Yes. Had it in December and it sucked, especially brain fog which lasted weeks.

Got it right now for the third time. Nearly a week in, this time it’s hit pretty hard. So tired all the time.

Late to the game here but unsure what everyone in this thread disagrees about? The principle of everyone having the right to decide what happens to their body is true for covid issues and roe v wade. It’s simple and it’s the same thing - everyone decides what’s best for their body and their life.

I’ve had it twice and it was terrible. Others I know that are under 35 that have gotten it and it’s taken months to recover.

Not sure why people are dismissing the severity of it when it’s not just about dying but the fact is you might not recover for months

Agreed. I recently got it after successfully avoiding it for a long time. The actual week that I had it wasn’t too bad but I’m a month out and I still have random scary moments where I feel like I can’t catch my breath.

No. Because I'm not a coward and I don't believe what the fake news, the globalist organizations, and the drug companies tell us. Proudly unvaccinated.

I wouldn’t say I’m “still afraid” of catching Covid, but I’ve heard of way more people getting it in just the past 2 weeks - 2/6 people on my team have it right now - so now I’m going to have to be much more careful visiting immunocompromised family members. I also find when people ask if you’re “afraid,” they usually are being more political than genuinely concerned. People who are genuinely curious usually regard mask wearing/social distancing as caution, not fear.

Cancer survivor and lifelong asthmatic. Even getting regular ol’ bronchitis puts me down for ages. So, yeah, I’d still like to not get COVID now and forever.

You can’t answer my question, wherever you work?

Yes. I'm looking my life as normally as possible. But out of consideration for others, especially the high risk folks in my life, I'm taking every precaution possible. I am still very much avoiding large public places/events and working from home. Also, I have some chronic health issues that put me at risk. And with how expensive health care is? No thanks on the virus. I have avoided it all this time and I'll continue to be careful for as long as it takes.

Just got through it recently. It completely sucked - out of commission for a week, and still having some lingered effects. Family and extended family also got it at the same time and F’d everyone up. All because someone who wasn’t feeling well (headache, sore throat as it was reported later) decided to not stay home, and instead be around folks. Oh, and we’re all vaxed and boosted. So yeah, not looking to get sick again with this shit.

Same symptoms. Not vaxxed. Go figure.

Yes absolutely, even if I'm boosted. But still I'm terrified

Afraid? Nah, not for myself and I don’t live with anyone high risk. But concerned and taking precautions to avoid it? You bet.

Yes, I am immunocompromised because of ongoing cancer treatment. Whether you are afraid or not of getting COVID, please keep in mind that there are lots of folks out there who are at high risk even though they are vaccinated and boosted. (And there is still no vaccine for kids under 5.). So, as a courtesy, please mask up on planes, other public transportation, and anywhere where lots of people are packed into an indoor space. It’s not “living in fear” to do that, but rather basic human decency.

like

I’ve managed to avoid it, but I’m less afraid of getting it for me, and more for the immunocompromised friends and the older family.

I know someone who was purposefully given it by his roommate (who was asymptomatic and didn’t tell my friend he had it and gave it to the friend to “prove it wasn’t that bad”) and he accidentally gave it to his grandmother who died and he is still having issues with his lungs. So that’s what scares me.
