Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related@lemmy.world•Long Fatigue: The exhaustion that lingers after an infectionEnglish
3·1 year agoIt is, but the article seems to conflate post-viral fatigue with long-term fatigue in the grouping:
Post-viral fatigue has long been poorly understood, and for many years was often dismissed as psychological. But this long-term fatigue with varying degrees of severity has been linked to infections ranging from Sars to Ebola, Epstein-Barr virus and influenza, as well as infections with tick-borne pathogens such as the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease.

News@lemmy.world•Conspiracy theorists and vaccine skeptics have a new target: geoengineeringEnglish
6·1 year agoYep and as recent as 2014:
The national campaign to ban geoengineering can be traced back to Rhode Island in 2014, when a lawmaker looked to the sky and saw a conspiracy.
…
Ms. MacBeth’s beliefs are better known as the “chemtrails” conspiracy theory, which posits that airplanes are secretly emitting dangerous chemical trails, as opposed to water vapor naturally released as condensation from planes’ engines, which turns to visible trails of ice crystals in the cold air. There is no evidence supporting the chemtrails theory, which has attracted many followers through social media.

News@lemmy.world•Gen Z boys and men more likely than baby boomers to believe feminism harmful, says pollEnglish
0·2 years agoLooks like this was an online poll where you get paid if randomly selected:
Ipsos UK interviewed online a representative sample of 3,716 adults aged 16+ across the United Kingdom between 17 and 23 August 2023. This data has been collected by Ipsos’s UK KnowledgePanel, an online random probability panel…
For what it’s worth, there’s a recent Gallup survey showing a similar trend that published a couple weeks ago:
…Since 2014, women between the ages of 18 and 29 have steadily become more liberal each year, while young men have not. Today, female Gen Zers are more likely than their male counterparts to vote, care more about political issues, and participate in social movements and protests.

Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related@lemmy.world•How Much Vitamin D Do You Need to Stay Healthy?English
1·2 years agoThat’s a good point. The article mentioned needing only 3-8 minutes with 25% skin exposed to get enough vitamin D in Boston. I wonder how much you’d need in places with less sunlight.
…It turns out that you don’t need high doses of sun to get sufficient vitamin D. A 2010 study calculated that between April and October, someone in Boston with 25 percent of their skin exposed would need between three and eight minutes of sunlight per day to get enough. Of course, in the winter it might be challenging to find even this amount of sun at some latitudes.
Literally what he did in the next paragraph:
