Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

OT: today the respiratory illness I've had for five days tested positive for Covid the first time just now.
My symptoms are fairly mild, probably because I reinforced my vaccine three months ago. But I'm trying to learn more about these recent "swallowing razors" variants and dang! the online situation is bad. Finding reliable medical information in the post-slop, post-Trump Internet is a nightmare.
Have a quick recovery! It sucks that society has collectively given up on trying to mitigate its spread.
Get well soon, yeah, I follow some people on bsky who have different opinions on Covid, and even there it is bad. (Doesn't help than the one real expert I follow who mentions that 'Covid is over' (to massively oversimplify his points) treats any concern that it isn't over as if people are antivaxxers and anti science, I don't want to get involved, but several times I was close to replying 'you are quite strawmanning their position and reading things into what they are saying which they are not' but that would just get me blocked/called a covid truther or something so why bother).
