If you’re all healthy death is unlikely. Just try to stay healthy - get enough sleep, try to eat well. My friend was telling me the other day that fermented foods are supposed to be good for covid, he specifically mentioned kefir.

Anyone who eats kefir will, at some point, specifically mention kefir though.

Barring that, anyone hear any Epic G*mer Tips on not how to have your body permanently damaged by Covid?

If you can afford it, take vitamin D supplements. They won’t cure it but they may mitigate some of the damage.

Getting it once, if you’ve been vaccinated, will probably not be too bad. Odds are you’ll be fine. But you’re basically playing russian roulette with your health every infection, and reinfections will accumulate damage (hopefully minor if you don’t get very sick). And with new variants you can be reinfected shortly after clearing the virus. Health authorities have basically been in denial about the threat of reinfections.

Health authorities in the West. It’s important to remember there are countries that didn’t go “lol that’s too hard, fuck it”. China’s death count is still at less than 6k.

Rough figures, 5% chance of at least 1 person being hospitalized, 25% chance of at least one person having long covid. Maybe a little less if you’re all vaccinated.
