I caught it at my Dr's at my 6 week postnatal appointment. ICU for 3 days, heavily intubated, because I was still weak from birth and postpartum. I had to be resuscitated. Lost my milk supply, which was devastatingwhen i got to fi ally hold my baby again and she wanted to nurse. Had to be on oxygen at home for weeks. My family was anti vax before that, but it changed them. People can change when faced with reality. They don't always, but don't lose faith in humanity. Many do learn

As an undertaker I hear covid theories all the time “ it was just a cover up to scare us” or it was a plot to kill off all the venerable to ease pressure on medical services along with other utter guff, I watched hundreds of deceased be collected from hospitals and put straight into a coffin that was immediately sealed, no family visits and not even dressed in their own clothes, covid is real and it does kill, don’t let anyone try to tell you otherwise

Ugh. I still have anxiety around people. I find myself still holding my breath near people. My dear partner has been in the medical field for 8+ years now, in the administrative end, but he's very often working directly with patients. 2020, covid inevitably hit the facility he was at. He had to take care of people because so many nurses were out sick themselves. He had to move deceased people. When I hear people denying it or claiming it's not real it makes my blood boil. My most beloved has trauma for life and SO many poor people have lost their lives, covid was such a nightmare for so many 💔

Same. Covid at the start and just getting over it now. Years apart. First bout lasted a few months with symptoms coming and going. This time three weeks. I'm not going to leave anything to chance. I wish the nonvaxxed the best of luck.

Wife is immune compromised, caught it on the second wave when people weren't getting their second dose and refused to wear a mask. Now, she has the long covid, she couldn't work anymore and is on disability. She's extremely intelligent and it hurts to see her everyday in bed too tired to do anything. We kayak, swim and bike on her good days to try to get better but nothing is working. Doctors try to help but long covid is still a mystery. Our daughter is about to start college and we can't afford it anymore. If my wife weren't vaccinated she would be dead by now. Thanks, science deniers for ruining our life!

1,104,000 Americans died from COVID thanks to 45's inactions and his cult believing it was a hoax. It still boils my blood that man is allowed to walk around continually spewing his hatred and divisive remarks and his cult continues to follow blindly.

I have a cousin that's 83 now and still doesn't believe she had it 2 yrs ago. Nancy...if you had a positive Corona test you had Corona! I'm a medical scheduler and we STILL get calls every day from people that have positive home tests calling for appts to get meds for it. It's not going away any time soon people if ever.

I'm asthmatic but fortunately in good shape. I caught COVID in early March 2020 when there were allegedly 131 cases in France, just a week before the authorities shut down the whole country. I felt like s**t. My head hurt like if I had spent a week in Ibiza listening to loud music and drinking. I was so tired I couldn't stay up more than 30 minutes, then a 2 hour nap. Very fortunately I didn't have fever nor lung dysfunction but my chest hurt so much like if a truck had hit me. It lasted 2 weeks like this, then 1 month feeling like my brain was liquid and numb and a very mild fever that never went away. Perspiring all night, sheets always wet. I never went to the doctor, I just spoke to him at the phone. He didn't want me to go outside in that state. 'Just call emergency line if you feel shortness of breeze'.

6'5" tattooed buff guy here, lol. My cousin died from covid, and that's all I have to say to people spitting conspiratorial BS about covid being a hoax. I throw in an aggressive "What. Say something." stare for free. I've found that when people meet someone who had someone close to them die from covid, they can no longer do their special type of idiotic mental gymnastics.

The stupidest thing i heard was the covid vaccine was dangerous but go get your flu shot! THE SAME INGREDIENTS EXCEPT FOR THE VIRUS!! So dtupid people are!!

My sister died of it last October, 2023

My Dad currently has covid, and went to hospital. People still dont belive me #InMostStupidStateIdaho

Idiots. All of em.

I have a coworker who on her second say asked me if I had one or two shots. I told her I had five. She told me I would become a robot🤦 she's a conspiracy theorist and said a lot of dumb s**t, but that was the moment when I lost it and told her to just f*****g stop ..

I had covid February 2023. Still having issues from it. Before, I could go on hikes, play outside in the heat, pretty much was a very physical person. Now, I can barely walk up stairs or clean my tiny apartment without my heart racing or being out of breath. Plus there is a possibility that covid triggered POTS so waiting to get testing done, but don't have insurance right now and cardiologists are expensive. I am only 38. I should be able to run around outside with my son during the summer. But now, even just going to the store or even the mailbox two buildings over makes me weak from the heat. And I live in the freaking Nevada desert, so it's hot out. Can't wait for the cold.

A guy my husband worked with lost his Mom to COVID and while he was in the midlle of planning her funeral, his Dad died. Don't even try to tell me it was a "hoax", you f*cking ignorant MAGA Moron synchophants.

We were super quarantined in my family due to a family member who couldn't get the shot (a recent transplant) for more than a year. The rest of us were all vaccinated. Still, my dad and I both got COVID last year. It killed him. And then I got it again this year and was sick for two weeks and nearly had to be hospitalized. COVID is no joke.

A friend's daughter is a nurse, usually on a surgery ward. So she's used to maybe one patient a month dying. During the pandemic her ward was a covid ward, she went away for a weekend. When she came back 30% of the ward's patients had died in 2 1/2 days. Before any vaccines were available another friend died. I saw photos of her daughter's face at the funeral that none of us could attend. Yes I mentally slap the deniers.

I wish every single anti vaxer would get the worst case of COVID they can get without dying. . If this doesn't change their mind, I don't know what will.

People who believe covid doesn't exist must explain it to my very real patients who tested positive and are quarantined in the hospital i work in. Covid is not only real, it hasn't gone away either.

My daughter caught it (she's in her early 40's) and it morphed into long COVID. She went from normal to having a gluten and dairy allergy, without any family history. Her doctors say the virus damaged her digestive system. She was part of a study on Long Covid at Mayo Clinic going once a month for tests. 4 years after contracting it finally healed and she can eat both gluten and dairy. As Wu-Tang said, COVID is nothing to f*** with.

Had Covid, got the t-shirt, literally, and yes... I saw someone die from Covid in the opposite hospital bed from me, I know her name, remember the time, date... I almost died myself. It is not a death that I would wish on anyone. I saw some truly horrific things during that time in hospital... Then you can be left with 'Survivor Guilt'... "Why did I live when so many others died? What's so special about me?"... So... I'm with the OP... When you're faced with Anti-Vaxxers and Anti-Maskers and Deniers? You HAVE to walk away... Leave it. They'll never come out of their black hole of ignorance... One now ex-friend was posting all this propaganda about Covid, anti-vaccine propaganda, denying it happened but then claiming she'd had it... All while I was in hospital with Covid. I meanwhile was consenting to help find a faster testing method, samples of my blood, urine, poop, even vomit were taken for analysis and study of Covid-19. I've taken part in further studies of how Covid-19 affected m

They could have told him he had SARS-CoV-2.

You don't believe in Covid? Vaccinations? Your choice but stay home when you get sick. It doesn't matter to me if you have really good insurance. Do you know how insurance companies work? When they have to pay, they raise rates, and we all pay. Just. Stay. Home.

Covid was a real eye opener

Nothing for those who politicized COVID. I wouldn’t cross the road to p**s on them if they were on fire.

Totally understandable!!

Beside the head? So, the air?🤔

COVID gave my 32 yr old sister a heart attack. she had NO prior health issues.

I know it exists, the stats don't lie, the deaths are there, I just feel like the AMOUNT OF PEOPLE KILLED (not what you could possibly get from it) was overexaggerated. My family all had it, and it was...bad, but not that bad for us. Two years after, this year, we all got flu A and I got bacterial pneumonia with it. I would much rather deal with the covid I got than that
