      Make a top-level comment for a new story/topic. Discussions about the topic should be in the replies to the top-level comment. That way things stay organized and every main comment as you scroll down is a different piece of news.

      Prepper Chat Night is this Friday evening, Feb 16, on Discord at 6PM Pacific / 9PM Eastern. Join our Discord now at this link so you’ll be ready when the event starts:

      https://discord.gg/8ffgmVtb?event=1207591200463396934

      Prepper Chat Nights are on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of every month. It’s a (video optional) call where we mostly talk about our recent prepping experiences and lessons.

      Note: The Friday chats aren’t the only reason to join Discord. While the website remains the better place for guides, articles, and experience reports, Discord really shines for conversation or helping someone through an immediate situation. The two work well together, and I use both every day.

      How long COVID can destroy your ability to exercise

      A common symptom of long COVID, post-exertional malaise (PEM), causes people to feel sick after exercising. A healthy person expects to hit the wall after intense exercise, but someone with PEM might hit the wall after light exercise such as walking or brushing teeth. Causes include reduced metabolic capacity, inability to repair damaged muscles, and reduced slow-twitch muscle mass.
