Difficult topic: Do you wish you got covid already?

[jelly baby]

Is anyone tired of waiting?

Would it be better to get covid, face your potential death, and if you live be satisfied that you beat the thing.

The constant waiting and waiting...

... every blown tissue is another wait.
........................................................... Then nothing.
...... every headache I get is another wait.
.................................................................. Then nothing.

It's like the SWORD OF DAMOCLES over my head.

Nope, there are adverse after-effects after you recover. Now there are reports covid can lead to heart defects.

 

[shack]

Easy topic. And the answer is "NO".

 

[yomero5]

No

No, i'm acting responsibly, safely & sanely until (hopefully) a vaccine arrives next year & or better treatments are available or "herd immunity" is otherwise achieved.

Considering it's still unclear how long antibodies/immunity lasts...

I haven't been outside for two weeks. The last time was October 14th.

I still woke up blowing my nose and I have a very slight headache and fever.

It's the proof these masks and hand washing don't work.

Sickness is with us forever.

Umm.. no.
I'd rather not get it at all.

Interesting. Your door has not opened in all that time? Nobody has come in and out at all? You've seen nobody at your door? No packages delivered? No pets?

Probably already had it like many others and don't even realize it.
Unless you are testing weekly you can't be sure.

The weak should fear the strong!

Yes.

I had a stockpile of food from before, plus I bought food when going out - around 6 days worth.

I still have enough pasta to go for about a week more.

Then I'm screwed.
