Was sick for 16 hours. Felt like I had a slight cold. My dad? He was really sick for 2 weeks. It seems to be VERY person dependent imo. Mostly affecting those with a bad waist to height ratio. So if you are healthy, you should be okay.
Edit: I also know a couple people who died, 100% of them were older 60+ and very unhealthy.
In my city of 2+ million, only like 200 people under 25 died, and I’m guessing most of those people died in a car crash and happened to have COVID. (Because they are literally tracking deaths that way.)
Both me and the ole lady are years past 40.
Not younger people at all.
Neither one of us was sick more than a couple of days.
I'm about 5-11 and 225lbs. She's 5-5 about 130lbs.
Our friends father died of covid. But he was 70 and obese diabetic. The flu would've got the poor fella too and he knew it.
This covid panic is bullshit.
I also think alot of people who wind up in the hospital haven't been sick before. I mean if you've ever had pneumonia, or another bad sickness with a fever then covid isn't going to scare you when you get sick. Because it's really nothing unique. Just a bad flu really. But alot of people these days have never been really sick before. So they get a bit of a fever, panic and head for the emergency room.
Illnesses used to just be considered a part of life. Viruses and disease were just shit organic mammals had to deal with. Nobody went to the hospital unless the fever was really, high or went on longer than 3 or 4 days.
It's just life in the nerf world I guess. We're just spoiled now.
I just really hate surrendering anonymity, privacy and freedoms over a God damn flu. It's just plain stupid to think a government, or politicians can stop a virus from running its course. You might as well try to tie down a volcano with a shoestring.
Because every pandemic ends the same way, no matter what. It makes it's way through the population. That's it. Then we live with it. Because it's not going anywhere. But the good news is, eventually we become immune.
