Five people at my work including my direct boss had covid over the last year. Four of them are very obese and they all recovered just fine with only mild symptoms. None of them got it from each other as the time was spaced too far apart and they don't even work near each other.
Me and six other people were often crammed in a small non-ventilated office for 10-15 minutes several times a day with our boss with no masks on up until the time he tested positive and NONE of us got it.
My brother in law in his mid 40s who used to run marathons and was in perfect health was diagnosed with MS a couple years ago. He was managing his symptoms quite successfully up until he died from covid late last year. His entire immediate family got through covid with only mild symptoms.
So I really don't know what to think. I think it's real but no where near as deadly as they claim. I think my bro in law's immunity system was already messed up because of his MS and who knows.. a bad flu might have ended him anyway.
Regardless there's no way in Hell I'm getting vaxxed... I'm not even going to get tested if I get sick unless I end up in the hospital.
Well to play devils advocate here, I actually know a bunch of people who had, I mean just do the math. Assuming the deaths aren't inflated and there's actually a 99.97% chance of surviving that means that roughly 3 out of every 10,000 INFECTED people die from covid (Multiply .9997 by 10,000). So even if EVERYONE you knew was infected it would be extremely unlucky to know someone that died from covid.
Same. I know a bunch of people who have had covid. I've only heard of one person who died (and it was through a coworker's in-law's friend's parent who was morbidly obese with diabetes and 80 years old - and even then someone in the telephone game could be full of BS). Through Six degrees of separation you probably know one person but that just speaks to how rare it is.
