Longtime co-worker and friend caught Covid last week. Isolated at home since. Had been telling all of us he was doing fine and planned on coming back to work at the end of this week or beginning of next week at the latest. Got a call from his Wife this evening. He'd been lying the whole time. She took him to their local hospital (he commutes WAY in for work) after he passed out. Guess he'd been throwing up for days and was severely dehydrated and his O2 levels are super low, been having problems "keeping" his breath. They transferred him to a larger hospital about an hour away shortly after. Hopefully just precautionary.

What a mess. Hopefully he just needs to get set right and back on the right track to recover.

This reminds me of my grandfathers generation when it was never manly to seek medical help. In the meantime they would put a lot of energy into having a brave face.

it sucks to have someone go through that when they didn't need to

The shot isn’t the great savior it was made out to be. Years and years of making bad life decisions don’t magically go away with a shot.

I hope most people wake up and start taking better care of themselves. Better diets, less drinking, less prescription drugs etc...you can’t “mask” that stuff forever. But I bet people keep being the pigs they are. At the end of the day health is super low on most people’s priority lists.

years and years? You can be in great shape and this virus will still kick your ass. Do you even know what kind of shape this dude is actually in?

getting the shot would have helped his body fight it and likely would have kept him out of the hospital.

Maybe, maybe not. The great majority of people getting hospitalized have existing health issues. The best thing anybody can do right now is get their act together physically. Less alcohol, less fat, less sugar, more exercise etc...

If people are doing none of that and just getting a shot and continue to live life the same way thinking they’ll be ok they’re mistaken.

How long was he in for? His wife sounded like the bigger concern, I didn't even realize from your story that he had been hospitalized. Was she relatively healthy before COVID as well?

They can do both get their health in line AND get the vaccine. Getting the vaccine is easy and won't hurt you. Getting healthy takes.time, if it is even possible.

Getting the shot still helps and could keep them from having to go on a ventilator if they get COVID.

Is this your shitty sales pitch to potential customers? Basically fear mongering them into giving you money?

Yes.

And don't get old, either.

Ya but most just do one. And it’s being pitched that way too. People (especially lefties) are lazy and always looking for that magical quick fix band aid without really doing anything hard.

There was a pretty old guy that was able to beat covid without a vaccination last year.

I remember when a certain someone was “unfit for office!” then beat Covid like a cheap hooker who stole his wallet, no problem.

The whole covid agenda is still reeling from that quick recovery.

how do you even tie those two things together?

do you consider him to be "fit" and "healthy"?
