Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

If you're eating meat, it is very hard to *not* be getting all the nutrients one needs.

I don't eat much meat - I do take some multivitamins to compensate. I love gummies - so I grew up from Flintstones

When I was a kid I loved these and ate an entire bottle… apparently you can’t OD on vitamins.

One of my idols when I was a boy was Popeye the Sailor Man. I liked to eat spinach just like Popeye.

Straight out of a can?

The first ( Well he does have an earlier book, but never read so cannot comment on it) book/audiobook:

The Dorito Effect

Check out this great listen on Audible.com. In The Dorito Effect, Mark Schatzker shows us how our approach to the nation's number-one public health crisis has gotten it wrong. The epidemics of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes are not tied to the overabundance of fat or carbs. Instead we have...

Well, the title, at least, is appropriate here:

Is it bad that we still think they're delicious?

With vinegar I hope.....

That spinach/vinegar weight loss diet is a fad that some fall for.

That spinach/vinegar weight loss diet is a fad that some fall for.

No fad, it is the only way I eat cooked spinach. I grew up on dilled green beans too.
It is regional

Omicron update. Another Tweet thread from Trevor Bedford. I am linking to a later tweet, because it's his concern. Lots of explanation in the prior tweets so click thru and scroll up.

Estimate of Rt in South Africa is 3. South Africa is estimated to have immunity around 90%, primarily through natural infection (full vax is only 25%). It's still Rt of 3. That's not good. If you have been vaccinated or prior infection, mild infection is likely. Most people in South Africa have some immunity so that's why they are reporting mostly mild illness. Last week (?) I posted to a link of CDC estimates of natural infection in the US. We still have millions of people with no immunity against SARS-COV-2. We don't have evidence to say for these people that their infection will be any milder than wild, Alpha or Delta. We don't know how the people with immunity but also significant comorbidities will fare. I don't have good expectations for the continuing strain on our hospitals and health care workers, because the math is still not in our favor, and most people won't be expecting it anymore than they expected what happened with Delta.

Keep yo slime to yo self


"
Dr. Paul Cieslak, the medical director for communicable diseases and immunizations with OHA, says making the rule permanent doesn't mean it'll be in place forever.

"Permanent means indefinite. It doesn’t necessarily mean permanent," Dr. Cieslak said. "We can repeal it as well, but we are only allowed to have a temporary rule for 180 days, and anything that goes beyond 180 days, we cannot extend it."

Actually when you read past the headline, it seems reasonable.

Big jumps in the case numbers in the North East that last few days..

PA:

NJ:

NY:

 

[Andrew C]

Exactly what would the motivation be for them not to repeal it?

All laws and rules can be repealed. What is their motivation to repeal it?

“nobody wants masks forever”
2 days later…
“Ooo let’s make our mask mandate permnanent even though pretty much every state has or is ending their own…but don’t worry, we can always repeal it. Permanent isn’t really permanent. We just won’t tell you when we will repeal or the conditions for doing so. And we can change the conditions anytime anyways. But trust us!!”

I actually don't do gummies regularly. Only recently because they were in stock and my others were not lol. My husband does some type of fish oil himself. As one with a mild allergy to onions and intentionally avoids all steak that meal would be out. Love rice and chicken though.

Good thing we implemented laughable travel restrictions
