  • I had a friend during nurse training who divorced at 50, thought she was never going to be in another relationship, then met someone with whom she was happier than she ever imagined.

    It’s definitely possible.

    People can get married to the right person in their 20s or 30s, change into different people, split up and find that someone else is now the right person.

    You also get access to a much larger widow/widower market once you pass 50…












  • Okay, my original comment clearly came across as a weasel for COVID denial so sorry for that. Fuck denialism.

    What I meant was that - like flu - it is an endemic respiratory virus which will be nasty but not fatal to most people. In certain contexts masks are less useful (not useless I suppose), and this is particularly in areas where mask use is minimal and strict (e.g. under the nose or constantly being touched without proper hand hygiene).

    So what your cardiologist said could have been a realistic assessment of the current state of COVID, or denialism in which case they’re a dick.
