Thanks for sharing, this thread has been an interesting exchange. I myself have been trying to reconcile the data, my observations from personal life, and stories I hear from trusted sources. From the data and personal life, I’ve come to the conclusion that young people shouldn’t worry about this disease, especially from dying. But then I’ve heard from a close friend how he knows two young, healthy people who have suffered from side effects after recovering from it. They say they feel like they couldn’t run as much as they could before because now they get out of breathe quicker.
After reading one of the responses about vaping lung injury, I asked my friend about the two guys. Turns out they both vaped. I’m curious about your sister-in-law’s patients whether that’s the same case. I think the reason some people may be reacting strongly to your story is because of covid alarmism fatigue. A lot of us are just sick of hearing how we need to be continually scared. Unfortunately, this is the disservice that the media have done to legitimate conversations like this. Please don’t take it personally, I think we’re all just a little stir crazy at this point with everything that’s been going on.
All great questions. This is the kind of thing we need to encourage, critical thinking. Like the left, some of us on our side also falls into the trap of believing something definitively and reflexively rejecting opposing views, even if there are substance to it. I guess it’s human nature, I find myself doing that sometimes and have to check myself.
There’s definitely something eerie to what’s been happening, especially when things are not adding up. Before this year there’s a lot of things I wouldn’t have considered to be true, but now I wouldn’t be surprised at anything.
