I WANT to catch COVID.

The way I see it, if I catch the disease and recover,


If that's the way you see it, then you might want to get a second opinion by a credible doctor. SMH:roll:

There are enough videos or statements out there from people who either ignored the warning (you can't make me stay home) and the people who caught it while be cautious. I think the most recent is the guy that jumped at going to a party when stay at home orders were loosened and he died the very next day.

But I do ask if he does catch it will he start a blog so we can see how it works out?

Seriously, I do.

I'm sick and ****ing tired of living this way. I'm 52 and healthy and with no underlying health conditions. The way I see it, if I catch the disease and recover, I can then freely go about my life without fear of getting it again or infecting anybody else. Fight it off while quarantining myself, wait until I'm "COVID free", and then go back to life the way it was before all of this started.

I'm in. Well worth it in my mind. What's the downside?

I've not had any type of flu since I was a kid. I don't want any kind of flu, not because it will kill me (it likely won't), but because I really don't care to feel like **** for days and weeks.

In your photo, it looks as if you are telling the Doctor, what I have CV19? :lamo

Other than lifelong consequences?

Other than dying?

Other than getting a family member killed?

Other than getting some 5 year old's parents killed?






The risk to you. Not anyone else. The risk to you. That's all that you are going to consider.

That says a whole lot.

Elaborate, Person. Show the forum just how ****ty your reading comprehension really is...

There have been some people who go berserk when told to wear a mask in a store that requires a mask.

And nonsensical. While it is not certain a person gains immunity (for which vaccines and wearing masks etc are all pointless), it is likely it does. Therefore, if he gets it and gets past it, then he will infect no one - while Person will never know if he is infecting other people or not - while refusing to totally self quarantine. Of the two of you, he is the more dangerous to others.

I was asked for the downside. I gave the downside. What should I do, pretend like some that covid is just a nice fuzzy warm hoax?

A hundred days of hell, an amputated leg and then...

Actor Nick Cordero dies after gruelling coronavirus battle

Maybe it'll go a little faster for ya, if you're over 41.

An 86 year old, I do not share your enthusiasm.

Regards, stay safe 'n well.

Being that I am retired now there is a good chance I could join you in that 30% crowd.

So far the percent who die from the virus is low but the bigger worry is possible persisting health problems. I would be particularly worried about respiratory damage.

The best we can do, is do the daily little things that shift the statistics to our good. Granted, one's employment is a big factor in that. But if you're retired or work from home, and don't have any same residence family members that are at risk, I think it's not that hard to put one's self in a position to have likelihood of being in the 30%.

When I look at how many lax & irresponsible people I see, getting into that 30% percent doesn't seem that hard (again, barring risky employment). Now that doesn't mean luck-of-the-draw doesn't factor-in; it does. But I believe we can place the odds in our favor, and that's a powerful thing.

Last I read the long term effects of CV-19 is not known as well as the effectiveness of recovering from CV-19 and future immunity one might have.

imo, the immunity you might get from recovering from the virus would be short lived and not a lifetime effect.

You nailed it! Most of the journals I've read stress the length of immunity is one of the nasty things that worries more than a few doctors. :(

Lots of things can earn you a Darwin.

It's sometimes a fine line between genius and stupidity. At this point, I'm willing to roll the dice...

1. you die
2. you don't get immunity and you get it again in a while
2a. you die
3. you recover from covid and spend the rest of your life fighting off organ failure caused by covid
3a. you die from organ failure.
4. you catch covid and pass it on to 18 other people some of whom die.

Don't forget to add that if SCOTUS tosses out the ACA he will have a had time getting healthcare or paying a lifetime extra premium because he'll have a pre-existing condition. SCOTUS will rule before the election and if the ACA is gone who knows when and if Congress will ever pass another healthcare bill

I'm not retracting anything.

I would willingly go through the COVID battle if it meant that I could go back to life the way it was for me before all of this **** started.

DEAD SERIOUS.

You're idea is so weak and ridiculous. You're not strong enough to weather the storm? You miss going out for dinner and high fiving people enough to risk your life. That is truly one of the dumbest ideas ever. Simply put...be careful what you wish for.
