The recent study where they intentional infected a bunch of paid volunteers and tracked what happened over the next year is really concerning. All of them have lasting brain damage and none of them can tell this occurred. The Long Covid studies are struggling to find healthy controls because there are a lot of people now walking around with the metabolic and vascular problems that are found in Long Covid but appear asymptomatic. This virus is doing a lot of damage and everyone is one infection away from their life being destroyed by Long Covid.
The studying I am referring to https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(24)00421-8/fulltext
Bare in mind it’s one in 400k such studies showing the damage of Covid it’s no outlier it’s just really dumb.
idk, I’m personally not worried about it and never really have been. Still isolated a few times and always wore a mask, but only for other people.
Vaccines are out, it’s as under control as it’s realistically gonna be, not worth worrying about for me personally.
Yeah, it’s part of life now. Like cancer, if it happens, it happens. If I’m sick, I try to isolate and recover.
You could however keep worrying for the rest of your life and feel miserable, spend time for all sorts of preparations, become germophobic, restrict your life decisions and become bitter.
Some people prefer the later. Quite a lot actually.
I’m pretty sure that if you knew you would get cancer from someone else who has it at a very high probability of transmission you would avoid it at all times.
This is a very poor comparison. At best it dimishes how bad cancer is and at worst you’re also giving terrible advice to people who care about not having their life destroyed by covid.
There’s a very large gap between “Don’t bother trying to avoid it” and “live in perpetual terror of getting it.” It’s not a binary thing.
