I've known a few people who have had COVID. The latest was a woman friend in her mid 40s. She tested positive and started getting ill but her Doctor told her to stay home unless it started affecting her breathing. She said she felt fairly bad but never felt so bad that she needed to go to the hospital.
Another is a man about 40. He said it affected his ability to taste and smell, but he never felt particularly sick,..said he had a runny nose for a few days.
I had it. I'm 52 and kind of fat, it wasn't any big deal for me, pretty much a mild cold.
I've also know about 20 others that have had it. Most of them were pretty mild like mine. A couple kind of had a rough time but recovered fine. Three died, the last one a couple of days ago. He was about 75 and pretty heavy set, his funeral is tomorrow. The other two were younger, one guy was 52-53 and in good shape, the other was a 38 year old woman with four kids and no prior health problems at all.
You pay your money and takes your chances.
