Get over it. COVID is a lot more minor than anyone made out to be. Have you not had it yet? You will if you haven’t. And then you will get over it like a cold. COVID is over for good.

Don't be so dense. Maybe for you it was fine but my dad has never been the same since, and he had covid 18 months ago.

I'm young(ish), fit and healthy and I was ill for 6 weeks. I don't know how you could be unaware of its effects after all this time.

This is one of the most out of touch comments I have read

The people who survived unscathed appear to be doing well

Yeah, okay. Read the Cochrane review.

I guess Lemmy is filled with a bunch of folk that like to live in a pandemic dystopian state. Fuck that. I love people’s faces and read the fucking science on it.

Except for the million that died.

Nonsense, it is a novel virus, effects can vary widely. I got it for the first time last Christmas and my heart still hasn't recovered, dizzy spells after climbing stairs or bending over.

Covid put my healthy 26 yo friend in hospital when he caught it last year, and I have friends who took several years of suffering before they recovered from long covid. It's definitely not as harmless as you're implying.
