If you get COVID it’s probably going to suck. And you have a chance of suffering long-term. There’s also a chance you’ll get seriously ill and die—though the risk is greatly reduced by vaccines.
Simply put: Avoid getting COVID. Because it sucks. Not getting infected is the best way to avoid the health risks that come with COVID. You’re not missing out by being safe.
Wear a high-quality mask (N95, KN95) in public and avoid indoor spaces that aren’t well ventilated. You don’t have to get it.
