What is so scary about getting Covid?

What is the big deal if I get it?

It’s a version of the common cold. The symptoms are that of the common cold - sneezing, coughing, slight fever, sore throat, fatigue.

I have a 99.6% chance of surviving.

So why should I be concerned?

It is a novel virus. Little is known about the infection and illness that is know as Covid-19.

I believe many people will be in for a surprise over the short to mid-term about the virus and how it unpackages itself.

The scariest part of COVID, is the overreaction attached to it. Worse is coming, though-like, mandatory vaccines.

Its mostly the permanent lung damage that will affect me in the future im worried about, that and since its so new we dont know the long term effects.

Also the fact that its man made isnt that great either.

Stop being a bitch and find a covid patient to have a covid party with and report back *******

Good luck with your permanent lung damage goals of 2020.

And also, COVID-19 infection does not create lasting antibodies. Studies after studies show that people lose antibodies after 3+ months, in which case you get get infected again.

Also, studies find there are increased risks of blood clots, brain aneurysms, strokes, etc, etc.

No thx jeff

Nothing if you’re younger than 50. If you’re older, obese, and/or have co-morbidities probably a lot scarier.

Were the lungs that were affected, have any pre-existing conditions or smokers if any sort - weed, cigarettes, cigars?


You’re not losing antibodies. You’ll always have those antibodies. Covid will just mutate so those particular antibodies won’t be as effective. You know, like every other single cold or flu.

In reality she was probably overweight with pre-existing conditions that she may or may not have been aware of.

So they had it but are alive since they’re still posting.

Obviously since they’re able to post it can’t be in the same realm as a crippling disease like polio.

Do you really believe many on the misc have had it?

I doubt it. The misc is full of all talk and no play. Only a handful of actual miscers are out there and have gone through the journey so far.

I will tell you that labeling someone as recovered now is premature.

Source: Tier 1 Intelligence and not full of **** like most of the children on here.

My favorite covid survivor miscer in that regard is LinuxJon. He tested positive for antibodies but the last time he got sick was November; therefore, according to him, the standard timeline about Covid not getting here until Jan 2020 is a false narrative.

Got it in March right after lockdown. Retested after 10 days. Was basically a fairly severe cold for me. Lost sense of taste mostly, fever, night sweats and fatigue. Got over it in about 5 days, so did my gf.

Cases are going up and the fatality rate is dropping which should tell you what you need to know. It was fine to lock down at first as it's a novel virus but after now it's pretty clear that it's not the killer virus it was portrayed out to be

I say that it all started in early-to-mid January. A great start to the year indeed.

How are you feeling now? Are you in a state with lock down? If so, you are probably feeling ok and recovered. Don't get too comfortable with the Covid-19 just because you already had it... jus sayin

Surviving is just one aspect. Got a friend who caught it. Woke up friday (this past friday) feeling a little sick. Saturday the fever came. Sunday, he could barely breath on his own and he said it felt like a grown man sitting on his chest. He was released on tuesday but you need to rethink life if your only concern with COVID issurviving. Imagine if the Jews took this approach to the holocaust

It is too early to tell whether they have escaped the Covid-19. It could be a long-term dormant virus that wreaks havoc on your system after many years. Heck, no one knows and is why people are cautious.

That’s what I’ve thought. Like what if deep down the real damage is long term. Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

sure, it could wipe out the human race too, we dont know. it could end up turning people into zombies after being dormant for years, we dont know. should we base our decisions on what if or what is?
