oh, man. You're a denier? I don't know what to say. I've lost a lot of people in my life to COVID, many were under 70, one in his 30s.
I know you're unlikely to take advice from an internet stranger, but I do hope you get vaccinated and reconsider your position.
- iammisc 5y agoI don't deny covid at all. I am vaccinated, and was first in line . What I am not is a fear mongerer. The data show that if you're young and without preexisting conditions your chances of survival without hospitalization are excellent. I'm sorry you've lost friends, but just because I've also lost friends to mild diseases, like the common cold or common bacteria, doesn't mean I need to tell people who don't think a cold is a big deal that they're a cold denier. That's anti science nonsense
- kcplate 5y agoNot sure of where you are from, but I am in the US and in state that had a whole lot of cases. I live in a metropolitan area with several million people. I know personally, maybe 20 people who have had it. One of the 20 was hospitalized from it. Personally I know zero people that have died from it, and only know a 2-3 acquaintances who have lost loved ones. All of those lost were well into their 80s. So it’s not unusual that in a rural area…folks may not see Covid as the threat that others do. I viewed it as a threat enough to get vaccinated as soon as I was able, but out of an abundance of caution…not fear.
- iammisc 5y agoSame I know zero people hospitalized or died. And my aunt lives in a senior community where many got it... The only person I know who died lives in a third world country and had medical issues. Terribly sad, but I mean we hear stories of all kinds of terrible disease from there.
