I walk. It's the only moronically repetitive thing (exercise) I can stand doing so far. I'm looking for a sea kayak so I can go down to the Hood canal and work on my upper body that way. I went on a 64 mile canoe trip in the Boys Scouts so I'm quite comfortable in manually powered water craft.
My neighbor's been doing my shopping and most all of it is fresh fruits and vegetables. I'm having a salad almost every day... rarely used to do that in the winter months because my home grown tomatoes come in late July to Oct. or Nov.
My knee started hurting last spring from my running up and down stairs 30 times in a row with heart rate monitor on (2x/day), so bought a bike trainer to which I mounted my road bike. Then I decided I wanted to be able to ride without taking my bike down the stairs (hassle), so I shopped and guys in the Health and Fitness forum turned me onto the Concept2 Model D Rowing machine. Had to get in line, but @Viper GTS helped me out and let me know when I could snag one online and I grabbed it. I'm going to row today 'cause of the rain. It's a really professional piece of gym equipment and reasonably priced and super well made. I prefer skating because it works my core, but rowing is better than any indoor bike affair I believe. Outdoor too, probably.
I have more than one plastic bag stuffed with peeled ripe bananas in the freezer. I'll take a couple of them, chop in 1" pieces, toss in a blender with a handful of frozen blueberries, pour in some kefir (that I make from dried kefir starter I buy online), or even just milk. Spin to a froth and enjoy with a super wide straw.
It's actually getting warm enough here to skate outside, I'm pretty excited as I barely got to use my new skates last year. I've been using my bike on a trainer in my garage throughout winter but that gets pretty boring, I need to throw my trail tire on my spare rim so I can hit the forest preserve by me when I can.
I cleaned the bearings in my quad skate wheels today, lubed them, reinserted them in the cleaned wheels and rotated the wheels... I'm ready when the weather is, which is probably tomorrow!
Lived in Groton for 6 years so I'm kind of familiar with the LI Sound environment. Someday I will return to see the OZ they built out in what was nothing but country before I left there. Both Mohican and Foxwoods.Hence the joke about the fancy laundry-rack!
I also walk when it's decent outside... I'd love to get a kayak too believe it or not New Haven actually has some really nice places to paddle around.
Everybody who hasn't developed an immune response (exposed or vaccinated) is at risk. If you're young, statistically less so, but at risk. Viral dose is an important factor. If you get a large, particularly I would think, a huge dose, you could succumb quickly. And the young don't seem to be particularly safe from long-covid. All this is not to mention the fact that if you contract covid, doesn't matter how old you are, you're likely to pass it on to almost 2 other people:

This I am aware of thanks. I tried the link but it is asking me to register and I am unfamiliar with that organization. The data however is clear, the risk of death drops rapidly below 50 years of age.Everybody who hasn't developed an immune response (exposed or vaccinated) is at risk.

Just How Much More Transmissible Is the New Coronavirus Variant?
British researchers come up with numbers

Thanks! I am a numbers guy and the video seems mostly anecdotal. I tracked this recent Bloomberg article down on the subject. The number of people still experiencing symptoms after 12 weeks is alarming. Hopefully with more research and awareness we can do a better job of supporting people suffering from this.

Actually it has an official NIH name. I saw a couple weeks ago on TV with Dr Fauci calling it:Thanks! I am a numbers guy and the video seems mostly anecdotal. I tracked this recent Bloomberg article down on the subject. The number of people still experiencing symptoms after 12 weeks is alarming. Hopefully with more research and awareness we can do a better job of supporting people suffering from this.
It seems like the medical professionals have labeled this Acute Covid Syndrome for anyone looking for more info. .
The Long Covid Picture Is Stark. Why?
More patients are seeking help for lingering effects of Covid like fatigue and brain fog. But there are limited resources and answers.

At 5 hours after my Moderna #2, I was starting to feel a little arm pain. That pain never got anywhere near as intense as after shot #1. Next day (after getting shot #1) I couldn't raise my arm over my head, couldn't sleep on my left side for a few days. Fever 20-30 hours post shot #2, then that went away. Really nothing to complain about. 9 days ago, I figure I'm pretty immune now but haven't changed my behaviors much... yet. I'm working on plans. First up, some B&M shopping I've put off.
Similar here. Day after after my Moderna #1, it left like I was slugged rather hard in that arm. Was happy to have a somewhat painful reminder that my body was building a defense. That lasted about two days.
