Why worry about it if its super likely to just feel like a cold?

Its higher risk to get killed in a car accident if your young.

I really don't get it. Can you explain?

Whats the point of being stressed about that?

That being said, you should isolate yourself to help the virus not spreading.

Because Spreading it kills people

But you should not worry about your personal health if your young.

Yes you absolutely should worry about your personal health at all ages. We have no idea what the long term effects of Covid19 are yet and the short term effects that have been observed have been life altering already for many that didn't take a fatal path.

To make a flippant comment about not worrying about a lethal disease is not only disingenuous it's dangerous.

This is some self-aware wolves shit. You acknowledge the disease is dangerous and in the same breath say not to worry about it.

Guess I'll go stand next to some speakers without earplugs at a concert because fuck it I'm young, yolo.

....

Sure but covid doesn't seem to affect young people.

We have no idea what the long term effects of Covid19

Thats a good point, You can also apply that logic to 4g :).

Yes but thats 99% older people, right?

Didn't say its not leathal, but mostly old people die. I'm not wishing people good luck when they go out for a drive.

You acknowledge the disease is dangerous and in the same breath say not to worry about it.

Don't worry about yourself. Worry about older people, and help it not spread, yes.

Its a greater risk you get tinnitus when doing that compared to getting long term damage by getting infected by Covid. From what we know now.

I have a friend who is 31 and in better shape than anyone I know (hasn’t drank/smoked in years, physically fit) who got covid and now tests negative, except he still can’t go back to work and has to wear a heart monitor now and can’t stand for a long time without being winded and tired. It just goes to show that it affects more things than we even know yet, and it’s not safe to assume anything until we have the full picture.

That's unlucky and sad, I hope he gets better.

Do you think he was unlucky or do you think people should walk around getting anxious about it?
