We learn and overcome in time, the real trouble is another incoming infection, and then another one...and all the folks laughing at me being the only one with mask on my job, or anywhere in fact.

PS Speaking of your partner's diabetes, Mike Greger (Nutritionfacts) has some tips; it is possibly 100% reversible!? Anyway I'm not expert - check this https://nutritionfacts.org/?s=diabetes

PPS

Was in similar situation for roughly ~4 months, what helped most is fixing my sleep (up to 7-8+ hours every night; this takes a bit of education and then some discipline), some quick(~10min) yoga nidra daily (it's very simple, nothing to learn - this also refreshes & compensates for some missong sleep) and 4-8000 units of vitamin D.

PS and of course pacing: learning what triggers "bad days" and in general moderating your mental/physical activity = split everything you do in smaller parts, at least halves, this includes meals[!] and even just googling/shitposting.

:dean-smile: Let's re-try, nothing to lose i guess.

'Morally I'm not so sure...' =)

Milošević's main problem was that he was a socialist and against USA (atop of depending on Russia/Yeltsin too much as it turned out), so everyone from the "free world" and every single nationalistic piece of shit (including quite a lot of "the left") from ex-Yu keep on spreadig the bullshit against him even today.

PS instead of him, Tony could put any, ANY president of the USA - but of course he didn't.

Kasparov was virtually created by Botvinnik - "a staunch communist" in K's own words; K himself greatly benefitted from (and wouldn't exist without) the "oppressive shithole"; K was a member of communist party for too long - IIRC he was one of the last liberals to leave it in early nineties(!) which, somehow, didn't stop him to play the role of "freedom fighter"- the image western media exploited to 110% in late 80s.

North Macedonia, former Macedonia - one of republics of Socialist Yugoslavia, ruled by Communist Party roughly from WW2 to 90s.

No, it does help with both mood and performance - many tested it and it works, which I can also confirm from years of personal experience; IIRC there are studies confirming it but I CBAed to re-check, simply since it works very well for me. It's basically rebranded Tumo breathing which is certainly not a scam, and it also helps with, say, cold showers and raises cold tolerance in general (one of basic things Tumo was designed for). IIRC it also raises dopamine, I did reading on it years ago and will check it again. People dying from it were doing it in bodies of water or driving or doing anything stupid that you don't want to "do" potentially unconscious, since then there are disclaimers about that everywhere including the original WH site.

Of course I didn't just "trust" him but did a lot of reading - I was especially interested in what doctors/PhDs/studies have to say, besides testing it myself in many ways. It was years ago and I remember studies on immunity having mixed results and it all being in an early phase, the reason I used "is supposed to" and "for what it's worth". Anyway thanks for the links - I will check both carefully!

An interesting and controversial opinion on Karabakh situation:

"The UN Security Council meeting on Karabakh, initiated by France, predictably ended in nothing since everything was already over. However, even so an interesting moment arose.

The Armenian Foreign Minister in his speech called for the deployment of UN peacekeepers to the region, without once mentioning Russian peacekeepers.

Pashinyan will now be able to solve two main tasks: to finish off the former elite of Armenia within the country, which brought it to it's current state, and - in the field of foreign policy - he simply must make the most of the situation to distance himself from Russia and replace it with other security guarantors.

The paradox of the situation is that Pashinyan’s power even strengthened after the fall of Karabakh, since now his opponents (the so-called Karabakh clan) have been defeated and a space for new solutions has opened up for him - now free of this insoluble conflict. "

Edit: here is a quick summary of it all, in just one image - https://news.am/uploads/images/000000/23/karabahskaya-bojnya-sorosa-i-ehrdogana.jpg

For what it's worth, I do a VimHof breathing session anytime I even slightly syspect any of the symptoms. It is supposed to raise dopamine and immunity - and has some good effects on mood and performance aside COVID. If you CBAed to do full three cycles, do one or two at least but the longer the better.

"Claims are circulating online that Finland is a Nazi country or supports Nazism due to..." historically supporting nazis while being nazi and fighting for nazis and using swastikas maybe!? :thinkin-lenin:
