Jesus Christ, Paul! Stay safe and keep us updated! That sounds like an all-around terrrible situation to be in.

You'd be wrong there, but that's more of a discussion about the current status quo of what folks have learned about reversing biological age and where the science is headed right now. AKA, a different thread.

If you don’t want to answer it’s cool but how old are you and do you have any comorbidities?

I’ve obsessively followed the infection rates at the closest jail and the two closest prisons. The jail is corrupt af and they hide behind non-testing but the prisons are surprisingly transparent and have reached around 70% positive. That’s way over 1000 positive cases and among those from what I gather only one otherwise healthy young person has needed to be hospitalized and none have died. From the entire sample of people there’s been under ten deaths from the prisons and the jail has to make public any death and no one from the county lock up has died. I know it’s unnerving but the chance that you’re infected is very high. The chance that you’re going to get acutely ill ranges from low to very low.

And btw, I’m sorry you have to deal with this. I know at best it’s stressful and frightening af. Unfortunately the stress itself adds to the health concerns. If you can, and I’m horrible at this, but if you can try to just take it easy.

Everyone on this forum really likes you. I don’t know what ****ing good that does you but it doesn’t hurt. It’s good to be loved even if it’s a bunch of ******* losers you don’t even know!

Post written with much love.

I'm too new to this forum to know you well (did I mention I love your beard?) but I'm sorry to hear that. Take care and keep us updated

Paul, I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through. I hate that you are dealing with this situation but hope you can take some small comfort in the fact that many people here love and care about you. Please continue to check in when you're able to and let us know how you're doing. xo

I've told you this before, but this is just a lazy rationalization for avoiding any sort of critical thinking.

Instead of questioning your preconceived beliefs when confronted with evidence to the contrary, you just wave it away in some vague appeal to the complexity of human cognition.

This is a crutch and nothing more.

no... What's funny is that it implicitly relies on a sorta eugenicist logic that poor people will never have kids that go on to be rich ..

COVID-19 needs to step up it's death game if it wants to put much of a dent in the human population, though.
