We talk a lot about cases vs deaths. Honestly, most of us are paying far too much attention to these statistics. It's useful for policy making and tracking the spread, but not useful for individuals.
Never forget that if you get a medium to serious case of covid-19 you will probably survive as a person with some difficulty breathing or other health problems for the rest of your life.
- it's useful for an individual to understand the scope and scale of deaths when asked to return to large gatherings at work because a govt official says so.imbecile
- I know someone who had medium to serious and he hasn’t been able to lie down for two monthsSlashPeckham
- @SlashPeckham there's an illustrator friend of mine, who had it, early 40's. She's had some heart complications since recovering. The lasting effects seem scaryPhanLo
- @imbecile I don’t disagree with you. But I will say that death is not what you should be trying to avoid.********
- Your focus should be not getting it at all, and not spreading it to others. Even if the mortality rate is one day low...********
- I had it and pneumonia at the end of March. I’d say I’m 95% better now. Just a little short of breath from time to time. Hopefully I’ll be back to 100% soon.Chimp
- nb, i travel. I want to know it all. deaths, hot spots, infection rates. It's all being underreported anyway. us govt isn't interested in helping.imbecile
- the way i see it, the more i know, the safer I am. i am not a fan of willful ignorance.imbecile
- A few extra steps to keep yourself safe. Is well worth it in the long run. Surviving Covid and having a compromised system for the rest of your life.BH26
- Is it worth it? Was sad to hear Ron English came down with it. He’s better now but will probably not paint with aerosols anymore / large pieces. Respirators.BH26
