Hey there, old rocker
Love your handle!
I don't think that you did anything wrong at all.
Back in the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic (which took the life of my great uncle), the highest mortality rate was among the young, healthy people (18-25 yrs old). Some scientists speculate that those young people had such good immune systems that it was their bodies' strong effort to eliminate the virus that actually killed them-- something like their lungs got too filled up with some good thing.
Others speculate that that age group hadn't been exposed to similar viruses, like the older people had. But that doesn't explain why younger than 18 year olds survived better.
It's a hundred years later and science, to my knowledge, still isn't 100% certain about the 1918 flu. I guess we will have to wait a long time, if ever, to know what the heck this Covid is all about. Not a very satisfying situation for us, but a realistic one, I think. In my opinion, anyone who claims to have all the answers about Covid is either a liar or a fool. It's been hard to live with all of the uncertainty, hasn't it?

My grandmother actually witnessed and remembered the 1918 Flu epidemic. And she told me about it. It hit Philadelphia really hard. The local government wouldn't cancel a WW 1 parade, so a lot of people got exposed and sick and died. There are a lot of interesting books about it.

Hi Annwoodmayo:

Thank you for such an articulate response.

I am sorry that your great uncle was taken a century ago far too early from the family.

Not only for myself but for any open-minded person on the planet, I hope the day comes when we have 100 percent facts about Covid. As mentioned, it was such a reverse to what I have been blessed to have been through the past 15 years.

To go from one fever and 2 sick days every 365 to the hospital, could shake up anyone.

You and family have the best 2024 ever and the finest health.

Thank you,
Old Rocker
