#54I went to high school with Dianna and was good friends with her older sis. They were both super genuine and truly wonderful people back then. I saw this on social media a few days ago from mutual friends, it's really sad to hear how much she's been impacted. Really heartening to see this community cares too. I've seen a lot of go-fund-me grift over the years and am usually an extremely skeptical person, but if Dianna's family is asking for support fwiw I believe that means they really do need it and likely don't have any other options.

#55Tl;Dw - Physics Girl, a popular science education YouTuber, is on an indefinite hiatus due to complications from long COVID resulting in chronic fatigue. The video has a lot more detail about the severity of her condition and her husband's efforts to care for her. Her friends are asking people to consider subscribing to her Patreon.
which is here: https://www.patreon.com/physicsgirl
She has almost 9000 patrons, and is an already successful Youtuber / e-celebrity. I'm sorry for what's happened to her, but I sincerely think charity is better directed elsewhere (for example, a local org that helps disadvantaged families receive healthcare/resources).

#56Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.

#57Wow. 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
Cara Santa Maria also had a cancer run in last year[0]. It seems is was caught about as early as possible and she'll be fine, but still a bit bizarre. I've also personally known 3 women who got kidney cancer in the last 2 years. One was in her late 30's and died within weeks of diagnosis. One had a kidney removed and so far is doing fine, and the last will die of it within months.

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.
Yes. Absolutely. One of my favorites is this video that shows a robot she built to argue with people on the Internet Hacker News. (7 seconds)

#60Mason 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.
He developed ME/CFS in 2018 without a known cause (to the best of my knowledge).
