My daughter is the only one in our family that is still wearing a mask on occasion. She was in Brooklyn during the lockdowns. I tried to tell her that her experience of CoVid in her community there was FAR DIFFERENT than what we witnessed here in flyover country. Vastly different.
I will say she is the only one who hasn’t caught it, at least, not that she’s aware of. She thinks it’s because of her mask and not getting near people. While the distancing may be part of the reason, I think she’s just been incredibly fortunate.
I was never worried or concerned about catching CoVid, because I think that, for the most part, it was going after the low-hanging fruit first. Then with the variants, it was going to hit more of us. It’s been a year since I had it, and my case was VERY MILD. I’ve definitely had worse ailments than this damn thing they are using to batter us with.
I think you’re right about the submissive cowards. We all learned more about our fellow man than we really wanted to know. I lost respect for many people. Out of congeniality, I have maintained my relationships, but they are definitely more strained than they used to be.
we had it- maybe a couple of times- got in in march when it first came out- didn’t get tested, but pretty sure it was covid- knocked the stuffings out of us- then got omicron later- was kinda bad, but have had worse flues really- we did get tested the second time- and sure enough- we all had it-
with a near 100% survival rate overall, we weren’t too worried even though we were in higher risk category- none of us are morbidly overweight, and don’t have serious ongoing diseases like diabetes- but do have a few conditions which made it kidna iffy- but still- the odds were really good for survival so no big deal-
