The CDC made a public awareness ad about #MECFS in 2007. I’m not aware of a similar public health campaign since, despite increasing numbers linked to long Covid and the lack of awareness that exercise can make people worse.

Usually, a player throws a ball towards first base, not a bat.

This is what I mean by retro shows giving the wrong impression of the real 1980's. The only one of these I had were cassette tapes. 80's electronics were really expensive!
