COVID-19: who’s going full doomsday prep on this?

[ozzybmx]

Anyone have strange vision ? Im 51 this year and had the most perfect sight, after my first corona bout my vision went all sparkly where I couldn't focus on shit.

Work bought me glasses that had a slight lense on one eye (never used them), just got them done a few weeks ago and another work pair, slight lens in the other eye and the already lensed eye went up 1 step.

Just getting old maybe.

Maybe. You had full blood tests done last time?

My eyes were great up until I was early 50s. Long vision is still really good and my reading glasses prescription hasn't changed in the almost 100 years since.

Been getting full bloods done since forever, the prostate issue had them further under scrutiny.

Everything is good with eye health and still not wearing glasses but they make looking at a phone so much better if I use them.

I had similar. First time when my sense of smell returned I had some really odd smells that made me ask people if they could smell it too. Nope. Last time my smell didn’t change at all.

I remember having a lazy poo when I had COVID. My smell was pretty gone but some smells came through. I thought someone was baking bread in the house, it smelled pretty awesome until I realised I was smelling my own shit and my COVID nose was filtering out most of the scents.

Puts a new spin on "dropping a loaf".

Covid had such a diverse range of symptoms for people. We are so lucky it is gone.

I do, but it's age related.

 

[ozzybmx]

I'm starting to think it was a coincidence.

Nope. It was planned. You gotta keep up!

I'd say you're right there, it's 'cos you're getting old! I'm not that far behind you age-wise (47); a couple of weeks back I had a brief but really weird episode of funny vision while riding, but everything else felt fine. I had the 'Vid a bit over a year ago, and had no effects on vision during or in any suspect timeframe after it, so it's fair to say the recent little spell is unrelated, and I suspect yours is the same

Might be right ole Ducky !

Nothing to worry about. It is just a natural consequence of all that wanking around about ebikes. Everyone knows it will make you go blind...

Makes our eyesight better, as we go faster than you's regular bikers.

That extra speeeeed makes your eyes water, so vision is more fucked.

Warp neck speed makes it dry quicker so the only ones with tears are the proper MTBers.

Cant see it anyway out of my supposed Pit Vipers

 

[pink poodle]

I have a pair of pit vipers. I can't wear them on my bike because they are too big for my head and fall off.

 

[nzhumpy]

the proper MTBers.

Nailed it.

Looking into boosters since I had my last one in March 2022. Seems advice for someone 18-64 without risk factors is to maybe think about a 2023 boost.

ATAGI Update on the COVID-19 Vaccination Program

Recommendations from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) regarding an additional COVID-19 dose for highest risk people in 2023. These recommendations are in addition to the previous ATAGI COVID-19 vaccine booster advice published in February 2023.

Got my 6th jab last Friday.
Every second person seems to have covid at the moment, and I'd rather a sore shoulder for a day than a 5 days of feeling shit plus the chance of losing my sense of smell and lung covid
