So Covid is no big deal for those under 50? I have talked to a few who recovered. They said it was pure hell for a month.

Effects people differently. Im 66 and it was no worse than the common cold.

Not as far as fatality rate is concerned, no.

Weak effort even for you which is saying something...When you can' t combat facts you resort to the standard anecdotal response. Classic liberal wimp retort. Page 1 of your playbook.

I know I'm the long covid guy, so I will continue to remind people that death is not the only significantly negative outcome from having covid.

Hopefully the New England Journal of Medicine is a sufficiently unbiased source for everyone on the Chat.

"Now that more than half of U.S. adults have been vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2, masking and distancing mandates have been relaxed, and Covid-19 cases and deaths are on the decline, there is a palpable sense that life can return to normal. Though most Americans may be able to do so, restoration of normality does not apply to the 10% to 30% of those who are still experiencing debilitating symptoms months after being infected with Covid-19.1 Unfortunately, current numbers and trends indicate that “long-haul Covid” (or “long Covid”) is our next public health disaster in the making."

Don't deny long covid but you have to admit its a bit vague...10-30% is a huge range and as we have discussed what constitutes long covid and what is the threshold for acceptance? Feeling crappy for a month? I call that life.
We have to get back to normal. We will never be zero covid.
