Daamn..I get so bored even when I don't stay at home.
I have not cut my hair way over a year now and I even googled "what happens if you never cut your hair".
Apparently nothing happens except split ends.

Jeez that sucks. I wear masks where required. Not a fan of them in the gym, that should be a “safe zone” for maskless. They aren’t stopping much from forceful exhalations when a mask is so saturated with slobber and sweat it’s practically dripping. I don’t think they are proving to be of much value in in real world cases (comparing states with or without data). Hopefully by June or July cases will be low enough the mitigation stuff will just go away/won’t be justified or tolerated.

Ya know what’s funny here, I bet If Dr. Fauci read this post he’d say, this is scientifically correct, this is a smart fella, but he can’t, he’s been bullied into thinking like a bunch of crazy Ching Chongs.

[QUOTE=Reliance012;1636288063]You can be anti vaccine without being anti all vaccines. The Covid vaccine is literally a vaccine. If you are anti Covid vaccine, you are — say it with me — literally anti vaccine. Anything else you want to get cute with?
Here, maybe this will help. Literally.
“Vaccine hesitancy, also known as anti-vaccination or anti-vax, is a reluctance or refusal to be vaccinated or to have one's children vaccinated against contagious diseases. People who conform to this view are commonly known as "anti-vaxxers". The term encompasses outright refusal to vaccinate, delaying vaccines, accepting vaccines but remaining uncertain about their use, or using certain vaccines but not others.”

Mask in the gym has been a royal PITA for me. Like you said it gets soaked in sweat and wearing a gaiter has only been slightly better.
There's only one attendant that is a mask Nazi, when she's not working there's a Bro code that half masking or pulled down masking is OK.

Get one of the mesh masks they sell. It literally meets all the criteria for wearing a mask.

AZ dose 1 yesterday afternoon, felt very tired last night. Woke at 04:00 this morning shivering, got worse and I spent a couple of hours fighting being sick and finally managed to get out of bed at 08:00, feeling sick, headache, slightly dizzy, very painful arm. Had something to eat and drink, had 2 paracetamol (Tylenol) and decided to take day off work. Couple of hours on bed and I feel mostly fine again, back to 90%.
Missed a day's work (and so missed a day's pay) and failed to go to gym this morning. Feeling better and should be able to go to gym tomorrow morning.
Did get side effects from AZ dose, but short lived. Have heard that AZ blood clots (at about 1 person in 1 million) seem to happen mostly women in their 30s who are taking the combined contraceptive pill, so I'm not in a risk category.
Edit: just seen a new study on US data revised the risk of the brain blood clot upwards to about 4 people per million after AZ vaccine

Very scary, OFT. Sending positive vibes that the symptoms subside and you will be 100% soon.

So the governor in my state lied to get people to get shots, he said he felt like he had a burst of energy an could drop and do push ups.
So what’s up with that, why is all of a sudden not a problem for a governor to bs everyone on this? Cause everyone’s scared?
And maybe they did give a B-12, the sheep will not know?

Why the fuk do you turn every post into something political? Tom had a shot and got a reaction, many here also had reactions, additionally, many here had the shot and had no reaction. It's a needle going into a persons arm and their reaction or lack of to it. Got absolutely SFA to do with ones political choice. Some get a reaction some don't. Jesus dude do you eat, sleep and breath politics

Hopefully you will be in the clear. Everyone that I personally know who has had sides have had them start w/in a day. Just talked to someone who was off for 2 days due to sides from second dose, but they said on the second day the sides cleared up pretty much instantly around midday.

Hopefully you already feel better! What you're reporting sound fairly common and to be expected given how this vaccine works.
Sucks that you missed out on pay! Self-employed? Otherwise, you should have sick leave! :(

Despite the naysayers, there's good evidence out there that you have significantly reduced risk of getting COVID and transmitting it (and virtually none of stuff like clots).

I am 90% sure you have taken the Plague vaccine. Can you believe all these stupid anti-vaxxers that haven't taken the Plague vaccine?
And don't even get me started on all these ignorant anti-vaxxers who haven't gotten the Anthrax series. They are so dumb. Also, the jerks that don't even have the common decency to get vaccinated against smallpox.
They are so stupid and we are so smart. I feels so good to be better than those anti-science crazies.

LOL I'm actually kind of jealous of some of those bioweapon vaccines you guys got (srs). I've read that the smallpox vaccines that US stockpiles for emergency use are more than 50 years old. Hopefully they give you guys fresh stuff.

I hope you get over this quickly, I know a lot of people that had the AZ jab, I don't recall anyone that experienced such extreme side affects, it's pretty crap when you have to take time off work.
On the positive side, I suspect you've had a strong immune response.
The BBC news reported about a week ago, the risk of blood clots had been revised to 1 in 240,000.

I have a question for all of you that feel like commenting. Last night on Bill Maher's show he continued his endless rant on doctors not mentioning obesity as an epidemic in this covid crisis. He called out doctors and politicians for not attacking the fact that 78% of those hospitalized during this crisis were obese. Now while I agree with reducing the 42% of obese Americans I feel like it is a long term goal not a short term one. It seems to take folks forever to lose 20 pounds let alone 50 or more. I just don't see drastic changes with friends and family let alone my fellow gym attendees. I think this is a much harder task and not a quick fix for most people. The gf and I debated this last night after the show ended and I wonder what your take on the subject is?

Interesting, I've heard just the opposite that people with auto-immune should be at the front of the line for a vaccine because their immune system can't fight this off like most people. Do you have a link by chance?

During the first wave, I was pleased there was a poster campaign here to encourage people to lose weight. I thought this would finally break the grip of the HAEW (healthy at every weight) campaign that made people scared to discuss body fat levels in terms of health in case it was seen as discriminatory (or even twisted into accusations of racism!)
Unfortunately, here anyway, that seems to have been left behind and it disappeared and discussion of weight isn't happening
