I wish I could downvote this submission. I do not find it interesting enough. I wouldn’t want to downvote to a negative number, I applaud HN submissions, but I do want to vote that this shouldn’t be on the front page. I’ve had covid twice, I’m fine. With that said, my experiences are entirely different. It’s fine that he writes about this. It’s his blog after all. I simply wish I could downvote it on HN. IMO, this submission doesn’t belong here as it isn’t that novel (if at all) and the opinion is pure subjective. So a non-novel subjective opinion is what I’m seeing. Allow me to vote that it doesn’t belong here.

That's what the flag button is for.

> I’ve had covid twice, I’m fine. With that said, my experiences are entirely different. The submission reeks of ignorant survivorship bias. Even though fatalities were a fraction of contagion, and even though long COVID seems to only bother those who suffer from it, it's highly ignorant to in the same breath complain about basic public health measures like lockdowns and pretend everything was ok because a) the author survived, b) vaccines were unexpectedly rolled out afterwards.
