This is a novel virus that attacks our lungs and nervous system. We still know very little about long term effects, even if you aren't injury in the short term.
Also, not getting severely ill yourself doesn't mean someone else won't get sick from you. Please be careful.
I can't believe people still only look at the headline mortality figures. My partner is young, fit and in her 20s and she caught it (despite taking every best precuation)
6 months later she still isn't back to herself - gets out of breath, no sense of taste and insists her creative forces just don't fire the same way they used to
This is a fucking scary disease and to see so many people be blase about it is pathetic.
I agree. I'm not someone who is high risk of dying from COVID, but I know a few people who still have long term symptoms months after. No way would I want to put my long term QoL at risk to go out to eat or to a bar.
Everyone also saw hundreds of professional players getting positive tests, being asymptomatic and continuing to play at the highest level. I am all in favour of the vaccine (and will take it asap) but the most pathetic thing here is thinking that you will change anyone's opinion by referring to anecdotal evidence, or that someone is pathetic by not doing so. If you really want to contribute positively try to show people proper scientific evidence and don't insult them.
> In a young, low-risk population with ongoing symptoms, almost 70% of individuals have impairment in one or more organs four months after initial symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
> The five children with potential long COVID had a median age of 12 years (range 9–15) and four were girls. They had symptoms for 6–8 months after their clinical diagnoses of COVID‐19. None were hospitalised at diagnosis, but one was later admitted for peri‐myocarditis. All five children had fatigue, dyspnoea, heart palpitations or chest pain, and four had headaches, difficulties concentrating, muscle weakness, dizziness and sore throats. Some had improved after 6–8 months, but they all suffered from fatigue and none had fully returned to school.
Are you sure of what you're talking? A lot of football (not handegg) fans were literally talking a lot about the lackluster Premier League performance of a lot of stars who caught Covid.

All they do is regulate the flow of new money, they aren't responsible for tax codes that ensure a widening gap of wealth via the return on capital vs the return on labor.
They affect the inflation rate and inflation should be thought of as a tax. And its a tax that primarily affects middle class people that keep their wealth in cash rather than assets.
They also implicitly affect asset prices which is probably one of the primary causes of wealth inequality.
This game was not meant to be played on > 10 year old hardware. That's no excuse they shouldn't have released it at all on ps4, but still what did you expect ?
> Trump derangement syndrome. Anything he touches must automatically be reversed.
Interesting projection, as everything Obama did good or bad had to be gone. I don't think Biden will do the same thing, as some Trump policies must be beneficial in some ways.
The (valid) criticism of "Twitter doesn't moderate their platform worth a damn either" runs into the law of scale. Youtube had just as much copyrighted materials as others, they were big enough to deflect calls to remove them. Twitter, same thing.
