I sent them a letter shortly after the original suggestion in no way did I imply I expected something to happen immediately. Why would you feel the need to bash someone who is already down on their luck? I asked for advice or a way to get in contact on a thread that I started, fully was not prepared for the harsh response from somebody. I was trying to be courteous and respond to you since you took the time to offer a suggestion.

I’m sorry I said something to offend you and my grammar or sentence structure is not up to par. I was simply stating that I took the suggest and appreciate the feedback, im frustrated with unemployment and needed to vent. I wasn’t aware that it was going to warrant me being belittled. Thank you for your reply and courtesy.

Um, OK? Maybe wait to see if your representatives actually make something happen for you before your next run-on sentence tirade. I'm sorry you didn't find my reply reassuring enough for you to wait more than a few non-business hours before your hyperbolic pity party. I thought it might be helpful.

I have been to work source, labor and idustries, and have called numerous numbers, I may not have specified that, but i'd like to think if someone has resorted to posting on reddit for help they have exhausted the normal avenues...I'm not denied, i have my weekly benefit amount and and expiration date....i'm just in limbo...

.... sorry if i sound snappy i'm just frustrated.

Yep i wrote all three of them this afternoon, so i'm originaly from alaska and have never had this problem, even when i was here in washington during covid and they had the special claim period, but during that time they just approved everyone and then went back and hit you with overpayment if you didn't qualify, its just ridiculous I worked 50+ hours a week for four years straight, paid into it and now that i need to use the program that I have paid for i can't get access, i have two minor children and a wife with parkinsons, i'm the sole bread winner this 8week of no income has tapped everything i have and is going to take me years to fix what ive had to sacrifice because they are too busy to care, really makes me and my family feel like we are insignificant in Washington's eyes...the way I look at it, its the government of Washington therefore the state of washington says I don't matter.

Govt is slower than shit. I applied for Medicare in July. Just got approved, haven’t received cards yet. So about 4&1/2 months of waiting, with periodic stops into their office to double-check there wasn’t anything else I could do to speed it along. They will charge me retroactively for Medicare B, so about $340. Two months worth.

That's a part of it. Seeing if i can find the article again

Found it

>Leonardi was one of the first experts to recognize how SARS-CoV-2 damages T cells, which worsens with repeat infections. In late 2020, he and Rui Proenca, a researcher at Johns Hopkins University, published research in Frontiers in Immunology describing SARS-CoV-2 as a "lympho-manipulative pathogen," meaning it alters the immune organs called lymph nodes, and "distorts T cell function, numbers, and death, and creates a dysfunctional immune response."

It's linked also in r/everythingscience

Huh, my Mom has caught something similar. I believe she is mostly better now (also been a couple months) other than her white blood cell count is unusually high. obviously she was tested for cancer and that came back negative. She also has no idea whaf it is, and maybe it's completely unrelated but it's definitely odd.
