    The editorial cites several robust analyses and concludes that, while uncertainty remains, long COVID symptoms appear to occur after about 10 percent to 20 percent of pediatric infections.

    To this day I still ponder just giving up precautions. But then I read stuff like this, studies showing kids after vaccinations. And then I just wonder “how the fuck do people let this happen to themselves and their kids?”

          “Meanwhile, living conditions in Russia are not so different from living conditions on the Moon . . . Life in Russia differs from life in future colonies on the Moon only in that in Russia almost every year there is summer, a short period of time when you can go outside without a protective suit . . .”

            I mean you could just change it to this:

            Life in the subtropics differs from life in future colonies on Mercury only in that in Florida almost every year there is winter, a short period of time when you can go outside without a protective suit

            Like, there’s definitely a use case for a “space” suit that dehumidifies and cools you. They already make silly outfits with integrated fans in them.

      I go through the same though the same thought process, I just don’t understand it either… It is the purest form of ignorance I have honestly ever seen.
