I live in a covid hotspot. My sister and brother in law both had covid. My wife and child have covid. My son vomitted a few times and my wife has felt bad for about a week. Both have been coughing alot. Usually I'm terrified of getting the flu but for some reason I havent really cared and I've still been kissing my wife and even drinking after her (usually I forget but sometimes ill say fuck it and drink after her). I had a slight cough for a few days but I feel great.

    I dont care either personally, Im more worried of transmitting it to people that I do care about (esp. older/compromised). I wouldnt fuck around if there was a child in the house, children can die too easily, thats a bit risky mate.

      I do. One time my wife got the flu and I did everything I could to avoid getting it. I wouldnt kiss, sleep with her, i wore a mask in the house even washed my hands alot and I STILL got it. Covid is even more contagious so I figured it is pointless. Im gonna get it too.

    Ive been just living life as normally as possible and trying to avoid as much of the propaganda as I can. This lockdown shit needs to end, Im tired of this BS. Id rather not get covid, but Im not going to go around living in fear. Everybodys going to die from something some day.

      Ppl do tend to act like this is ebola or aids. Its not THAT deadly. You are very likely to survive without heavy symptoms. The ppl at risk should be locked down not us.

        The whole thing is political. I had some lady yell at me a couple weeks ago to wear a mask when I was riding my bike on the other side of the street. Its ridiculous. I feel like these people just sit home watching the news all day that they think there are bodies piling up in the street everywhere.

        I dont do politics. But Ive been paying attention cause the lockdown nonsense actually affects my life. They sold us this with videos of people collapsing in the street in china, there was a funeral pyre so big in Wuhan that the fake space station could see it. None of that is happening, anywhere. They just keep changing what the goal is of any of this to justify continuing it.

        I honestly think this is going to go on as long as people keep complying. Some people are doing very well with everyone sitting home ordering delivery food and garbage from amazon.

    I dont really care about catching it myself im young and healthy. at worst i might feel like crap for a week. very unlikely it would kill me. but i worry about getting it not having symptoms and spreading it to some old or high risk person who might die. so i wear the mask wash my hands and stay away from people as much as possible. obviously i still have to go grocery shopping and i get takeout or drive through from time to time. but im doing my best.

      You know they keep going back and forth on everything they say but apparently if you arent showing symptoms you are not as contagious as they once thought

    Even if you get mild symptoms it's very common that the symptoms stay longterm. Many has had symptoms for 6 months even more. It's not very fun even if you get mild longterm symptoms. One common symptom is fatigue and brain fog for example, some people can't work fulltime anymore.
    Maybe you think it would be fun to possibly contract something chronic though.
    Flus never give you longterm symptoms unless you are in the unlucky minority of getting a complication which turns chronic like chronic sinusitis or something.

    I really don't want to get covid, but if my husband and kids got it then I wouldn't be trying too hard to avoid them. It seems inevitable at that stage, unless you want to go and live in a hotel for a few weeks, which I can't really do anyway because my children are far too young to be left to their own devices.

    So I sort of get where you're coming from.

    Will you care when you’re in the hospital on a ventilator and they tell you there’s nothing more they can do for you?

      Im not the OP but yes, then I would care. Considering the risk of that happening is so small it's basically nonexistent, I don't care.

    I don't believe you. You're lying so as to reinforce your view that COVID-19 isn't serious. The goal is that others read this and think, "Damn. That man's whole family is fucked up on COVID-19 and they're fine. He isn't even scared. The flu is way worse. Trump 2024."

        Given your weird activities regarding posting malicious links here I'm not in a hurry to give you my contact info.

        I'd consider providing a burner email and checking it on Linux but it's ultimately pointless as, besides being a serious violation of your sister's, brother-in-law's, wife's privacy, I've no real way to determine if any medical records you provided (because everyone has their brother-in-law's COVID-19 diagnosis records handy) weren't just shit I could just as easily yank off the internet or fabricate in 5 minutes.

        Lots of people get mad when you question any part of the whole "Lockdowns are necessary and we're all going to die" narrative.

    You may well have already had it. A reality is that its only a mild infection for many people. However, its a serious illness for many others.

      The people it's a serious illness for, are people who every illness is serious for.

      Florida nobody gives a fuck about the rules and they have less deaths than NY.

        Your 1st statement is not true. My wife works part time in a hospital. She has seen 90+ people come in with covid and survive... and very fit firefighters or construction workers in their 30's come in with Covid and die. The teenager that died affected her the most.

        While there is a general trend that people with either certain bad cases or certain medical cases or multiple medical conditions do worse with Covid; the population outside of that is totally unpredictable. My wife has seen too much of it to be able to even predict what happens if they are sick enough to be hospitalized.

        The medical profession has learned how to better treat patients than early on, and the death rate has declined from the early months of Covid-19.

          Exactly, the death rate has seriously gone down. I don't watch the news, ever. But I keep up on the graphs they put out every day once in a while.

          I feel as bad for people that die from covid as I do for any stranger that dies. Somebody in the US dies every 12 seconds. Does everybody feel bad for all of them? It sucks, but before all this nonsense it was accepted that people dying was part of life.

          Im pretty much an Anarchist, I believe that people should be allowed to do whatever they want as long as they don't hurt other people who don't deserve it. Living carries a guaranteed risk of death at all times. Even if you never leave your house you can die in a house fire. People should be free to choose what level of risk is acceptable for them to live happily.

          I have manic depression. I suffer from bipolar insomnia and I'm also a physically dependent alcoholic. Dont have a very lucrative career or own any property. Statistically Im a lot more likely to kill myself than I am to die from covid. Nobody wants to talk about the toll that isolation takes on the mental health of people who were already just hanging on, other than "go to therapy." The problem isnt needing therapy, its that myself and Im sure many other people have had coping mechanisms removed in the name of "stopping the spread" (is that still the goal now, it keeps changing) and its caused a decline in their already poor mental health.

          Basically, I just feel like the risk of dying from covid isn't anywhere near high enough to justify sitting home by myself broke and miserable contemplating suicide every day. Thats just my 2 cents.

            A study I read a few weeks ago based on high quality contact tracing indicated that 59% of all Covid-19 transmission occurred from people who were asymptomatic (did not show symptoms, at least at the time of transmission).

            In the case of Covid-19: You can hurt other people unless you take precautions to minimize that - just by being out and about around people. Wearing a high quality mask does that (a real surgical grade mask - currently about $2 each in the US , or N95 mask currently about $5 each in the US).

            Note most mask that look like a surgical mask are not (tons of those on the market). There are specific test criteria that real surgical masks (Level 1 - Level 3) must meet and they have more robust layers than the cheep look alike ones.

            I wish you well and hope that you don't have to deal with any significance Covid-19 issues. I first got knocked on my butt for about 3 months, and then have had long term effects that reduce my abilities since then.

              I don't trust their studies and I don't believe the masks or distancing actually works in reality. Ill wear a mask if a building requires me to enter it and that's it. Yeah, the last pack of masks I bought actually says on the package that its not any good for medical use.

              Id rather not get sick in general. Im absolutely not going to wear 2 masks to walk down the street. There's no way anybody's getting sick passing a pedestrian, the whole reason flu season exists in the first place is everybody's inside with the windows closed all the time and everybody in your house gets sick if you do. They were saying like 75% of people got it from people in their house.

              I don't want people to die, but the reaction to this whole thing is crazy overblown and at this point they're using the "state of emergency" for political reasons. This is going to end like post 9/11 where we have new government agencies dictating what we can do and say.

              The information constantly changes

              "Comprehensive studies on transmission from asymptomatic individuals are difficult to conduct, but the available evidence from contact tracing reported by Member States suggests that asymptomatically-infected individuals are much less likely to transmit the virus than those who develop symptoms."

              Thats from the world health organization. I also read more that went into detail more

      I think I had a mild case of it. When I was jogging I felt out of breath and had a cough.
