Everyone I know who got “it” says it was a nothing burger. That happens to be an anecdotal 8 cases. People I work with every single day, wide range of ages from 30’s to late 50’s..
So I don’t know. Perhaps lot’s of different strains going around. IDK.
Same here. A day of two of mild symptoms, if that.
It is the fact that this is an odd disease. It is not a nothingburger. I see only those who are critically ill with it and it is horrifying. I know that I see only a subpopulation, but it is impressive as to its difficulty to treat and its protracted course that usually ends bad once you cross a certain clinical point.
What makes me sick are the idiots out there saying no vaccine is necessary because its nothing. If you are one of the person who loses the genetic lottery on this thing you absolutely would want a vaccine.
The other thing that gets me riled up is people failing to understand the difference between individual and population health. Vaccine is about population health and accelerated herd immunity so the virus does not take hold in the wild. You vaccinate not for the individual although he or she benefits by not getting sick, you vaccinate for the overall population.
Make that 10... The wife and I both had it back in May. Nothing worse than the regular flu. And, we’re both near 60.
As of six weeks ago, there are five strains of CoV-19 in global circulation.
There is the original Wuhan strain, plus four more mutations.
Some of them are definitely more deadly than others.
However, they are NOT always more deadly in ALL locations.
Why?
Quality of health care and draconian lock downs are two reason.
A third reason is the high probability that different populations may have partial or even high immunity based on previous exposure to common cold corona viruses (about five common cold corona strains, too).
