[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know a single person who got sick from covid. Not a big deal even pre vaccine [/quote]
C'mon. Up your troll game.  :roll: [/quote]

I absolutely believe that poster. I indirectly (e.g., friend of a friend) know of people that have been seriously ill, but none of my friends/family/coworkers with COVID had anything more than mild cold symptoms. Most were entirely asymptomatic.

I don't know a lot of elderly people, though.[/quote]

THREE of my husband’s friends died from Covid. Three. They ranged in age from 48-55. Two were hospitalized for many weeks, both at Hopkins. My colleague’s husband passed away as well. He was older (60s) and had underlying health issues. Do not downplay what this virus has done because you don’t directly know someone who has lost their life. [/quote]

I'm not oblivious to the damage COVID has done, particularly to old and unhealthy individuals. But it's not reasonable to expect kids and young adults to continue to bear the brunt of mitigations primarily to help old people. It's time for old and sick people to protect themselves and let everyone else get on with their lives. It's not particularly unusual for people to die of various health conditions in their 50s and 60s.

As health care improves, we seem to have more and more people trying to ignore our inherent mortality.[/quote]
