Just being real, I know people who have had covid. Even tested positive. It was a random mix of ailments. My aunt got it and she just had zero energy for 24 hours. Work confirmed she had it for her. She was back to treadmilling 4 miles a day the next day. My cousin's husband caught it at work (in a hospital) and he was just fine, but he quarantined 2 weeks.

That's the only person I personally knew who had it.

Other people were friends of friends and family of friends and coworkers of friends. There were people who did die in the early months. My mom's coworker and his son caught it and died. They were both heavy smokers and obese, the son was only like 25. Others were elderly who passed away very early with it.

One friend's wife caught it for 3 weeks and had no energy for those 3 weeks. My friend thought oh my wife has it, I must have it. Well he always tested negative and he never caught it, but he'd still sleep with his wife, because he assumed he'd just have it.

Just being real. Not trying to sway anyone. Just anecdotes. At first I was shocked that I'd even know someone with it rather than a friend of a friend.

My aunt also got it, she was in the ICU for 20 days and hospital for a total of about 25 days. Now, that being said, she had wildly uncontrolled diabetes, was supposed to be on a handful of medications and insulin, she did neither. So covid stacked with an immune system that was in the dumpster gave her pneumonia, sparked by covid.

She was on oxygen 24/7 for 3 months, she's doing very well now, but almost died for sure. Her husband had it, just 3-4 days of body aches, fever, perfectly fine after that.
