Real simple solution. Stay the hell out of Greater Sydney. That way you won't have to pay attention to what Professor McLaws, world renowned epidemiologist, respected expert on infectious diseases, has to say. However, wherever you DO go, there will likely be rules and Public Health regulations, which any person really should follow. Frankly what you claim as your "right to decide for me" does not in any way impact the truth, reality, factuality, or common sense of what Professor Mc:Laws has to say.

Thank God for Redbaron.......
I was beginning to think this mysterious conspiracy cloud had come up to Canada from the USA..........
 
How do people make such decisions with intelligence when the ancient law on the books says that knowledge and wisdom is evil? ... according to the authority that gave permission for that isolated tome!

Now who is the advocate of what ... or does what amount to nothing to get a bit stressed over? Then some peace of word will take over in patches ... and the demons will drift into IT ... rest ... where thoughts haunt!

Be still my soul ... all is well with you even if you don't know much! Later it will accrue in a disc driven system --- some archaic Greek that was well oiled ...

Do people of stress destabilize faster in angst? Then it sounds and goes down ... off like a Canaan? Ca as spirit hints at the mythical old one ... Naan?

And shouldn't you have read the article before making your decision to try to negate it ...

This is a direct quote from the article ...

I have no right to obstruct anyone’s breathing. I have no right to cause widely demonstrated and clinically confirmed hypoxic injuries to the brain, heart and musculoskeletal system known in the peer-reviewed research to be caused by masking. Yes, I am sorry that you have been told over the last year that masks don’t reduce oxygen, by emphatic and dogmatic people, but the fact remains that oxygen deficit during mask-wearing is very thoroughly established in peer-reviewed clinical data. Here[1], here[2] and here[3], for example.

There are 17 more references to peer reviewed clinical data in the article should you wish to go on to negate them one by one.

How the hell did we never hear of all the OR surgeons and nurses who must’ve ended up with severe brain damage from masking for several hours a day, daily. In the past 50-100 years there’d be enough to have raised concern...because when people in high paying and respected jobs start being severely harmed or dying due to occupational hazards...that sort of thing makes the news.
 
If you can't get your head around it ... must the mind be already in a pickle?

If not put your mind to it ... if there's one to putin twit ... that'd trump all ...

Word is like that in writ ... darkly warped ... stop and ponder it! Thus the birth of nous thoughts ... out there in demos ...

The woman on my writing board who had it is still reporting problems with sense of smell and taste. She says everything tastes vaguely burnt. My brother, on the other hand, recovered fully within a fairly short time. It seems to be a real crapshoot.

I'll have to read that. Wonder if they people who might have developed Type 2 anyhow and it somehow accelerated the process.
 
I wonder if Covid patients getting diabetes may add some knowledge to the diabetes situation. If Covid suddenly turned the pancreas “off” can they figure out a trigger to turn in “ on”
 
Did you know that much of the disorders in the digestive system and the abdomen are sourced from the autonomous system directed in a complex of the vagus bundle that interacts with the pituitary axes ... as vapors in the psyche of those entangled with it?

It remains fuzzy to those that don't want to know and hum about it in a round about way!

There is a distinct unknown connection!

Is it turning off the pancreas, though, or somehow increasing insulin resistance? The former makes more sense given how the virus affects other organs.
 
One thing I read suggested it may be due to the dexamethasone but shouldn't that be seen for it's other uses? It may play a factor but I don't think a few months of use should do that on it's own.
 
Yes I read about dexamethasone too. But that seems odd to me, unless it is something interacting with the virus. I mean dexamethasone is not a new med, people have taken it or versions of other steroids for decades.

just another interesting aspect of this virus. Similar to how many long term sufferers there are. When you compare to something like pneumonia or influenza

If we start on-line ordering and pick up, I will volunteer to shop and bag up orders. I like groceries, and grocery shopping. We have a policy that we will assist disabled customers, and we have a couple of blind/super limited vision people who come here to shop. They know the approximate layout of the store, and I was often picked to be the "shopper" with them because I seem to have almost infinite patience with elderly people, almost none with anyone younger than I, lol.

@BetteTheRed , as a daughter of a man who regularly used such assistants at the store, I thank-you. It allowed him to be independent, to talk to someone other than family, and well, just have a lovely time out. Knowing you, I can think what a gift you would be for someone like my Dad.

I heard further on this one, that they aren't sure if it is more correlation, rather than causation.
Many diabetes cases go undiagnosed for years and years.
Mine was diagnosed when I was undergoing other tests in prep for cancer treatment. Guaranteed, my type of cancer did not trigger diabetes.

The correlation was that due to the amount of testing being done for COVID tests, that their previously undiagnosed diabetes was being identified.

Diabetes is screened for fairly well as long as someone is getting proper healthcare.
 
@ChemGal -- you have no clue how many people do NOT go to doctor's, avoid them at all costs, and when they do , just go for emergency / symptom management.

Of course it is screened if you are taking care of yourself.
Go figure, sometimes folks with diabetes are people who avoid doctors.
Sometimes folks with other conditions, or who think they are healthy, avoid doctors. My spouse is one of them.

So, yes, if you go to the doctor, and if you get your blood tests done, then odds are it will be caught.
If you don't, it won't, until you are in a controlled space where bloodtests are being done.
 
Before two years ago, I had little need to visit the doctor. Prior to moving to GP, I had zero access to medical care unless it was an emergency for about two or three years. It's quite easy to have a lot of time between doctor's visits when you're essentially healthy.
