It is virtually inevitable that everyone is going to catch this thing at some point.

Correct, which is why prevention attempts are fundamentally futile and simply prolong the development of natural herd immunity. What we need to focus on is Covid treatment protocols, not pretending we can forever evade it. This is where the medical establishment has fatally destroyed its public credibility. Covid is the only disease in modern history where if you get it your standard-issue doctor will tell you "I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do. Go home and hope you don't die."

The best people can hope for is that it mutates into a less virulent form, which is what viruses normally do.

Wrong. As pandemics go, Covid is and always was exceptionally weak and mild. Moreover, we know exactly what the risk factors are for severe cases and most of these are easily preventable:

Finally, when you do get it, if you're in a high-risk group or start developing any more serious symptoms (e.g., fever) find yourself a doctor who will get you on a real outpatient treatment protocol immediately. If your doctor won't, contact America's Frontline Doctors to get the help you need. Then fire that quack you've been seeing since they obviously don't have your actual health in mind.

I had it last December. It was the worst bug i've ever experienced in my life. I would not at all describe it as "weak and mild". For awhile there, I didn't know if I would survive it. I know several people who died from it.

I also caught it again a month ago. Chills and Fever, two days very sick, but I got over it much more quickly this time around, and it never got as bad as it did the first time.

Low levels of Vitamin D are strongly correlated with the worst outcomes. Learn about this and if you're not taking a Vitamin D supplement, do so. It's one of the cheapest supplements you can buy. Vitamin C, Quercetin, and Zinc are also beneficial. If you're grossly overweight, consider this as a motivational cue to get off the couch and to eat a healthier diet.

Finally, when you do get it, if you're in a high-risk group or start developing any more serious symptoms (e.g., fever) find yourself a doctor who will get you on a real outpatient treatment protocol immediately. If your doctor won't, contact America's Frontline Doctors to get the help you need. Then fire that quack you've been seeing since they obviously don't have your actual health in mind.

I'm pretty sure this is all good advice.
