so your pov is more valid than anyone else's? interesting.
Nope. My story is just as useless as every other anecdote when it comes to evaluating the truth of something like this. The point is to provide a neutral voice in contrast to the fearful one.

He never had covid to anyone's knowledge, atleast he never took any time off for it and never showed symptoms. All we know is he was vaccinated, went to the gym, was energetic at work, and died in his sleep. I was just making a point that covid related anecdata exists on all sides. In response to the guy above me giving out his singular anecdata point. Edit: also, I had met the guy 3 years ago and talked for 10+ minu…
Then there was an implication? That the anecdote isn't representative of what is actually happening? Stop being coy.
I wasn't implying that covid is fake or the vaccine is harmful, although I have my own reservations. The point was singular data points exist on both sides.

How is this anecdote COVID-related? I feel like I'm missing something, unless this is some sort of shaggy dog story. EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaggy_dog_story
Ps, that post was more about a girl shagging a dog.. it was a short hair dog, not shaggy.
Edit: not fair you putting the explanation of what a shaggy dog story was. Ha.
I thought it was in reference to a post of mine from yesterday about a girl on POF I discovered gross pictures of right before a date.

I've had it and everyone I know has had it (now in the dozens), including a number of elderly people. Everyone is fine. I recovered in a week, and out of literally dozens of people, I've not met anyone who took longer than that. I'm sorry about your dad, but let's not exaggerate based on personal anecdotes. The stories that get upvoted are the ones that scare people.
What's crazier is that if you run in circles of the unvaccinated, you almost think it's all in everyone's head. I mentioned earlier I work in a company where almost no one got vaccinated. We're somewhat customer facing, but did wear masks when the state required it. Almost no one has gotten covid of any of my friends/coworkers. I've been casual as can be, never touching a hand wash squirter, going out in SF outdoor a…

It is covid vaccine related which makes it somewhat covid related. Ps, that post was more about a girl shagging a dog.. it was a short hair dog, not shaggy.

It varies. Here, it seems everybody knows somebody that died from it in the early days. Omicron seems to be a lot easier on people than the earlier versions were.
I used to joke that if you offered me $100k to go get covid, I wouldn't really know how to go get it.

Article references a study saying 50% of people haven't fully recovered after a few months. Whats the exaggeration? Still hundreds of people dying a day from covid in the US which is 4X higher than the flu for comparison.

That makes sense. All the COVID prevention steps everyone took would prevent other diseases as well.
> I've been casual as can be, never touching a hand wash squirter, going out in SF outdoor and indoor dining if they didn't check,
I don't know why people are proud about not washing their hands. That was gross pre-Covid too.
> Almost no one has gotten covid of any of my friends/coworkers
Alternatively, you and your friends are fairly young, caught it, were somewhat asymptomatic, and spread it to everyone you met. After all, you don't seem to have tested at all.

Other note, I have many older coworkers. I'm not really in tech, although I have a decent Saas outside of work.

Here's a scary thought: everyone who's ever gotten vaccinated against COVID will die. Eventually. Just like everyone else.
Here's a scary thought more scary than your platitude. In 5-10 years, we might find that everyone that got the vaccine does die like everyone dies.. except they die several years earlier than average.

I'm not implying anything.
