LjLI am okay23:41
wakeupI could only eat sweet things23:42
wakeupI couldn't bear the smell of vinegar23:42
LjLMuch nausea?23:42
LjLDid your sense of smell change?23:42

LjL-MatrixIt's so good it even shows microG :p23:48
LjLwakeup: no23:49
LjLAt least not that I know. I've had nausea for a while which worries me but I'm pretty sure it's not covid...23:50
wakeupthe weirds thing about covid is that people have different symptoms23:50
wakeupwell, I guess this happens with other diseases too23:50
wakeupe.g. with AIDS you have different symptons too23:51
wakeupoverall, I prefer to have covid than AIDS -__-23:51
LjLYes that's an easy choice23:53
LjLBut I'd strongly prefer to have neither23:54
xxAIDS at least has 100% effective treatment23:55
wakeupno, why do you 100% effective? nah23:55
wakeup*say23:56
wakeupthe treatment can slow it down23:57
LjLxx: HIV might be what you're thinking about23:57
LjLAIDS is usually fatal23:57
wakeupbut I think most people eventually die23:57
LjL(And also it's not 100% effective anyway)23:57
xxLjL: yeah I group HIV/AIDS together23:57
wakeupbasically, AIDS attacks your immune system, which, if correctly working, protects you against many other diseases, which would otherwise (with AIDS) occur23:58
wakeupespecially cancers23:58
wakeupactually, it's HIV that attakcs your immune system23:59
wakeupAIDS is the condition or disease23:59
