>>12262473>oh look it's this shit againlisten buddy: it's a fucking crapshoot, Russian Roulette all the way down.
Some people just have the COOF COOF COOF for a week or two then they're more or less okay
Some people get so fucked up by it that they have to go to the hospital, get a ventilator tube shoved down their trachea because their lungs are so fucked that they can't breathe on their own.
Some people get it so bad it kills them.
There is a complete spectrum between the extremes.
NO ONE KNOWS HOW IT WILL AFFECT THEM
THAT IS WHY YOU DON'T WANT TO FUCK AROUND WITH IT
I got lucky, mainly because I'm physically fit to start with (not fat, not weak, excellent endurance, etc) when I had it back in late February. Went straight into my lungs, no sore throat, no sinus problems to speak of. I still had to use a nebulizer once, and it took two full weeks to completely get over it -- then six weeks to feel something like 'normal' again, training-wise. So I'm saying: I was a relatively MILD case but it still kicked my ass in weird ways nothing else ever has. Plus, I really don't feel 100% the same, not really, I don't have as much endurance in the heat, and I'm tired more often (although that may be just general stress and anxiety from the world being fucked up).
But there are people who were perfectly healthy, above-average even, who DIED of the fucking thing. YOU CAN'T KNOW.
