Went to the gym 3 times a week, cycled 25k every weekday, ran on the weekends. Now I can only walk, after covid, which I got in early March. I'm hoping to try jogging again at some stage, after CT scans on my lungs, but I think it's a bit of a pipe dream. After 5 months the daily nausea has stopped. No prior conditions. Early 40s. edit: can't think of another site on the internet you'd get downvoted for the above, HN is really something

  That's untrue, of course. But why don't you supply links so readers can make up their own minds? When people post linkless claims like this, usually they're omitting some important aspect of the story.

  I can assure you as someone strongly critical of Libertarian theology and vocally so on HN this is not the case. Yes, there are occasional negative responses. Much positive as well.

re: the downvotes: Honestly I believe that HN is being brigaded by libertarians and /thedonald types. It's become really vehemently political and awful lately. Something's going on. Every comment that mentions this is removed, so there's that. The mods don't seem to care, or have an agenda from Thiel.

  i mean, it's ridiculous that an article on gyms is on the front page of a hacker news site. it's so far from the original vision. it used to be you'd come to HN to hear about the latest tech news and discuss software, startups and gadgets. now it's just bloviated non-tech related articles like this that just stoke up comment flame wars. what a fall from grace.
