odds of a type 1 diabetic having long term covid complications have to be minimal right

i think your odds of having complications are similar to anyone who doesn't have diabetes but the outlook is a lot more dire if they happen. i have the same deal as you and have been making only quick stops indoors. of course they called our dumb asses back to work a year and a half ago and i'm the only person in the building wearing a mask so :rip: me eventually.

Diabetics are insanely overrepresented in covid hospitalizations and deaths

https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/library/reports/reportcard/diabetes-and-covid19.html

the overwhelming majority of those are people with type 2, who are the majority of people with diabetes in the us because it's caused by being fat. so of course they have a bunch of other things going on that make them easy pickings for this infection. that said, i basically view it as a death sentence if i get got so that's my paranoia rationale.

i'm pretty sure i caught it a second time two weeks ago but my home tests came back negative and i'm not sure where i got it from since i've mostly been staying at home. maybe off my girlfriend who's been going into the lab on campus every day and is way more exposed now that students are coming back but she never showed any symptoms. idk. i had a few days of extreme fatigue followed by two days of my right ear tube being clogged. i didn't think anything of it at the time but apparently the whole ears getting clogged thing is a symptom of the latest variant? who knows

now that the season is changing i'm going from mostly staying away from big events to entirely avoiding them

covid is stored in the ears, change my mind

yeah, i snuck out to some indoor stuff last summer but didn't even try this year. being forced into the office 40 hours a week is enough risk, thanks.

what was up with that half can thing anyway? you’d think they would just give the other half to someone esle but i never got the portion left in the can nor did i ever see they serve anyone else without popping a new one open. :confused:

good fas will remember what they have open but if it's something popular it's faster to crack a new one every time and clean up halves near the end.

they're gonna be banned at the first whiff of civil unrest, after cops claim it makes it too hard to identify protestors to go and arrest/murder later

a lot of states have anti-masking laws that date back to efforts to go after the ku klux klan.

i almost made it three years but got popped last week, confirmed with a pcr. it was all in my nose, three days of feeling terrible and hallucinations when i tried to sleep. i'm sleeping okay now but still really fatigued, to the point where i woke up this morning feeling more tired than i did when i went to bed last night.
