Well this particular guy in the article died. I’m not sure the one in the radio episode I heard lived, but having Covid and being immunocompromised doesn’t sound all that pleasant.

So did the guy feel awful the whole time this was happening?

Not related to what I was saying

I’m not saying this isn’t true, but I am saying it’s pretty unlikely.

You know the vaccine isn’t a drug that cures active Covid infection right? It only inoculates you against contracting it.

You likely haven’t dodged catching it, you’ve just dodged the symptoms. I think there was a post in here a week or so ago about a certain protein found in the lungs that some people have that help them evade any symptoms.

I don’t know how I managed to dodge this for so long, but I hope I can keep dodging it forever.

It hits transplant patients hard too, due to the anti rejection meds

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Climate change and the projected savannization of the Brazilian Amazon threaten most land-based mammals that live there, new research shows. The “savannization” here refers to when lush rainforest gives way to a drier, open landscape that resembles savanna but is actually degraded forest. by MistWeaver80

Sounds both extremely fascinating and quite scary.

Only vaguely in the same realm but I was lucky enough to be able to use VR while in the hospital for a month waiting for spine surgery and it was such a great break from life. My breathing and heartrate would be much better while using it and it would get me away from my real body that was covered in wires/tubes. It was the strongest my SO2 levels could get (I got pneumonia from not being able to walk for so long).
REALLY hope that VR becomes a thing for people in the hospital and with limited mobility.

The contact information for one of the lead scientists of the study is at the bottom of this page:

They might be interested in finding participants for future case studies. It can't hurt to try.

I’m on day 29, it sucks. Feels like it’s never ending semi sickness.

The real strand type was the molecules we made along the way

That is an eipc amount of energy being released...

You are correct, but I think they’re going one step further and proposing a mechanism via a weak nuclear interaction that is non parity preserving. But I may have missed something.

Well, those studies were done with people who had spinal cord injuries, not strokes, and the electrodes were transcutaneous (i.e. outside of the body), not implanted in the spinal cord. This study likely built on those findings, though.
