I love genuine questions and people putting in the effort to love and understand each other better. If you come at me just wanting to argue I’m going to troll you back. FAFO.
Also cancer (especially when treated with chemo) and congenital autoimmune disorders. You actually wear your paper mask inside out to put the fluid barrier on the inside to keep particles IN better when providing care. They also can’t have raw fruit or veggies or unpasteurized dairy (and nobody should be eating raw meat for the most part) and they can only have fake or origami flowers (a really cool hospital volunteer project just make sure to wash your hands and not fold / assemble them while sick).
I’m actually feeling ok for just this one last night. I had a patient get more physically ill than they really should be on a psych unit but not so much I completely couldn’t handle it workout the charge nurse making all the phone calls. The patient was actually super grateful the whole time and their condition improved a lot which was a nice change of pace. Dayshift was pissed but not at me, and there’s just something deeply satisfying about knowing the hospitalist is about to get verbally fisted for not admitting your patient to medical (as they should, there was a lot more luck involved in my success than is generally advisable in a hospital setting). I’m really, really good at holding a crisis together until sunrise, but at my last job they forgot how good I was to the extent that they stopped realizing it was me putting all the fires out, and eventually they forgot the fires even existed. It’s only been six months so we’ll see but so far but them telling me the hospitalist boutta find out about our unit manager is… nice. It’s just nice.
As others have stated, you’re still going to have to define dead, and you’re going to have to define the question of what happens. I suspect you may not actually have any specifications for either and are just having fun thinking up and about random shit (that’s not a dig; I share this hobby).
But for the sake of further discussion, let’s add a few more specific (but non-limiting) questions just to help the discussion along.
I’m going to exclude cases where they’re already deeply buried or cremated because the obvious answer is “stay there” with the exception of a purely magic related situation where their body just spontaneously recorporeates somewhere? What would be the social consequences to that, how would people react, and what would happen to any property they left behind? This actually raises a lot of other questions related to the social dynamics such as:
There’s also some physical questions such as how much skin, muscle, brain, and other organ breakdown would have occurred and which part would have the most damage.
There’s questions about whether or not they’re likely to have experienced something spiritual (including what we DO know about near-death experiences like the commonality of a peaceful feeling or spiritual experiences.
I gave no great answers to any of these and additionally encourage others to ask similar hypothetical details to ask about.
To me honestly lust is just lying about sex. Being poly when a partner tells me they had somebody over to fuck while I’ve been on my 3 day work stretch I’m like high five buddy get it but finding a dating app on their phone I didn’t know about or intimate texts I didn’t know about or that they cut into my time with them and told me they were sick or working when they were with another person are all not ok. Same thing when I’ve made relationship fuckups it was never really the having sex with someone else specifically it was that I was doing that after saying I was willing to be monogamous and not fessing up when I realized I couldn’t be.
I would post in that comm but my main contribution would be to add a conspiracy theory about how China did engineer the virus but targeting the uighurs (and their own elderly) not Americans based on an entire crackpot web a la iasip including everything from blood types to reports of people who have survived the camps saying they were injected with unknown substances but I can read the room well enough to know where my tinfoil hat belongs.
