Coronavirus (Covid-19) Discussion

I was thinking the same earlier. I like the Stok cold brew they have in the grocery store. I can chug an entire bottle in about fifteen minutes.

[Paul9221]

Well, you guys talked me into it!  I'm having my first cup in 1.5 weeks.  1/4 caff.  I think this amount of caffeine will prevent me from getting too anxious.  Cheers!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Lmao I'm so sorry @Paul9221

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Just in case this stuff works amazing @Paul9221

[Paul9221]

Ha!  I think I'll be okay.  I've got some prescription Pepcid if it all goes to hell

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Did you enjoy the coffee? I hope it was excellent.

[Paul9221]

@Filthy:

It's good!  Unfortunately, I had to drink it during a meeting so I wasn't able to fully appreciate it, but it's good to have coffee again (I think…)

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I'm sure you'll be fine

@mclaincausey:

Regarding sensitivity to acid and coffee, cold brew is less acidic (and for that reason, often less flavorful IMO). It is a good option for people with GERD or other issues with acidity.

I totally missed this yesterday, sorry about that!

Thanks for the tip!  I occasionally drink these BOSS Japanese cold coffees in cans.  They're GREAT!  But they're usually too caffeinated for me.  When I drink coffee, I tend to make it mostly decaf, because I'm anxious enough already

I guess I could look into making my own decaf cold brew.  That's a thought!

Found this on Reddit this morning.  Relevant:

Second shot scheduled for tomorrow.  Hope we are nearing the end of this roller coaster and life can go back to some kind of normalcy.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Godspeed @goosehd I hope it goes well.

@Paul9221 lmao

Is it really over….  The covid..

U.K going back to normal life now  ???

UK: 32,000 cases - we'll unlock next week.

NSW, Australia: 100 cases - close everything!

Second shot of Moderna last week, bit like being hit by a truck!  Energy levels just starting to be back to normal. Not had a drink for two weeks 

[mclaincausey]

My Moderna experience:

• shot 1: I didn't think anything had happened until 72 hours later when I finally figured out the… GI symptom that I had was not from something I ate

• shot 2: I was worthless for 24 hours. Extreme fatigue and sort of a flu-like queasiness

I have a high degree of confidence in and respect for these mRNA vaccines. Pretty fucking stupid that we have this windfall of protection in the USA that so many are not taking advantage of. We have some really self- (and else-) destructive nutjobs here.

Got my second blast of moderna in a couple of weeks. You guys have got me real excited for that  :-\

It's funny you mention the GI stuff, I had the same thing!  I also figured it was related to me breaking the diet during vaccine recovery!

I understand people being nervous about the vaccines. I was too. Heck, every time I hear about some new rare side effect, I start to freak out!  I just trust that God's gonna do what He's gonna do and it's for the best.

…amen @Paul9221!

[Jett129]

I was nervous about it as well,but in the end decided I’d rather wrestle with the vaccine than the virus.
