If anyone wants to argue with me about it, I'll just say I don't newly-released drugs (which I don't). I took a prescribed drug for YEARS that they found increases the chances of bladder cancer; now they won't let people take it for more than a year. I'm now off it, but I have a ticking time bomb of possible bladder cancer developing in the the future. So I can get all righteous and in someone's face if they dis me for not taking a new drug.
I was just listening to a frugal living video that was recorded back in October. The topic was suggested things to have handy for when you're sick (not COVID sick, just typical winter sick stuff). At the end, she was talking about COVID and went over the survival rate. She said ‘if you went to the doctor and he told you that you have cancer but you have 99% survival rate, would you be collapsing in a puddle that the world was going to end, or would you be celebrating? Same thing, people!!’.
Put it into perspective without arguing all the statistics, fake news, etc., with people who are scared. At this point, the people who want to be scared are going to be scared no matter what, anyway.
I realized Covid19 couldn’t be the killer they try to make it out to be when my husband’s brother and wife who are in their mid 80’s tested positive for it. He has had 7 bypasses, colon cancer (removed and survived) etc. They were just told to go home and treat the symptoms. I asked what were the symptoms and they said EXTREME tiredness. Heck that is what I had been having and found out it is from lack of oxygen. I am taking oxygen at night but not sure if enough as I am still extremely tired. Not falling asleep tired, but just not enough umph! to do anything.
I like that! I’ve had cancer but still not afraid of COVID.
