Re: Vaccine passports

For those of you that had Covid and had it rough do you have any health issues like obesity, diabetes or heart disease? Just asking because my family had it and we have a pretty healthy diet, healthy weight and exercise. Only tested bc we were exposed, no symptoms or issues. Waiting on the vaccine and hope to get j and j due to my laziness and no desire to go back for a second shot. Will get vaccine sooner than later if needed to travel. Don’t really care about going to a concert or game.
I had GD with both pregnancies so now I am Type 2. My DH doesn't have underlying conditions. We didn't have a severe case nor a mild case, it was moderate and lasted a full 2 weeks. We both eat well and up until I got sick I was exercising every single day but in the end, we ended up sick. Again, you just never know how your body will respond to the infection. I consider us lucky, it could have been worse.
Yes, being ‘healthy’ is not a guarantee u won’t get covid. But it’ll increase ur chances to fight the virus better. Key words...increase ur chances. And it’s not about eating kale and carrots, it’s more than that just choosing more nutritious food. It’s also about the stress of life (worrying, being upset, sad, anxious, etc, etc), constant higher levels of cortisol will lower our defenses. How we navigate the different seasons -more sunlight -less sunlight -conserving more energy during cold months even when choosing what we eat, the more we eat foods like raw vegetables or cold drinks like smoothies during the winter for example, the more energy our body will have to use to digest it. How much rest do we get. The environment in which we live. The microbiome in our body and when I say this I’m referring to not only healthy bacteria, but also other microorganisms that are outside our bodies and inside like yeast, viruses, and yes even parasites. There’s not one person that is not continuously exposed and have them within themselves. A balance of all these organisms (outside and inside) can help us as human beings to lessening symptomatic illness, or not getting sick at all. When this balance is disrupted by internal or external factors is when our defenses tend to go down, we need them as much as they need us. All of this is necessary but understandably sometimes we overextend ourselves and disrupt this balance by either overworking, lack of sleep, continuous negative feelings, eating too much processed food, too much sugar, etc, etc. and that’s when problems tend to happen.

Not arguing that America is full of unhealthy fatties and free donuts is ironic but the reality is genetics are the biggest indicator of how COVID affects any given individual. Should you eat a healthy diet and exercise? Of course. Will that potentially prevent some of the comorbidities that can put someone at a higher risk for severe illness? Possibly, if the reason for the comorbidity is donuts and cheeseburgers. Probably not if the reason is genetic.
I think everyone is putting too much stock in how diet effects this particular illness. Truth is, any one of us can get COVID and have no idea how sick we would end up.
Anyway, I’m fine with the passports and if someone doesn’t want to get vaccinated that’s their problem.
ITA with this, and this is why it was important to me to state that the diet/sugar/fast food convo that I participated in was a tangent.
Obviously eating healthy is important, for so many reasons, and we do have a problem in this country. But I don't want that convo to take away from what is really happening here - which is that we're still in a public health crisis that is sometimes killing and certainly harming, sometimes long term, people of all conditions.
Someone mentioned smokers and that "no one wants to talk about them" (I think it was VB?) What do you want to talk about? Is there data on smokers and their Covid experience? I feel like it might not come up because so few people smoke anymore.
I actually do know a smoker who got Covid (family member) and her experience was moderate although it's been a few months and her sense of taste and smell have yet to fully come back. But she's only one person - no idea what the broader experience is.

I don't disagree and I definitely think we should all live as balanced and healthy as possible but ultimately, it's still all a crap shoot. I truly believe that our health is primarily genetically driven and what we do in our environment plays a far smaller role than we think.

That was me about smoking and the majority of people I know that have quit cigarettes have gone over to Juling which they are saying is worse.

Vaccine passports
So back to the original passport question - it doesn’t even work correctly! I had a rapid PCR on Friday for a sinus infection and I didn’t get my “pass” until Monday which was the day it expired.
And today is 2 weeks after my last vaccination and it’s not popping up. I see the system causing a lot of headaches in the beginning.
