Your sir, are a special kind of stupid.
Because I decide my own risk/reward profile and consider it negligible? Playing around with my physiology is a hobby of mine, the virus was just one more test. From day one I accepted that I'm going to catch it, just like most people in the world.
I wanted to see for example how easily it is to catch if you ignore all safety precautions - took me months. Also wanted to see how well Ibudilast, a PDE4 inhibitor I take daily, works against the symptoms. It worked so well that it took me a few days to even notice I was sick, and not just useless.
There always has to be at least one that won't acknowledge how dangerous the virus is and then consequently get sick.
Presumably, you are still at the age where you could shake it off.
And I hope for your sake that you continue to be able to shake it off.
But maybe you should think about tempting fate every so often?
So was your getting it confirmed by a test? Or having to be treated?
And while you had it, did you at least bother to prevent spreading it?
People love saying how dangerous this virus is, calling it random. The problem is that some of the risk factors are not talked about. eg. Vitamin D levels and Insulin resistance. IR is not something many people measure, and just because your blood glucose is normal doesn't mean anything. You can look fit, while your poor pancreas are working overtime.
I, like many people I know, will not get tested. We are not going to give the government any data to justify their lockdown measures with. But 3 people who was in very close proximity for a weekend, that get the same covid specific symptoms, like a total loss of smell and taste, I count as pretty good circumstantial evidence.
By the time I figured I was sick and not just useless we were in the mountains, no one I could really spread it to.
The media loves stories where someone thinks covid is a joke, gets it, and then either die or get very sick so they can have a headline like "I thought covid was a joke and I nearly died from it". Those are the outliers. Most people who thinks its a joke and gets sick, don't nearly die from it, I'm just here to post that side of the experience too.
Generally I don't even think of the virus anymore, the people I work with and places I go are mostly mask-free friendly. Here I may have a few posts in the covid threads, but in my daily life it just warrant much of my attention.
