    I had 2 shots and 2 boosters 6 mo apart. I think by now it’s about as harmful to me as the common cold, I actually feel a sick sort of enjoyment whenever somebody wins the Darwin award for this. Sucks for the people with auto-immune problems, though, my heart sinks for them.

      Careful, the Left Behind Christians want to bring about the end of the world for the same reason. It’s not healthy.

      Wife and I had two shots, two boosters, caught Covid in February, and we’re both still dealing with long Covid symptoms, aside from the fact that being sick itself was a nightmare.

      This disease is a freaking lottery, you’ll never know how you’ll react until you catch it. My aunt and uncle are still somewhat recluse, because neither can take the shots. Really sucks for immunosuppressed people.

    Avoid kids, don’t go outside unless you have to, don’t touch everything you see like you’re some kind of toddler; hands in your pocket. Don’t slack on basic precautions, gravitate towards old people and if you see a white girl cough, drop your path and reroute to avoid them.

    The first and last ones are by far the most important to follow; by far the biggest vectors of the disease.

      The touching stuff is much less important for Covid. (It’s a huge vector for other things like the flu though.)

    Probably they got it but they didn’t notice. At a place I worked in recently several people had cold like symptoms and I got same but immediately knew it’s corona because I got it last year. But almost everyone describes it as cold or allergies.

    I live in a very small town and pretty much only leave home for groceries. In general I’m never around people. On top of taking all the precautions, it wasn’t that hard for me.

    I somehow dodged it until earlier this year and it barely affected me. Just woke up now at 6am and I have it again lol. The rest of my family spent the last week dealing with it and now it’s my turn again.

    Made it to July. I don’t go out much so not a big surprise. Knew it would happen. Girl I was seeing tested positive but said I could still come over to have sex. Had sex, caught covid. Stayed at home til I tested negative. Totally worth it.

    I kind of hope I am just immune at this point. I’ll probably get it randomly in a few years when I least expect it.

    I suspect that I had an asymptomatic case at some point, my dad was testing positive and was not showing symptoms and my mom and sister were both showing symptoms but tested negative (even though given the circumstances, I don’t think that result was correct)

    I never showed symptoms or took a test as I wasn’t showing symptoms so hard to know

    I never got covid and if I did it was completely without symptoms.

    Rest of the family got when visiting me in the city but somehow I did not get ill.

      All of the later versions of coven were less deadly and had less of your symptoms and lasted less. It was the first person to covet that really fucking sucked

        All strains of covid was relatively “less lethal” at a mortal rate of 1%. “Long covid” was more common.
