I've been traveling throughout this pandemic and have 8 flights (connections a few times due to boi and cle travel) and im a little more sketched than usual. I wear a mask, don't eat or drink unless I am 6 feet away from others and wash hands and use the alcohol wipes before and after every flight. I've not had a problem yet, but all the news stories and anecdotes (none in my friend circle or family) are starting to worry me. Do you really think next week is going to be a covid spawning hell?

We have had about two dozen people we know get infected despite calling a low infection area home. They have ranged from 19 to 62 in age, about 1/2 have become symptomatic, 6 have died. Have beloved neighbors who aside fro. Grocery store haven’t left their house since March fighting the disease right now, one In hospital.

This scares the crap out of me without making me paranoid. We need those vaccines mandated and distributed to all ASAP even if there is a risk in rushing,

Just what is the manufacturing capacity of the planet if it focuses on one thing? We need to find out

I just logged in for open enrollment and see that my benefit costs are increasing quite a bit. Family of 4 - medical/dental/vision will be about $345/pay period plus whatever I contribute to my HSA. Is this the norm now or is this way too much? We are also on an income based rate plan and I recently crossed into the bottom of the most expensive tier so it’s an even bigger hit over the normal YoY increase.

Sad about the lack of activity here...maybe someday we will travel again

Is anyone on a low dose of Adderall or a similar stimulant, and do you find it helpful/effective?

When I was diagnosed (at 20 yo) I started on Adderall XR and my psychiatrist essentially took a “keep upping the dose until you feel side effects” approach, even though I still saw some benefits at a lower dose. I’m currently unmedicated and am somewhat hesitant to restart, but feel I could see some benefit and better stability with the help of medication.
