non-invasive vagal nerve stimulation failed in improving fatigue in Long COVID. 45 participants used a specific transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) device, or a sham (placebo), during the four-week trial.

are there any covid cautious, contagion cautious, virus vigilant, still masking, etc kind of hashtags that are not for PSAs or vent posts? I would like the ability to see more posts that are covid safer or from masking folks but are about joyful things rather than The Horrors™️

P (he/him): I’ve started the #maskedupsluts hashtag and it would be great to find more tags to follow like that, or accounts to follow that are covid cautious but not full of doomposting or calls to action

Had to go see a doctor and as usual, nowadays, it fills me with despair. My GP was so kind to wear a "mask", if a baggy blue even qualifies as one. She is a tiny person, so the "mask" looked huge on her face, left huge gaps as well. After i left her office i could hear her cough. Then an assistant "needed" to explain a home test to me, even though it comes with clear instructions. She forgot to put on a "mask", oops, which probably contaminated the test.

Humanity is doomed.
