Scary stuff and sad

That the true threat of this thing has been lost due to it being politicized.
Yes, it may have a extremely low morbidity rate, but the long term respiratory and neurological effects are what scare me the most. The issues that linger even after you've recovered.

Brother was a healthy 36 year old. He caught it going on vacation in Florida. It almost killed him. He ended up running 104 fever only able to breathe when he was lying down.
I have no desire to go through that.

Sucks your brother was in the unlucky 1%
It's like Russian Roulette, with a lower percentage.
And don't equate it to the flu- people who get hospitalized for the flu, unless they are already overwhelmed, get stabilized quickly. But with Covid, if you happen to be in the small group it hits hard, it just feels like we're pissing in the wind. It progresses and you keep them alive as best you can, until it passes or they do.
I'm healthy for over 50. Hell, I might have had it already. But I don't want it, don't want to take that roll of the dice.

This isnt true at all
We have had 2 healthy people under 40 test flu positive, go into ARDS and die this year

Prob that I just don’t wanna get sick in general, whether it be covid, a cold, the flu, or a sinus infection.

That actually makes me feel better but, I’m still super scared about it

quote:Same for my daughter. Other than that I'm more worried about the associated impacts on policy and the economy. For myself personally, I'm more scared of cancer or heart disease than I am of COVID. Not that I dwell on those things, either, but the coronavirus is just another thing on a very long list that could possibly kill me.
I worry for my wife because she has an auto-immune deficiency.

permanent lung damage
I would agree with this.
I am now recovering, and the return of my breathing has been slow, even after a month from when I first got sick. And, I didn't even get all that sick: just the coughing and the breathing difficulty.

They catch it, but it is no risk to them because their immune system is underdeveloped and won’t overreact. The 85 babies in one Texas counties will result in zero fatalities and zero health problems. If you read the article that lsufan_26 linked you’ll notice that the alarmists would not comment on the condition of the babies. I wonder why? It’s because there are no adverse conditions, and that would not fit the alarmist narrative.

Not trolling at all. How does that infinitesimal percentage of sub-50 folks who get hit so bad by Covid compare to the annual rate of sub-50 healthy folks who succumb to the flu, measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough, etc, etc, etc???

I am 62, rarely wear a mask. I generally keep my distance from people and wash my hands like I have always done. Starting back to church 1st of the month. Other than that, phucck it. Life, Live It!

If it wasn't for the wife, I would welcome it knowing it will kill me.
