Harsh wake up call...

And the one day my sister felt safe not wearing a mask is the day she caught COVID. She has become a believer in wearing masks. She suffered at home for a couple of weeks. Thankfully, like your friend, she survived the trauma. Don’t lose hope. It’s like wearing sunscreen: Enjoy life, just wear protection so you don’t get burned as much, if you can avoid it. I’m so glad your friend is okay. I hope she does not have major side effects

Your right ,I had a friend go thru that s as me thing last January. But they had no idea about COVID then.
She made it but her lungs are damaged.
I hope your friend comes out ok. The good thing is the natural immunity will protect her more than any vaccine

Sorry about your friend but what you say is true even vaccinated youre still at risk

If there is any fat on waist that is a very good indicator that it might pull you into moderate to severe illness due to COVID. I have seen this correlation everywhere. Being fully vaccinated does not mean that your antibodies did develop, there is like a 70% chance of it.

That's scary

There is no infallible way of avoiding Covid unless you avoid all human contact. The vaccines are very good but they're not 100% effective and there are people with preexisting vulnerability which increases their odds of getting covid even with two vaccinations. It's really a lottery, where the odds are low but someone will win (or in this case lose).
