@davidaugust raising my eyebrow because I am a daily coffee drinker, have had all my COVID vaccines and boosters only not having done this most recent one and I felt incredibly awful and miserable for a week when I finally got COVID last month

Ok, admittedly that coffee that my son made me every morning and left outside my door sure did make me feel a little better. But I went right back to sleep after I finished it. Lol.

@NerdRage42 sleep and rest is good for that, glad you could rest.

Yeah, no matter how many countermeasures we use, viruses are still very good at what they do.

Hope your recovery was fast and full.

@davidaugust mostly recovered in the energy department. But I've been getting migraines in the middle of the night every so often and have had a hard time sleeping.

David August

@NerdRage42 Oh, that's not fun. Hoping those will abate, wishing you restful sleep.

@davidaugust sleep and then coffee in the mornings. This was what my son made for me that first morning.

@davidaugust I was gifted a nice Saeco Vienna Plus espresso machine years ago and a guy helped me adjust the gears and it pulls great shots. That thing has helped me immensely. Even more so when Starbucks union-busted my location where my friends all worked.

@NerdRage42 oh that’s so cool. Sounds like it’s been nice to have the machine, and (I just thought of this so please forgive its silly) to rage against the machine with it. ☕️✊

@NerdRage42 @davidaugust Also, the page states that they only tested 64 individuals over TWO days. Minus the control group that only drank water, it might have been maybe 40 individuals. That is a very small group and a very short time. I think it's best not to jump to conclusions. Apparently, this is also not the first study "finding" this connection: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/

@Lilimapute @davidaugust oh yeah. I missed that. See, these sample sizes are so small and then they're reported on like it's a huge breakthrough. I mean, I'd love to have said coffee saved my life. 🤣

David August

@NerdRage42 @Lilimapute Thank you for sharing that!

And nothing wrong with waiting more than 3 days for things to get peer reviewed too. 😉

If a sample size bears out statistically sound notable results, study sizes do not need to conform to our preference for higher numbers.

That's a big if, yes. This study may not satisfy it, but we don't need to discount a study based on a participant number we don't _feel_ like is big enough either.
