It’s not fuck today stuff, but relevant to the discussion

There’s also this from the other game tonight.

Does not want to seem to play for me (got a “this video not available in your location” message?), but I’ll assume it was a heartfelt message for Eriksen…

Romelu Lukaku scored against Russia and ran up to the camera and shouted “Chris, Chris, I love you”.
If you weren’t crying first one the replay probably set you off.

Great. Now we’ve got covidiots claiming that Christian Eriksen collapsed because of a covid vaccine, which he hasn’t had because he isn’t in the right age range to get it yet.
I’m fucking tired of this world and people hijacking tragedies for their conspiracy theories.

This might be anecdotal, but when a friend of mine collapsed and was taken into hospital with PE, I was in no state to do the most basic of things even after they told me that they were responding well to treatment.
The result last night shows that Denmark were not doing well mentally, and I still think it should have been delayed for at least a day. UEFA have a previous record of forcing matches to go ahead (like Borussia Dortmund after their team bus was bombed, admittedly that match was delayed for a day but the team still weren’t happy about playing) so I remain suspicious.

I will say that we’re dealing with a major emergency right now in our close circle, and the responses are all over the map, including the person’s adult daughter who is literally cleaning my house right now because she needs to keep busy.
Still, I agree that it’s much more likely any response the team gave in the immediate aftermath should be filed under ‘in shock and not thinking rationally’.

Well they seem to have been offered the option of today or yesterday which are not great options

UEFA is a horrible, horrible organization, and I think the game should have been postponed (there’s slack built into the schedule for exactly this kind of thing), but I’m inclined not to cloud what is already a dreadful event with speculation. (I’m a Spurs fan, the Spurs fan community is full of wild rumours about this, and it is pretty ugly.) If there was coercion, it will eventually come out.
Eriksen was the best player at Spurs when they had him, one of the most creative players in the League, and I think the recent move to Inter actually improved him. If he has to leave football, as happened in the similar case of Fabrice Muamba, the sport will be the worse for it. That said, we can all be happy that he now seems to be doing well.
(ETA: Today the Denmark coach expressed regrets that they chose to play on.)

PFOAs are one of my huge soapbox issues.
Basic Information on PFAS | Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) | US EPA.
Important to note that these are not definitive studies, mice are not humans and human studies are lacking. It is (imho) sufficiently suggestive that we should be looking for alternatives, like cast iron instead of Teflon. Just more evidence of making our world uninhabitable for humans.

Update on this (and thank you for the ideas and support). It was pretty depressing to learn how few resources are available for housed adults without young children in the home. I understand their resources are stretched thin and they need to prioritize, that’s part of the depressing part.
Social services already had the neighbor on their roster and are trying to help with medications. Seems she’s been aggressive with them, so it’s kind of tricky deciding whether to send people over (or finding people who will go).
She still shouts a lot but seems to have lost interest in me personally.
ETA: oops, sorry, didn’t mean to reply to you personally, but the thanks are real.

Related to this, ironically:
I was actually unaware that PFOA’s were used in fire fighting foams as well. Great, exposure in vast quantities. “But we cleaned it up!” somehow just does not seem to be realistic.
Foams containing PFAS typically are used to extinguish highly flammable or combustible fires involving gas tankers and oil refineries, EPA said in a statement. Wilson said he ordered the company to switch to another type of foam that didn’t have PFAS after regulators informed him that PFAS-containing foam was being used.

You’ve got more faith in humanity than me. But, I do hope you’re right.
