Too soon? See you Thursday.
I'll be there!
COVID-19
Anyone else still not been sick?

I've not had symptomatic C-19. If I got exposed and had it without symptoms there is no way to tell without a blood test. I continue to take what I consider to be sensible precautions without going overboard. From the research I've done it seems like getting C-19 at all carries long-term risks we don't fully understand so I am not in the "don't worry about it be happy" boat. I'll keep trying to avoid it.

That's great, I feel about the same regarding long term unknowns.
I've been to weddings, events, gatherings, travelled a bit.. nothing. Gf works in healthcare, has been exposed and tested dozens of times.. nothing. *knock on wood*.

Same situation for me. Lucky, or completely asymptomatic. I'm not the most social person to start with, but haven't been very vigilant about avoidance since things "opened up".
Even with all the shots and boosters I got covid about a year ago running door at a Legion gig but it wasn't bad

A ski writer that i guided around a little bit when he did an artical up here has been pretty fucked up for > a year, buddy WAS a super fit ski tourer biker but i've seen vids of him only able to make it to the curb, at least now hes up to a couple of miles
There is no way to know how you will react so ask yerself do ya feel lucky,
well do ya ... punk ?
I have always been up to date vax wise but I caught Omicron twice last year. Both times sucked, but they were comparable to other times I got sick enough to stay in bed. I caught what I think was Norovirus a few years ago, and it was way worse.
The problem that I have is I have never felt fully better since I caught it last September. It ended my riding season which really sucked because I ended up losing a bet for most vertical with a friend that was also turning 50. Now the asshole is taunting me. :)
I tried to go for a ride in late October and I felt like collapsing. Since then I keep catching colds and never seem to feel like I am back to full power. I have lost 15 to 20 lbs as well, even though I have been pretty sedentary. I am just getting over a bad cold now.
Disclaimer: I also had a fairly large benign tumor removed from my neck on Feb 1st, so I can't rule that out. It was first noticed last fall as well, but I was still feeling good until I caught COVID.
I am tuning up the bikes this weekend and shaking off this cold as best I can, so I should see within a few weeks if I can get back to baseline.

Cast the demon out! Ban him!
yeah there is but I havent talked to my medical consultant
a retired pot smoking socialist MD with a lot of brains
but not always when it comes to avalanches
Seems we may be getting closer to knowing where covid came from.
I don't doubt it's a real possibility. Not sure what benefit we'll get out of that knowledge at this point though.
And, is that dude...black? 😳
Header caricature with a silly Communist hat and a lab coat ticked all the boxes eh. Missed opportunity to Photoshop in a Mexican gaucho poncho and a bandolier. Maybe a check from Hunter Biden under the clipboard. 😅
Regardless it's a good article. Just a heads up, UK Times is owned by Rupert Murdoch.

Yeah, I did catch that.
In terms of the benefit I think it would be good to know if this was in fact a result of Chinese govt/army programs as alluded to in the article and what exact role US agencies had in the whole thing. This would help to dispel a lot of the innuendo and nonsense floating around.

Hey Syncro do you ever think there's a logical fallacy to be named that would describe interpeting the studying of and preparing for a likely catastrophe as proof of having caused it if it happens?
