There are so many people I come across now think of this as a cold, perhaps a bad one in the worse case. They have had it at least once to 3 times so there's nothing more that can be done in their minds.
My gf has had it 2 years in a row and I've dodged it there too.
I'm being told I'm a unicorn now as I'm the only one in my circles that hasn't had it yet.
Then I see the numbers above like this and recall almost 3000 died in 9/11 and how many were so moved by those senseless deaths which lead to a million more senseless civilian deaths while domestically these Rona numbers happening weekly, and there's nothing that can be done in a way worse than the lack of action for gun violence against children.
At least there are thoughts and prayers to be applied for gun violence. We won't even think of this minimum for those that have died from Rona..
Food for thought: you may very well have had Covid, multiple times. Plenty of people have no, or extremely minor, symptoms. My son has had Covid twice and both times his ONLY symptom was a bit of a stomach upset. We only found out he had Covid by sheer coincidence.
If only there were some sort of rapid covid test you could take to check instead of just headcanoning whether or not you have covid.
A lot of the rapid tests had problems with false negatives, no?
