Things I've learned from getting covid for the first time in 2023

I wear an N95 in public spaces and I've managed to dodge it for a long time, but I finally got covid for the first time (to my knowledge) in mid-late November 2023. It was a weird experience especially because I feel like it used to be something everyone was talking about and sharing info on, so getting it for the first time now (when people generally seem averse to talking about covid) I found I needed to seek out a lot of info because I wasn't sure what to do. I put so much effort into prevention, I knew less about what to do when you have it. I'm experiencing a rebound right now so I'm currently isolating. So, I'm making a post in the hopes that if you get covid (it's pretty goddamn hard to avoid right now) this info will be helpful for you. It's a couple things I already knew and several things I learned. One part of it is based on my experience in Minnesota but some other states may have similar programs.

--------

The World Health Organization states you should isolate for 10 days from first having symptoms plus 3 days after the end of symptoms.

--------

At the time of my writing this post, in Minnesota, we have a test to treat program where you can call, report the result of your rapid test (no photo necessary) and be prescribed paxlovid over the phone to pick up from your pharmacy or have delivered to you. It is free and you do not need to have insurance. I found it by googling "Minnesota Test to Treat Covid"

--------

Paxlovid decreases the risk of hospitalization and death, but it's also been shown to decrease the risk of Long Covid. Long Covid can occur even from mild or asymptomatic infections.

--------

Covid rebound commonly occurs 2-8 days after apparent recovery. While many people associate Paxlovid with covid rebound, researchers say there is no strong evidence that Paxlovid causes covid rebound, and rebounds occur in infections that were not treated with Paxlovid as well. I knew rebounds could happen but did not know it could take 8 days. I had mine on day 7 and was completely surprised by it.

--------

If you start experiencing new symptoms or test positive again, the CDC states that you should start your isolation period again at day zero. Covid rebound is still contagious. Personally I'd suggest wearing a high quality respirator around folks for an additional 8-9 days after you start to test negative in case of a rebound.

--------

Positive results on a rapid test can be very faint, but even a very faint line is positive result. Make sure to look at your rapid test result under strong lighting. Also, false negatives are not uncommon. If you have symptoms but test negative taking multiple tests and trying different brands if you have them are not bad ideas. My ihealth tests picked up my covid, my binax now tests did not.

--------

EDIT: I'd highly suggest spending time with friends online if you can, I previously had a link to the NAMI warmline directory in this post but I've since been informed that NAMI is very much funded by pharmaceutical companies and lobbies for policies that take autonomy away from disabled folks, so I've taken that off of here! Sorry, I had no idea, the People's CDC listed them as a resource so I just assumed they were legit! Feel free to reply/reblog this with other warmlines/support resources if you know of them! And please reblog this version!

--------

I know that there is so much we can't control as individuals right now, and that's frightening. All we can do is try our best to reduce harm and to care for each other. I hope this info will be able to help folks.

💖 Day 3.5 is now available! 💖

For the last couple of months, only Server Boosters had access to the 3.5 update... Buuuuut now it's available for everyone to play in the 14DWY Discord — and soon itch.io once I'm happy with the QA and state of the game — so please don't feel pressured to join unless you want to!!

The full devlog + even more screenshots are under the cut ^^

What's been added to the 3.5 version?

📺 Streamer Mode!

I've been told that it's difficult to stream and monetise age-restricted videos on YouTube and Twitch, so I added an option to remove the sexual content and strong language used in the demo.

Now y'all can invite Ren into your bed for cuddles without putting your streamer career on the line /silly /lh

This won't affect the 18+ rating or dark themes/elements of the game, however! Although Streamer Mode will prevent you from seeing any "gruesome" CGs in the future, most of the core elements of the game will still be tied to the choices and decisions you make. So you won't miss out on the overall experience by using streamer mode!!

⚙️ Custom Pronouns!

It only took me one entire year to get around to it, but you can finally choose your own preferred pronouns (or use a set of pronouns instead)... At the cost of being able to change them mid-game ^^;

Since the original pronoun screen wouldn't update until a new scene was displayed, I temporarily disabled the feature. But once I find a workaround, I'll bring it back!

💗 Choose how others perceive you!

You can now choose how the cast and narration perceive you! Originally, the narration was kept strictly gender-neutral (outside of pronouns and genitalia picked by the player), but this will soon change in future updates.

For more clarity: you don't get to choose the words specifically, but you can choose between masculine, feminine, and androgynous terms!

📋 Separate top and bottom genitalia!

You can now choose your tatas and pps separately! >:3

Alongside that, you can also choose your preferred body type!

I removed the "both" genitalia option because a few players still assumed it was an obscure version of "intersex". That wasn't my intention and I don't want to mislead anyone, so I took it out for now ^^;

I also didn't want to include a screenshot of the new genitalia choices in action (because it's NSFW), so y'all get the same character menu screen for the nth time instead lmao

📱 Relationship Screen Overhaul!

You can now change your own status for more immersion, and long-term Server Boosters will eventually be able to submit and use their own icon within the game as well!

Stalking finding your friends has now become easier by using "Buddy Maps"; a new app that allows you to see the location of all the cast members!

I want to offer players more incentive to check the relationship screen since they tend to miss the status updates, so hopefully this might help ;v;

It also says it "updates every few hours" so folks don't go overboard and check every 5 seconds to see where Ren is gdsghf (also keep in mind that he's a hacker lol)

🖤 Additional Scenes Update!

Day 2 received a brand new CG!!!!! Originally, I planned on only adding a few CGs sporadically throughout the game, but it didn't feel right to leave Day 2 so... empty... so I added a brand new CG to (hopefully) make things feel more balanced and natural!

If you decline Teo's offer on Day 3, Leon will now call and try to convince you to reconsider. However, players are still allowed to decline, and if they do, they'll reach a dead end.

After listening to feedback on itch, I changed some of the dialogue during Days 1-3 to make it seem more consistent! They're only small changes though, so it's honestly not worth looking for sdgjssga

🎶 Updated BGM and SFX!

I wanted to try out a different style of music to see if it fits the vibe of 14DWY more! The BGM features more acoustics to suit the "beachy" theme of Corland Bay, though I made a conscious effort to include piano elements as well to stay true to the original!!

I figured it'd be better to give players a live example before I make a poll (to see if they prefer the change or not) and publish it to Itch.

Some new SFX have also been added, though it's very minimal and honestly not that noticeable.

How to download and play the update?

(warning: clicking on the following links will open Discord!!) To download the Day 3.5 update, simply join the 14DWY Discord server, verify your age, and visit the "14dwy-updates" channel!

Alternatively, you can also wait until the update is publicly released on Itch to play it as well!! (It normally gets released shortly after a round of QA testing/getting feedback from the server, though I may release it earlier if I feel like it hehe ^^)

Enjoy!!

The Role and Significance of Public Accounting

Public accounting is a cornerstone of the financial world, serving as the bedrock of transparency, trust, and accountability in business and public sectors alike. This field, often misunderstood or underappreciated by the general public, plays a critical role in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial reporting, which is essential for the smooth functioning of economies globally.

What is Public Accounting?

Public accounting refers to a branch of accounting where accountants and firms provide services to a wide range of clients, including corporations, governments, nonprofits, and individuals. Unlike private accountants, who typically work for a single organization, public accountants offer their expertise to multiple clients, often on a contract basis. The services they provide can be grouped into three main categories:

Auditing and Assurance Services: Audits are perhaps the most well-known service provided by public accountants. An audit involves examining a company’s financial statements to ensure they are accurate and comply with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This process is crucial for maintaining investor confidence, as it ensures that the financial statements presented by companies are reliable and free from material misstatements.

Tax Services: Public accountants also specialize in tax preparation and planning. They help individuals and organizations navigate the complex tax landscape, ensuring compliance with tax laws while also seeking opportunities for tax savings. This aspect of public accounting requires a deep understanding of the ever-changing tax codes and regulations.

Consulting and Advisory Services: Beyond audits and taxes, public accountants often act as advisors, helping businesses with a wide range of financial issues, including risk management, mergers and acquisitions, financial planning, and system implementations. Their objective, third-party perspective can provide valuable insights that help organizations make informed decisions.

The Importance of Public Accounting

Public accounting is integral to the global financial ecosystem for several reasons:

Promoting Transparency and Accountability: Public accountants play a critical role in ensuring that financial information is accurate and accessible. This transparency is vital for the functioning of capital markets, as investors and other stakeholders rely on audited financial statements to make informed decisions.

Maintaining Public Trust: By providing assurance that financial statements are free from material misstatement, public accountants help maintain public trust in financial institutions and markets. This trust is essential for the economy’s stability, as it encourages investment and economic growth.

Adapting to Change: The field of public accounting is constantly evolving, driven by changes in regulations, technology, and business practices. Public accountants must stay updated on these changes to provide relevant and accurate services. For instance, the increasing use of data analytics and artificial intelligence in auditing processes is revolutionizing the field, making audits more efficient and insightful.

Supporting Economic Development: Public accounting contributes to economic development by ensuring that businesses operate efficiently and comply with financial regulations. This compliance not only protects investors but also helps governments collect revenues that are vital for public services and infrastructure development.

Challenges in Public Accounting

Despite its importance, public accounting faces several challenges. The profession requires a high level of expertise and ethical standards, but it also demands long hours and the ability to keep up with complex and changing regulations. Additionally, public accountants must navigate conflicts of interest, as they are often hired and paid by the same companies they audit. This dual role has led to ongoing discussions about the need for greater independence in auditing.

Furthermore, the globalization of business has added complexity to the work of public accountants, who must now be familiar with international accounting standards and practices. This trend has also increased the need for public accountants to have a broader understanding of global markets and economies.

Conclusion

Public accounting is a vital profession that ensures the accuracy, transparency, and integrity of financial reporting across the globe. While it may not always be in the spotlight, the work of public accountants is foundational to the trust and confidence that underpin our financial systems. As the world continues to evolve, the role of public accounting will undoubtedly remain crucial, adapting to meet new challenges and opportunities in an increasingly complex financial landscape.
