| Arsanerit | I am happy. because I have two appointments for a vaccination against Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19). | 20:38 |
| de-facto | Arsanerit, congratz :) | 20:39 |
| de-facto | eat extra healthy and ensure regular sleep, completely cancel any alcohol or anything that may keep the liver busy | 20:41 |
| de-facto | also maybe take broad spectrum supplements in order to reduce probability of any unknown deficiency | 20:42 |
| Arsanerit | Does eating extra healthy and getting regular sleep improve the effectivity of the vaccine? The appointment is on a Sunday morning at 08:00. Normally I'm still sleeping at that time, so getting plenty of sleep may be a challenge. | 20:42 |
| Arsanerit | I sleep regularly on most nights, though. | 20:42 |
| de-facto | yes i think i read that insomnia can reduce efficiency by quite some two digit percentages in some cases | 20:42 |
| de-facto | the better the condition of your body when you receive the vaccine the more immunity will develop (at least in a probabilistic model) | 20:43 |
| de-facto | alcohol or anything causing free radicals may be very harmful | 20:44 |
| de-facto | to the immunity developing i mean | 20:44 |
| de-facto | .title https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanres/article/PIIS2213-2600(21)00126-0/fulltext | 20:47 |
| Brainstorm | de-facto: From www.thelancet.com: The Lancet | The best science for better lives | 20:47 |
| de-facto | "For instance, 10 days after vaccination against the seasonal influenza virus (1996–97), IgG antibody titres in individuals who were immunised after four consecutive nights of sleep restricted to 4 h were less than half of those measured in individuals without such sleep deficits." | 20:48 |
| de-facto | thats quite a lot i gues | 20:48 |
| de-facto | *I guess | 20:48 |
| de-facto | "Since the immune system exhibits marked circadian rhythmicity, the timing of vaccination might also affect the immune response to COVID-19 vaccines. For instance, one study found that administering hepatitis A and influenza vaccines in the morning instead of the afternoon results in an almost twofold higher antibody titre 4 weeks later, an effect only seen in men. Thus, it is possible that administering COVID-19 vaccines in the morning | 20:51 |
| de-facto | might result in higher antibody titres." | 20:51 |
| de-facto | thats interesting i did not know that yet | 20:51 |
| de-facto | note their conditional tense though, its a conjecture | 20:52 |
| de-facto | not sure about sports, i guess one should not do anything more than regular? | 20:53 |
| de-facto | maybe less if exhausted and sleep more? | 20:54 |
| de-facto | would be interesting to hear the opinion of an immunologist about this | 20:54 |
| de-facto | and food is self explanatory, any deficit could restrict immune system cells to do what their function is supposed to contribute to developing long lasting high levels of immunity | 20:56 |
| de-facto | Arsanerit, then go to bed early and wake up tomorrow already at same time as you would have to on Sunday | 20:57 |

| Arsanerit | Why isn't the vaccination centre giving me the advice you are giving me? | 21:21 |
| de-facto | its not only enough sleep its also the regular periodicity as metabolism profits from always the same time pattern, so if you have 10 days you perfectly can adjust it to that timeslot there | 21:22 |
| Arsanerit | Yes, I can. It's not radically earlier than I'm used to on weekdays. | 21:22 |
| de-facto | i am not sure if its established consensus yet, but i think it would not hurt to assume there are such effects | 21:23 |
| de-facto | it its in 10 days maybe you even could go to pharmacy and buy something like zentrum a-z | 21:24 |
| Arsanerit | It can never hurt to eat and sleep well, and I never drink alcohol anywa.y | 21:24 |
| de-facto | perfect than you probably already are in good shape | 21:24 |
| Arsanerit | I'm not sure about taking supplements based on either advice on IRC or self-medication online, but I do intend to continue eating well and continuing my regular sleep pattern. I usually sleep around 00:30 - 07:30, I can make that 23:30 - 07:00 the nights before I get the vaccine. | 21:26 |
| de-facto | yup sounds like a plan, i just was mentioning it as option of course | 21:27 |

| ryouma | i would be cautious about circadian effects. there is variation, such as night owls and morning larks. you might be fighting your natural rhythm. there are also non-24h, phase delay, reversed phase, hypersomnia, sleep-onset latency, nocturia, and more. imo there need to be blood tests and also studies. | 23:07 |

| IndoAnon | de-facto: That... | 23:32 |
| IndoAnon | Is a better way handling this than passenger flight and mass testing | 23:32 |
| IndoAnon | I can attest that mass testing is problematic during 60-80% peak | 23:33 |
| ryouma | if the ip outcome is different from what the us claims to want, i'd like to see investigative reporters find out if it was theater with pre-determined outcome | 23:33 |
| IndoAnon | Too much people, not much of space | 23:34 |
| IndoAnon | hmm, and i have to call my fren about that.. | 23:35 |
| IndoAnon | kimia farma | 23:35 |
| Arsanerit | How would a waiver be decided? Does there need to be unanimity, or can Germany be overruled? There are elections coming up in Germany and the conservative party wants/needs backing from its friends in industry. | 23:36 |

| rpifan | big corporaticracy | 23:39 |
| rpifan | the more i learn the less i like it | 23:39 |
| IndoAnon | de-facto: It's truly scandalous. We more or less trust corp. with a face... But, people won't trust them from now on for testing | 23:40 |
| rpifan | well do you think the greens have any chance? | 23:41 |
| IndoAnon | Yeah, i think all the german on the net that I have met, from far right to far left, detest merkel | 23:41 |
| LjL | it isn't *only* far right and far left bt any chance? | 23:42 |
| LjL | (not even sure anything else exists these days) | 23:42 |
| ryouma | the us in practice has 2 parties. does germany do it like that or do the bigger parties have to form coalitions with less popular parties? | 23:43 |
| LjL | there are coalitions | 23:43 |
| ryouma | does that reduce extremism? | 23:44 |
| LjL | i dunno | 23:44 |
| ryouma | (r increazs it) | 23:44 |
| LjL | i think the US system reduces actual choice | 23:44 |
| LjL | that difference may be orthogonal to extremism | 23:44 |
| LjL | or related in a way i'm not sure of | 23:44 |
| IndoAnon | LjL: Yes, from those antifa, to hippie archtype, to regular dudes, to those on /pol/ | 23:44 |
| de-facto | yeah with recycling cotton swabs they not only endanger those that were negative and tested, also a lot of people wont trust testing | 23:45 |

| Arsanerit | The far left is tiny in Germany. | 23:47 |
| de-facto | people will be scared getting tested and wont trust positive results, can you imagine any more damage they could casue? | 23:47 |
| rpifan | all i can tell you is germany is a total failure | 23:47 |
| rpifan | despite what you may think | 23:47 |
| de-facto | that is outright criminal of them, actually maybe even beyond, they are saboteurs | 23:47 |
| IndoAnon | Do anyone remember about Sweden scandal? where all the lab give negative results? | 23:47 |
| Arsanerit | What would "beyond criminal" be? | 23:47 |
| Arsanerit | I emigrated to Germany twice. I like it here. | 23:48 |
| de-facto | what i meant is that their personal profit is the most irrelevant thing about all of this | 23:48 |
| IndoAnon | s/all the lab give/ the lab give all | 23:48 |
| IndoAnon | Concessions | 23:48 |
| rpifan | you must be in a very small niche of societ then | 23:48 |
| Arsanerit | The houses are warm, bright, and relatively affordable. There is plenty of forest and public administration is bureaucratic, but not a total mess. | 23:49 |
| rpifan | id say that opposite | 23:49 |
| Arsanerit | The infrastructure is pretty good and train tickets are cheap. | 23:49 |
| IndoAnon | The food is cheap, yeah... but other stuff? so-so | 23:49 |
| Arsanerit | My rent here is only €10/m²/month and for that I'm right in the centre of a city. | 23:50 |
| Arsanerit | Yet due to compact housing, I'm only 1 km from the forest. | 23:50 |
| Arsanerit | The forests are some of the best managed in the world (although struggling with climate change and other problems). | 23:50 |
| Arsanerit | The politics is not run by childish loonies. | 23:51 |
| Arsanerit | I don't agree with Merkel politically, but I think she is generally quite competent. | 23:51 |
| LjL | unless it's somewhat directly related to COVID, can we keep "this country is absolute trash" sort of stuff to, i dunno, ##coronavirus-vox if it's welcomed there, or elsewhere? | 23:52 |
| Arsanerit | I will stop now. | 23:52 |
| IndoAnon | Before that, I still think that total lockdown has terrific long-term disadvantages... | 23:53 |
| ryouma | it is relevant to long covid that the germans have policies against certain disease populations and that could transfer over to long covid. and the history of those policies is potentially ... something germany has been known for. | 23:53 |
| ryouma | it can depend on teh state but also the medical association | 23:54 |
| IndoAnon | Well, maybe they should reason why curfew is beneficial... | 23:56 |
| rpifan | i wish we had a longer lockdwon | 23:56 |
| rpifan | speaking of which has the curfew been working? | 23:56 |
| rpifan | r our numbers down? | 23:56 |
| IndoAnon | i think it lower the infection a bit, but not by much | 23:57 |
| LjL | ryouma, yes, i'm sure anything political can *somehow* be tied to COVID, but i just don't think i'm comfortable with blanket-bashing of countries | 23:57 |
| Arsanerit | German numbers are going down. | 23:57 |
| ryouma | LjL: is what i said on topic or off topic | 23:58 |
| ryouma | what i said was not meant to amplify or be related to the other comments | 23:59 |
| LjL | there is no hard line on what's on-topic in this channel but if you really need to know what bothered me it was a couple of comments by rpifan which sort of spawned this discussion | 23:59 |
