Good article summarizing a lot of things relevant to continued COVID'19 caution:
https://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks/beyond-long-covid-1.7485888
Key points:
COVID'19 weakens the immune system:
"""
So it's not just about infecting you and causing respiratory illness and fever and all of the things that we usually get with the viral infection. This virus also specifically causes your immune system to become weaker.
"""
It damages blood vessels:
"""
In addition to SARS-CoV-2's ability to dysregulate the immune system and suppress the immune system, the spike protein itself is very damaging to blood vessel structures as well as red blood cells and platelets themselves.
"""
The folk idea that infections make our immune system stronger and stronger like a muscle just isn't true (or at least, doesn't apply to COVID'19 because of how, unlike most other viruses, it damages the immune system):
"""
For the longest time in the field of immunology, there was the sort of adage that your immune system needs to be tested every now and again to stay strong. That's an old-fashioned idea.
The more new-fashioned and evidence-based idea is that, although your immune system can take on [a COVID] infection, you want to avoid testing it as much as possible because your body is sustaining damage with each infection that it survives.

Visual Mental Imagery and Aphantasia Lesions Map onto a Convergent Brain Network
Background Visual mental imagery, the ability to volitionally form perceptual representations without corresponding external stimuli, allows reliving of past events, solving problems and imagining the future. The absence of visual mental imagery, called aphantasia, has recently been recognized to occur in about 1% of the general population but the cause is uncertain. By studying rare cases of acquired aphantasia we can identify regions that when injured cause loss of visual mental imagery. Met…

In a few days I’ll have a CSV/json of exported Cryptpad answers for some kind of census. Are there any open source softwares out there that make analysing these kind of stuff easier?
Instead of just like opening it on a fucking libreoffice spreadsheet or something.
Ideally it’d give me like the amount of people who selected each option on a question, same for written ones (being able to set aliases like “abcd = ABCD” and “Guix = GNU Guix” bc people can’t be consistent when answering polls), with the ability to understand comma-separated replies to those questions as if they were multiple selections on a checkbox question).
Maybe being able to generate some graphs too, but at least giving me a list with like “question1, reply1, amount” for each so I can easily make graphs myself.

Norge trenger verken autoritære ledere eller formelle stater, for ekte frihet og folkestyre vokser fram når arbeiderklassen og lokale fellesskap tar styringen selv gjennom direkte handling og desentralisert selvstyre.
Jeg nekter å la noen herske over meg eller ta beslutninger på mine vegne, fordi makten tilhŸrer arbeiderne og fellesskapet gjennom selvorganisering og solidaritet.
