"It's no worse than the flu".
When people say that, aside from it being crazy, I have to wonder if they've ever actually had the actual flu? Like taken a flu test and confirmed. I have had the actual flu twice in my life and both time I thought to myself "this is how I die". It suuuuuuuuuuuuuucked. I couldn't breathe. I was so weak I couldn't even roll over. Every part of my body hurt. My HAIR hurt. All I could do was lay there on the couch and moan. My dog was whining to go outside and I was home alone. I somehow managed to get off the couch...the backdoor was about 15' away from the couch. Next thing I knew, I was on my knees clutching the door knob. I had passed out, crawled to the door and dragged myself somewhat upright via the knob. I don't remember crawling to the door...or back to the couch...or calling DH at work crying for him to come home.
If it's even kind of a chance of being like that, no freakin' thank you.
Yes the flu makes me feel like the room is spinning. I cannot move. It makes me feel like I will never be normal again.
The thing is, there are rapid tests and Tamiflu and a vaccine. We don’t have any of that for Covid. That’s why the flu comparison makes me livid.
