That's so fucking sad. That's one thing that people don't realize about Covid. It's not just life or death. It can also result in permanent disability. It can cause massive clotting leading to strokes, heart attacks, deep vein thrombosis which can lead the limb amputation. It's no joke.

That’s rough, poor guy. It’s so enraging that there are anti- everything activists out there claiming that Covid is not that big a deal. Aside from the deaths, there are millions of people whose lives have been destroyed because they will have serious, debilitating life long medical complications. But whatever, it’s just like a bad cold, right? Natural immunity!

That’s super frightening to hear. My sister has been extremely strict about her interactions, to the point that sometimes it seems over the top, but she’s worried about the potential of long COVID, as well as being afraid of what could potentially come up much later in life, after you’re thought to be all healed, and she’s not wrong. This just proves her point.

I hope he’s able to recover, I would be so scared.

I wish more people were like your sister, for sure we wouldn't be as fucked if they were.
