Bipta, to mildlyinteresting in People may suffer ‘long colds’ more than four weeks after infection, study shows | Medical research

Crucially:

However, the researchers do not yet have evidence suggesting that the symptoms have the same severity or duration as long Covid

...

Martineau said people with Covid in the study were more likely to suffer taste and smell problems and light-headedness or dizziness than those without. They also suffered heart palpitations, sweating and hair loss.

Those in the non-Covid group were more likely to have a cough or a hoarse voice than people with Covid. Both groups suffered breathlessness and fatigue.

It’s a shame that it didn’t happen sooner, but I’m super happy for Wab. I don’t hear a lot about him in Alberta, but what I do hear is always positive.

ieightpi, to mildlyinteresting in People may suffer ‘long colds’ more than four weeks after infection, study shows | Medical research

The article is confusing. Are they saying COVID causes long colds? In other words now that COVID is like the common cold when you get it, they are just saying you have mild long COVID I think?

fubo,

The visibility of long-COVID has led people to reevaluate whether other viruses cause “long” syndromes. It looks like rhinovirus (aka “the common cold”) can, too.

There are other viruses that were already known to cause “long” symptoms, often due to damage caused to the nervous system by the virus or the immune response. Post-polio syndrome has been known for a long time, for example.

ieightpi,

Thansl for clarifying. This is very interesting.

sbv,

That’s a very succinct explanation!

Caligvla,

They’re saying that, like covid, colds also have lasting after effects.

bl4ckblooc,

It didn’t seem that difficult I got it from the headline. I guess some people’s thinking goes out the window when COVID is mentioned

Gyrolemmy, to upliftingnews in Lords to debate mandating swift bricks in new homes in England

Anyone who has had a bird nest on the roof of their house will know this is a bad idea. Those dudes are noisy as fuck in the morning.

Gonna start double bagging everything now. A brick wall gives better information than the guardian.

This is perhaps not strictly RedditMigration, but it certainly discusses migration to Mastodon which is all good too!

Those photos are so harrowing 🙄 Meanwhile, the Guantanamo Bay detention camp and other American black sites are still open, and an actual genocide is happening in Palestine with American material & political support.

The Uyghur genocide has already been debunked several times over, but go on Guardian.

paywall article

sketchy source

“Wiki” where all the source links are CGTN or other CCP things

Sure.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Weird that these deniers don’t just go straight to the CIA saying it’s not genocide.

Of course, the CIA does lie professionally, and isn’t exactly known for being anti-genocide.

noctisatrae,

This seems kinda fishy :((

qdJzXuisAndVQb2,

Great whataboutism, tankie scum. No shit the US does some truly fucked up shit. Nobody realistically thinks their government is a paragon of virtue. Just that the Chinese government does fucked up shit as well. Both can be true, bootlicker.

admiralteal, (edited ) to upliftingnews in Animal shelter in Pennsylvania empty for first time in 47 years

Does "reunited with their owners" mean these were lost animals whose owners were identified? How does the SPCA help with that and why were there hundreds?

Or does it maybe mean companions that were taken from homeless people and then held hostage with a fee.

Alto,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

Im assuming it's primarily through microchip tracking and just dogs getting out. Dog runs out the house, gets lost. If they don't have a chip or tags, the shelter has no real way of contacting the owner unless the owner sees a post about it/someone at the shelter sees something about the dog being lost. Lost pets are more frequent during holidays due to traveling, running out the door when letting family in, etc.

Why9, to privacy in Police to be able to run face recognition searches on 50m driving licence holders | Facial recognition | The Guardian

You have to renew your driver’s license every 10 years. That means in the worst case scenario, the image they’re using of you could be 10 years out of date.

Those images are also not detailed enough to be used for facial recognition. Sure, it could help narrow down the list of suspected people, but they’re crazy if they think they’d be able to pinpoint someone based on what they looked like 5-10 years prior.

I suspect these powers are being used for something else more sinister. Immigration, for example, to clamp down on people who have licenses and are delivery drivers, or taxi drivers for example.

ElderWendigo, (edited )

It’s not the kind of search where they need to be very precise; certainly not pinpoint accuracy. t’s just another tool to narrow their searches that rely on other details.

And if you’re a fully grown adult, not undergoing radical facial reconstruction, it seems unlikely to be that the relative distances and orientations of your eyes, nose, and mouth are going to change very much. My driver’s license photo is at least a decade old and even though my face looks different on the surface due to age, changes in weight, and changes in hair color and length I’d bet my key features are still in relatively the same places.

Of course they could also be using this for more sinister purposes. No argument there.

CJOtheReal, to privacyguides in EU fingerprint checks for British travellers to start in 2024

Good. Fingerprints are in the passport so checking them isn’t a problem. Outside EU means Outside EU.

Pratai, to upliftingnews in Almost £300,000 raised for delivery driver who intervened in Dublin attack

Shouldn’t the 300,000 serve more purpose being sent to the victims?

Maiznieks,

Empty, useless, rhetoric, sounds like You’re trying to shame either those that donated or the receiver. There’s no good way to confirm it would (serve more purpose), but anyway - people donated to the cause that was set. There’s nothing that would prevent to create another fund raising for victims too.

Pratai,

The fact that you think I’m shaming anyone speaks volumes about how there’s things you need to fix about yourself.

I said nothing about the quality of character of those donating, or the man that received donations- only that maybe the actual victims could use the money more…

You know- for hospital bills and therapy?

Fix yourself.

Meowoem,

They won’t have hospital bills, this happened in Ireland not capitalist hell

Pratai, (edited )

You think their future treatment won’t come with a cost?

Flexaris,

Pratai,

Fixed it. Didn’t pay attention to autocorrect. Thats what I get for typing in 30° temperature.

Jdreben, to news in Canadian former intelligence chief found guilty of leaking state secrets

coldredlight,

Potentially. They are denying it’s true, and I don’t think any more evidence has come out besides this one claim.
