Comment on Ask HN: Have you had Covid? How bad was it?

Comments

I have not, but know many people who have. Many of them had mild symptoms that barely impacted them. Others were wiped out for days, or sometimes weeks, and one notable friend who had long-haul symptoms for a year. And we know 4 people who died.

The odds are that you'll have a mild case and it won't be a big deal. But the other end of those odds is death. So personally, I don't worry much about whether I get it, but I do try to follow the guidance for masking and distancing to help prevent spreading it for the sake of those who end up on the bad end of statistics.
