I went back in hard after I recovered and I ****ed my sh*t up bad because of it. It stays with you for a while. Tread lightly with the powerlifting big man. Yeah, right now just taking a hot shower wiped me out. ? Going to ease back into it, on the glass half full side, I now qualify for "Senior" Games and I'm the Masters Division, so no more open divisions against geared up meatheads! Not many 242+ guys left when you hit the Masters-2 bracket. Appreciate the tip. Now, how do we get more season of The Expanse?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno man, I started doing Masters divisions for IBJJF a few years ago and the dudes in their 40s seem like they’re on more gear now than the young guys. Having to strip grips from someone that has old man and/or dad strength AND is on a cycle? Brutal. The only benefit is that everyone seems to understand we all have jobs to go to on Monday so maybe take it easy with the ******* joint locks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A visit to r/hermancainaward should be enlightening for those here relying on made up things like "natural" immunity. Many people featured on that subreddit relied on "natural" immunity and vitamins and zinc or whatever the anti-vaxxers take these days, posted about it on the interwebz before later dying from covid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No % of the population and no amount of boosters is every going to change that. Its all politics at this point. I get a flu shot every year despite the politics. By the end of this year we will have over 1 million dead because of Covid in the USA. As tired of this as everyone is data is still important. Data isn't politics. Supressing data is politics. The public has a right to make informed decisions for themselves on how they want to deal with this going forward. Data and health officials recommendations, which change with data and can be wrong and amended is still a valuable tool for individuals to make choices. I'm not pointing this at you so don't take it personally. There seems to be a far amount of people who believe that health officials and data are conspiring to mislead people and should be discredited and attacked as if they were partisan hacks. The reality is we have a fast moving global pandemic where data changes all the time. The data and expert opinion based on data is still a valuable tool. Particularly for people who believe in personal choice over government action. Not that government action isn't warranted in many casses. People getting tested is more than just for that person. It helps create a data base and improves out knowledge so we can again make informed personal choices. Having data allows people to make choices. Having experts interpret data helps them make informed choices. Ignorance is not an informed choice. 7 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am not clear on what malarkey you want to snip? let me explain it this way. If I had to chose between being in outstanding health without a vaccine and in poor health with a vaccine. I’d choose the former. And this disease overwhelmingly is killing people in poor health This disease is not killing people in outstanding health, with or without a vaccine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for lateral flows - not sure where the 50/50 stuff is coming from - studies have presented figures of 80%+: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2021/oct/lateral-flow-tests-detect-most-people-risk-transmitting-covid-19#:~:text=The peer-reviewed paper%2C published,infectious when using the test.

Now other people are following suit, I haven’t seen dad since Sunday, and I am immunocompromised so I’m battling my own anxiety even though I know it’s supposed to be mild.
