Don’t think that Trump’s plague is just a problem for “Granny”. My RN son worked 60 hour weeks caring for covid patients until around Thanksgiving, when he came down with it himself. Since then he has been in the hospital with the damage to his heart and lungs that it caused. They expect he will be able to walk again around the first of March.
Those healthy young people who believe that the Trump plague is no match for their immune system need to remember several things.
1. You are infecting people when you have no symptoms at all. This includes your family and people who actually matter to other people even if they don’t to you.
2. When you overestimate your immune system, or underestimate the plague, you wind up competing for a respirator and other materials needed by those who developed the disease because they were essential workers.
3. Many viruses remain within the cells of your body. We don’t know that this is one of them, but it’s not unlikely. They wait there until your body’s immune system is no longer strong enough to keep them in check. That could happen when you are older, or in the car wreck you have next week. Then, with their new assistance, they come back in full force.
4.. You are endangering the medical workers who have to care for you and the people that you infect. They are already risking their lives. What right have you to add to their jeopardy because you need a haircut?
