[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, because:
-we don’t yet know that having it once means you won’t get it again
-the case fatality rate may be %1 or lower so assess that risk for yourself but even if you think %1 risk of death if you get it is low, you really don’t know what the risk of you/your spouse/your kid getting very ill and perhaps being ill for a really long time. Example: I’m 35, normal BMI, no health issues. I got Covid in early March and although my worst symptoms went away after about 3 weeks, I STILL don’t feel very well almost 3 months later. I still occasionally experience shortness of breath, headache, fatigue. Of course that could be some other illness now and no longer covid effects but I have been almost entirely isolated from others since the time I first got sick (wfh, my spouse goes to the grocery store every other week but I don’t go anywhere at all, don’t see anyone outside my immediate family...so I think the chances I’ve come down with other subsequent viruses is very low and this is likely still covid causing these symptoms-that is a LONG time to be sick especially for an otherwise healthy person)
-we don’t yet have any effective therapeutics for it but scientists and doctors are working on developing them all the time so we may get some soon and if you have to get sick, it would be better to get sick once a treatment is developed
-we don’t yet know that if you do get it again, the second bout of covid infection might be even worse. It’s not likely but it’s certainly possible as this is the case for some viruses
-schools will likely be online only in the fall anyway so this whole conversation is basically pointless [/quote]

Any BMI over 30 is considered obese. You're 35. Obese. Now that may be "normal" but it's definitely not healthy. Sorry you don't feel well.[/quote]

... DP, but pretty sure 35 was her age.[/quote]

Haha yes I’m the pp above. I am 35 years old. My BMI last time I checked was 21.[/quote]
