I work for a large multi-national Big Law firm as an executive assistant. I am the only person in my office of 150 who is not going back to work in the office in September because I told them categorically I will not get vaxxed. So they are "making" me stay virtual! Up until now, I believed people when they said Covid was no worse than a cold or flu. But that has changed. My son got it last Saturday. He is 37. He said he was in so much pain from his toes to his head that he wished he could die. Said it was by far the most sick he has ever been in his life. He absolutely begged me to get the vaccine, which of course I won't do. Today, our pest control guy stopped by and said he had it so bad a month ago he almost went to the hospital. Had really horrendous pain and 102 fever for four days. Age 40. Still has no sense of smell or taste one month later. My daughter has a friend who is an ER doctor. He says Atlanta hospitals are full of Covid patients. He doesn't strike me as the type of person who would lie. This is my anecdotal evidence that Covid is far from over, and it's also very far from nothing. Just my two cents for people who are downplaying it, as I did up until this week.
