Still the best overall fast-food Chinese in Worcester. Always fresh, never greasy or soggy. The owner is super nice. I moved out of Worcester and I miss Min's Wok more than most of the higher-end places.

Red Pepper is a close second.

Yes, same thing since early October. Been on a Z-Pack, prednisone, codeine cough syrup, albuterol inhaler, chest e-ray was clear. I had COVID for the first time in June and this has been much worse. Nothing really helps but it has gotten slightly better recently.

Except Birch Tree is also a popular pizza spot and was running beer and pizza deals before games this past season, so they actually are in the conversation.

Bay State has the advantage of a dedicated parking lot, so they're a natural fit to see a bump during game days. But they aren't, because the people who go to the games aren't going out before or after. They're driving in, going to the game, and leaving after.

Meanwhile, it appears as though people who aren't going to the games are also staying away during games, likely due to the perceived lack of parking. This is something the city can and absolutely has to improve. And too much of the public simply does want to park right in front, and that absolutely needs to change as well.

This idea that the Canal District is or was this shitty area that needed saving by the ballpark is fucking psychotic - did you not see how many different small businesses opened in the area before Covid hit? The whole Crompton building, the Public Market, the ice rink, a few dispensaries, gyms, and all those bars and restaurants? It's been one of the few places in the city that has enough dense, walkable commerce to function like an actual city. Again, I'm not even placing much blame for these closings on the ballpark, but the idea that each of these businesses have somehow fumbled the bag is just nonsense.

Get an inhaler and try out this one product: MYCO Host Defense BREATH. It's got Cordyceps, Reishi and Chaga and I know of several people who have found it really helped. It is, by no means, a guarantee as alternative medicine is just as hit-or-miss as pharmaceuticals... But this is relatively cheap to try and see if it helps.

...So I'm sorry if I'm blunt here, but this feels like the obvious problem. Most folks who have Long COVID are having either shortness of breath, loss of smell / smell change, or cough regularly. I have several friends that are like that at the moment - one of whom is typically doing 20+ hours of martial arts training a week and now he can't do any of it... Long COVID is awful.
