The Boomers discover the downside of sex, drugs, the Beatles, gluttony, drunkenness, and destroying American civilization. Pity the poor things. They went to the moon!

Baby boomers are more likely to live with numerous chronic health conditions than earlier generations, according to new research from Penn State and Texas State University.

Study authors warn that the growing rate of multiple chronic health conditions (multimorbidity) among older Americans represents a real health threat to the nation. If it continues, this trend will almost certainly place increased strain on the well-being of older adults, medical infrastructures, and federal insurance systems. On a related note, the amount of Americans over 65 is projected to increase by an astounding 50 percent by 2050.

Forget the demographic collapse, debt, war, abortion, all the hoaxes, and the rest of it! This is the great challenge of our times. We must find a solution! Paging Doctor Pillow.

Too Fat to Fly

Amerikans are now so fat that airplanes can’t get off the ground carrying them.

U.S. airlines may need to start weighing passengers in order to comply with FAA rules. For safety reasons, carriers need to calculate an aircraft’s weight and balance, and it has to be within allowable limits for the plane. However the assumptions they’ve been using for passengers are outdated. Americans are getting fatter, and the federal government wants airlines to find out how much fatter their passengers have gotten, at least for smaller aircraft.

If 30,000 HP can’t move your ass, it is too fat! A new day, a new low. The land of the free…

Masks are as Dangerous as the Deranged Idiots Pushing Them

We’ve known all of this. I feel like I beating a dead hoax here – except it’s not dead and it just won’t go away.

!Science! has known since around 1920 that facemasks DO NOT halt the transmission of viral illnesses. They also make the wearer look like a damned fool (which is usually a most appropriate look). Now, we have a CoronaHoax-specific study of these dangerous quasi-religious vestments: Facemasks in the COVID-19 era: A health hypothesis, Baruch Vainshelboim. Okay, we had this in November 2020, but beating the dead hoax again…

…

Emergency medicine demonstrates that 5–6 min of severe hypoxemia during cardiac arrest will cause brain death with extremely poor survival rates , , , . On the other hand, chronic mild or moderate hypoxemia and hypercapnia such as from wearing facemasks resulting in shifting to higher contribution of anaerobic energy metabolism, decrease in pH levels and increase in cells and blood acidity, toxicity, oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, immunosuppression and health deterioration , , , .

Efficacy of facemasks

The physical properties of medical and non-medical facemasks suggest that facemasks are ineffective to block viral particles due to their difference in scales , , . According to the current knowledge, the virus SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter of 60 nm to 140 nm [nanometers (billionth of a meter)] , , while medical and non-medical facemasks’ thread diameter ranges from 55 µm to 440 µm [micrometers (one millionth of a meter), which is more than 1000 times larger . Due to the difference in sizes between SARS-CoV-2 diameter and facemasks thread diameter (the virus is 1000 times smaller), SARS-CoV-2 can easily pass through any facemask .

…

You can’t breathe, you might die, you will suffer oxygen deprivation – but at least the virus will be okay… It’s like driving a truck down a wide, unobstructed road – no hindrance whatsoever. The virus with the 99.9% survival rate that most people don’t even know if they have it. The rebranded common cold and nothing more. A hoax. A war crime against humanity. Read the whole study. There are psychological maladies associated as well. People are doing this to themselves and to their kids. They’d like me to participate. I will not. You shouldn’t either.

Take the damned thing off. Burn it.

Rise of the Zombies

Life in the good old USSA is so great that one-third of USians make LARPING a zombie movie their hobby!

Here’s a pretty good reason to make sure you’re getting enough rest and relaxation in your life. More than a third of people are walking around with the same symptoms as concussion due to stress and lack of sleep, suggests a new study.

A survey of more than 31,000 people shows that insufficient sleep, mental health problems, and stress were the causes of a whole host of symptoms doctors are used to seeing in head injury patients. Symptoms of what doctors call post-concussion syndrome (PCS) range from persistent headaches, dizziness and anxiety, to insomnia and loss of concentration and memory.

While 27 percent of people report having several of these symptoms, between one-half and three-quarters say they experience at least one. The most common symptoms are fatigue, low energy and drowsiness. Yet despite their findings, researchers believe the number in the general population could be much higher.

To suggest that this lifestyle choice is somehow abnormal is just plain bigotry. I won’t stand for it. Of course, I won’t participate either – off for a nap now.

Hey! They embedded a question in a headline: Diet drinks linked to heart issues, study finds. Here’s what to do[?]

Drink water, even if it’s carbonated. Water is the perfect hydration for the human body, experts say. If it’s not your favorite beverage, try to add some sparkle.

Better than “sparkle,” try adding some coffee beans and heat. To that end, I will soon have a major, tasty announcement.

PS: Congrats to all who want to shed the weight. Phenylalanine ain’t the answer. 1) Eat less, 2) move more. 3) drink water, with or without coffee.

Authoritarian … at the Local Level!

That’s so much better, isn’t it? It is technically because some localities won’t play along with Dr. Fauci’s heavy-handed totalitarianism. Of course, next, he’ll recommend a national mask mandate.

“I don’t like to be authoritarian from the federal government, but at the local level, if governors and others essentially mandate the use of masks when you have an outbreak, I think that would be very important,” Fauci told Alabama Sen. Doug Jones during a Facebook live event in July.

Until now.

“Well, if people are not wearing masks, then maybe we should be mandating it,” Fauci told CNN’s Erin Burnett Friday.

Right. Mandate the masks that do nothing to stop the virus (which still hasn’t been identified, isolated, or sequenced, and which appears to be lowering total deaths in the US for 2020) while causing numerous health problems – some of them very serious like cancer or brain damage. The masks make you sick.

You may hear people saying that surgeons and nurses wear masks like this all day. Um, no. No they don’t. They’re trained in the proper use of masks, which is to wear them in the OR, then dispose of the mask when they leave that room. Are you aware that operating rooms are actually supplied extra oxygen, to compensate for the reduction in oxygen flow from mask wearing? To my mind, it’s criminal (not hyperbole) to force children to wear masks all day. Setting aside the very real psychological effects, we’re going to have a generation of brain damaged children. Ever heard the expression, “Not enough oxygen at birth?” That’s a joke at the expense of a mentally challenged person, but that’s literally what we’re doing. And we’re told it’s to “keep us safe”! We’re told this by doctors who actually don’t know about PPE and laypeople who have no clue.

We have more than enough brain damage as-is. Someone get Fauci some supplemental oxygen quickly!

Or, Just Eat Less

A study:

The study was published on April 20, 2020, in The Journal of Clinical Investigation.

According to Steven L. Teitelbaum, MD, the principal investigator of the study and Wilma and Roswell Messing Professor of Pathology & Immunology, their study has developed a proof of concept that it is possible to regulate weight gain by modulating the activity of the inflammatory cells.

He adds that it might work in several ways, but their team believed that it might be able to control obesity and its complications by managing inflammation better.

If this works, and if it’s marketed correctly, then in America the potential profits could be super-sized. O, the cheap, no wait approach: eat less, walk more.

For God’s Sake, Lose Weight!

The USA is the fattest nation in the world. We’re number one! We’re number one! It’s also the nation with the most COVID cases. We’re number one! We’re number one!

The two are linked.

Being overweight is a major risk for people infected with the new coronavirus and the United States is particularly vulnerable because of high obesity levels there, France’s chief epidemiologist said on Wednesday.

Professor Jean-François Delfraissy, who heads the scientific council that advises the government on the epidemic, said as many as 17 million of France’s 67 million citizens were seriously at risk from the coronavirus because of age, pre-existing illness or obesity.

The French are lightweights. They don’t even have freedom fries. 17 of 67 million? That’s only 25%. ‘Muricans are three times as fat as the frogs!

Eat. Less.

Walk.

Or. Die?

There are many that affect the COVID condition. Three of note:

Though severe coronavirus cases have been reported among younger and middle-aged adults, doctors say older adults, the elderly and those with chronic health conditions seem to be most at risk for the sudden decline.

Denson said nearly all of his most critically ill patients have a combination of three specific underlying medical problems: obesity, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.

Not good news for 40% of Americans.

Taxing Sidewalks for Obesity

Or some such nonsense. Communism is the only solution ever floated by our insane caste of elites and experts. It’s the go-to for “climate change”, and now for obesity.

Dietz faulted the government for not pushing for more measures to promote physical activity and better eating. Building more sidewalks and passing a national tax on sugary beverages could make a big difference, he said.

Taxes and sidewalks… Well, I guess the gubmit best act as there is absolutely nothing the individual can do to improve his own health. Case closed…

42% of US adults are obese, up from whenever the last survey was conducted (which was also up, etc, etc). Something like 70% of the public is overweight – meaning just too heavy. Obese means severely overweight. 10% of adults are grossly obese. That’s about 27 million people. What does that mean? Really, really severely overweight?

Once again, I propose two simple solutions that do not involve taxes: 1) eat less, 2) move around some. It occurs to me that, despite writing the same things for years, the problem keeps getting worse. I may, in the future, employ reverse psychology.
