@wabafee @silence7 the current pandemic never ended and SARS-CoV-2 doesn't appear to clear the body. We have no idea how that will end:

@UraniumBlazer @Nonameuser678 56 grams of protein from all sources. There is protein in almost everything you eat, and it combines to reach that goal. You don't have to get all 56 grams from just lentils and beans

Also, it's rice or some other grain you want to pair with lentils to achieve a complete protein, not beans -- beans are legumes, and most legumes have a similar amino acid profile

@LillyPip @lntl remember this when people tell you covid is nothing to worry about

@Inky @nimnim sadly there is no such thing as mild covid, only mild symptoms. The underlying disease is always severe, and brings with it a significantly increased risk of cardiovascular events for months or years, even if vaccinated:

@notacat speaking of those -- there is evidence that SARS-CoV-2 sticks around and causes chronic T cell activation, and there are only so many naive T cells the thymus can supply before it shrinks (it normally shrinks with age)

This implies that all covid infections, even those that don't produce obvious long covid at first, may be prematurely aging the immune system
