It is worth noting, that Simone - in the video, says Dianna is not informed that they are asking for help. And that she (Simone) is looking forward to the day when Dianna is strong enough to be pissed at her about it.

I assume that the patreon is to cover loss of income, health costs which are not covered by insurance, and to support her husband who is caring for her.

Is it known if Diana was waxed and/or boosted? I was fully up to date when I got my first covid and it still took a serious toll on me. Hope she recovers :(

According to a CBS Colorado, she was boosted (they also recommend getting the vaccine and boosters to avoid getting COVID in the first place).

Wow. Worth noting that Simone [1] had some serious health challenges of her own not too long ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x5XRQ07sjU Something about being a female STEM YouTuber... :-( --- [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simone_Giertz

Hopefully firmly in the had serious health challenges category.

If you don’t know her videos, I think Simone produces some of the greatest content on youtube. Deeply authentic, highly skilled, with a really funny subtext of knowing absurdist humor to them. Really great content.

This article sounds like it was written by a 9 year old

Let’s please not result to attacking the tone of the article. The data is probably not wrong. It’s probably taken out of context though. But you can get the same issues from contracting COVID. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7035e5.htm Which looks like an order of magnitude greater from getting the real thing. I find people are really not good at considering other scenarios and ball parking risk. Or maybe th…

It's not the tone it's the typos and the overall composition that's bad.

Yeah, definitely this. My favorite:

Just the first 50 seconds are pure gold.

Mason Earle is a professional rock climber who also deals with this condition (since before Covid) and was featured on Death, Sex, and Money: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/deathsexmoney/episodes/...

How intensive rock climbing in terms of cardio load?

It seems that cardio health was the biggest contributor to not getting serious Covid, seems surprising that an athlete would get this.

Dang, that sucks.

I haven't watched the video, but just wanted to say my family has insurance (in USA), with $7,000 deductible & $14,000 out of pocket family maximum. That of course assumes that we won't get balance billed for whatever bureaucratic reason the medical provider comes up with. For example: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/02/28/1159786...

I believe the recent No Suprises Act no longer allows balance billing for emergency care or when an out-of-network provider is working at an in-network facility. https://www.consumerfinance.gov/ask-cfpb/what-is-a-surprise-...

True! It eliminated balance billing for almost everything except for land ambulances.

Got a $2,200 ambulance bill for taking my daughter 6 miles that was balance billed last year after insurance paid $600. Don’t know how land ambulances in particular managed to avoid being covered by the act, but just something to keep in mind if you have a non-critical injury and don’t need an ambulance.
