I’m glad your personal experience with it has been fine. Understand that your personal experience is not the only experience people have with it. Throwing out random numbers like “99.98%” which do not reflect reality only stokes fears. The reality isn’t that scary. We should stick to it.
I doubt 0.65% death rate. Perhaps 0.65% of what has been REPORTED/TESTED. Do we really know how many folks had mild symptoms or asymptomatic that never were tested? I’ve seen reports/estimates it may be 10-30x as many.
To be honest, I was prepared. Megadose vitamins. Take zinc with tonic water. Outside at least an hour a day. Exercise and stay in shape.
I got my Chinese Communist party virus from my wife. She’s not in as good a shape. She still had minor symptoms and is now negative.
Thanks for some scientific stats that back my reality check:
COVID-19 is airborne.
That means, “in the air, everywhere”.
It is ENDEMIC.
We will ALL get exposed..over and over.
MANY of us will “test positive”, mostly without symptoms, again and again.
SOME of us will be “symptomatic”, and a subset will be really sick.
And (unfortunately) a FEW of us will die.
This is NOT the Bubonic plague.
This is NOT the Spanish Influenza.
Tear off that face diaper.
Breathe deeply. Inhale some COVID. Inhale some more!
Build up your immune system.
And LIVE!
