How many times have you had Covid?

[Anonymous]

Once. My husband and I both got it on a trip to Iceland/Ireland. Thankfully we didn’t show any symptoms until our return.

[Anonymous]

Once. This February. I work in a clinical setting and masked until recently. Have been up code and in person all along.

Covid sucks. It cost me a ton of money taking time off to care for child, and loss of appointments while I was down with it as well. Fairly sure we caught it from elementary school.

You have to be one of the more delusional and/or ignorant posters I have seen in a long time.

More Americans died from COVID than ANY US war. More than one million died of a disease that did not exist five years ago.

And you think we all over-reacted??

This is Memorial day weekend. How many ceremonies will be held, and statues laid with wreaths to honor our war dead. Think of the most devastating war in your mind.

MORE people died of COVID than any of our wars, Let that sink in (those of you who don't even see it in your rearview mirror???)

COVID isn't a warring enemy. In war, bombs don't care who they kill. Old, young, everyone in between. The people who died of COVID were disproportionately elderly and in poor health. Hugely so. The vast majority of COVID deaths were among people with significant comorbidities. Huge, enormous overlap. Given we're now two full years post the peak COVID deaths, a good chunk of the people who died of COVID would have died by now of something else. By contrast, COVID wasn't killing classrooms of kids or people out shopping at supermarkets when a stray bomb fell on it.

I'm 42 in excellent health and no known health problems. The odds of dying from COVID is next to none. Like the vast, vast, vast, vast majority of people who get COVID, it will be nothing more than a pesky feverish cold for a few days and then back to normal.

Probably the saddest outcome of COVID isn't the elderly and sick who lost a bit of life they otherwise would have lived, but the younger people who had no reason to fear COVID but who have become damaged by COVID fears that they are not able to accurately and pragmatically measure the risks.

I know several people who are currently experiencing it for the first time. It’s still here.

I’m not doing anything differently at the moment. But wonder if I should be wearing a mask on metro again.

My immediate family has never tested positive. I have no idea how.

Do you hear yourself?

You are basically saying if I am not at risk for dying from it, how big a deal can it really be?

Totally self-absorbed.

Lies
And teachers in states that were open died at unprecedented rates.

Live in your web of lies.

None that we know of. We are a family of 5, are not very careful generally but we do test when we have colds. My 8 year old tested positive once in 2022, but other than that, none of us have ever tested positive.

NP. That's not how I read this at all. This person is saying that the war analogy is a very bad one. This disease and it's worst outcomes are not at all random. They never were even in March 2020. In May 2023, the worst outcomes even for the weakest among us are largely (not entirely) avoidable even for the elderly and sick if they avail themselves of vaccines and treatments. Re-read the bolded sentence. That is this person's point and I agree 100 percent.

Where is the data on this? How do you know they died of covid at rates higher than other professions in these open states?

3 times that I know of. Never masked unless required, and usually avoided those places. Have traveled extensively since 2022 around the US. In Italy now and haven't seen any masks at all.

My illnesses were very mild. Other family members never got it even when sharing a hotel room and car with me. 87 yo parent in assisted living has had it twice with minimal symptoms.

Dead fathers and brothers, mothers and daughters are real losses. Even if they are beyond what you see as their peak years of productivity.

Are you Republican? I find you survival of the fittest/Lord of the Flies mindset to be sickening.

My brother died of COVID the first month of the pandemic. Vaccines were not available for the first year it was spreading.

But go ahead and feel superior because you did not die. Those weak, useless grandparents, and kids with cancer or other chronic illnesses. good riddance.

What feels really weird is that I STILL don't know anyone who has died of COVID! And I have a huge family and know lots and lots of people!

You are fortunate. We are not in the same ship.

The death rates are easily found. Google is your friend. Compare Fla to Maryland. It’s sad his many senseless deaths there were.

Also look at the death rates of grocery store workers and people working in warehouses.. especially for food. The rate of death is double those who could stay safe at home.

Ignorance is bliss apparently.
