Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

While that is certainly true, I worry about the fact that almost nobody cares about getting Covid anymore. Long Covid is still a thing and can basically destroy your life, the risk of getting it not really decreasing with each infection (you are basically rolling the dice each time). There is also the fact that Covid infections decrease intelligence even if you didn't get long Covid.
Had it in 2022, dealt with issues well into 2023. I'm mostly good by now again but I certainly feel dumber and find it harder to concentrate.
I just had covid last week. Slight fever for a day, 2 days tired and I was fine and negative by Friday, yay!
As per protocols I went back to work next monday and fuck me, I can't focus, I am beyond tired, I can't sleep well, my sleep cycles are all messed up out of nowhere, and I literally feel like I'm high all the time even though I'm not. I'm still sure it will fade over time but it's unnerving
I had a similar thing, like brain fog for a week or two after the illness. A bit unnerving for sure. I hope it passes soon for you.
I noticed I have forgotten a lot of words. Just random words for things I'd talk about..
A literal quote from 2 days ago. I can't wait for this fog to lift.
covid is actually on the rise again, a summer bump like last year. https://www.kuow.org/stories/covid-is-back-just-in-time-for-your-summer-vacation-washington-seattle
