Anti-vax friend has COVID. It doesn't sound like she'll end up in the hospital. She's complaining

[brewens]

about the headache she's had for a week. Says it's really bad. No one saw that coming! LOL

The headaches and loss of taste and smell are two things making me determined to duck it. That has freaked me out from the start. Risk getting something that messes with your senses and brain like that? How likely is it there will be something else weird that shows up, or maybe starts with a new variant?

1. I suspect she's in denial about how bad this might get.

And I also suspect that her awareness or vision regarding COVID is not nearly as well-defined as yours.

2. The possibility of long covid & potential brain damage are what scare me the most.

3. Same.

I don’t have the heart or lungs for it.

4. I have to go to the dentist

today and I’m freaked out about that.

6. I don't blame you. I changed my six-week post op appt. to a telehealth so I don't

have to go in. It was a total right knee. I have it in good shape so it's no big deal. Can't do it with a dental problem though. I had to have some work done 08/20 and wasn't happy about it with no vaccination or anything. at least you got that covered.

5. It can start out not so bad but she can still end up in the hospital

An acquaintance of mine didn't end up going to the hospital until 3 weeks and ended up 8 days on a ventilator. Had spoke to him through text and he thought he could get through it, even though he felt like shit. Nope, it was just getting started.

7. I was just thinking about that because of hearing of a couple stories where people thought they

were out of the woods and ended up dying.
