29. There is no "rule of thumb" with COVID

Aug 27

Of all viruses, COVID-19 is one of the most unpredictable as to how severe or mild a case may be in a particular person, regardless of age. That is why vaccination is critical.

I have a firsthand observation of this. My MIL is in her 90s and vaccinated. She contracted COVID a few months ago and had a mild case. A friend of mine was in her 40s, healthy and athletic, with no pre-existing conditions. She wasn't vaccinated because all the misinformation terrified her. Her family was vaccinated, but she was the only one who wasn't. The entire family contracted COVID. Her family (husband and 3 children) had mild cases; she died.

Being under 65 with no pre-existing conditions doesn't spare you from death or long COVID. Stupid, stupid, STUPID! RJK Jr. is going to have blood on his hands just like he has for the measles outbreak in Samoa in 2019, which killed 83 people.
