Sorry man. Feels like 2024, no more no less. Friendship and willingness to be around people (in person) is an old fart thing. Nowadays I only invite or make plans with my really close friends. Friends that are more family than friends.

Those casual friends we used to have are gone for good between laziness and socializing on-line, whatever that is.

If you were my neighbor and invited me I would've totally attended and decimated those delicious quesitos!

That's so unfortunate. I hope she's ok

That is great. I guess since the virus has different effects on people the ways out of it (or at least long COVID) are also multiple. Take care!

That's what makes it so scary. I didn't have long COVID and I was feeling alright about the "cold" but it took a month for me to feel like I had the same amount of energy I had before catching it.

About the younger ones... I don't want to think about it but I can't help thinking about my nephews. Some of them got COVID two or even three times.

The studies I've read aren't too optimistic about their future health. I hope they're wrong.

Glad to read that! I know some folks that got long COVID and they are yet to make a comeback. I'll share your comment, it gives some hope 🫂

Is there anything you can think of that made a difference or it's been just a matter of patience?

"At the achieved rates, these countries would on average take more than 220 years to reduce their emissions by 95%, emitting 27 times their remaining 1·5°C fair-shares in the process. To meet their 1·5°C fair-shares alongside continued economic growth, decoupling rates would on average need to increase by a factor of ten by 2025."

So the findings are what we all thought they would be: not even close.

Thanks for sharing.

That's a very evolutionist stand, which is proved to do more harm than good to society. There are economic options out of capitalism and communism, for that matter.

If you think that capitalism is going forward or a valid place to start something from, it surprises me that you're even in this community, since even Marx himself abandoned the idea that capitalism was the necessary (although wrong) path to get to socialism.

We visited NY last year for the first time and it's so sad to see the pictures. I hope the people is taking care of themselves and masking up despite whatever bs fox news and others say.

This is not only unhealthy but, life threatening in the short term for some people.
