My vaxxed roommate brought it home and infected me and our other housemate.
Patient zero thought he just had a cold and kept going to work, running out shopping, and taking his fat ass to pick up orders from restaurants.
My second roommate is acting like she's had the flu a few days. Her back had been killing her and she says her throat was swollen past few days.
I've had a bothersome throat for two days but still waiting for it to hit. Not very impressive from my perspective either.
Yeah, the fatass woman of our group got it by far the worst, just like this other family I know. They were all hospitalized. In our circle, only the fat woman and the scrawny gamer teen got it rough; the working men mostly shrugged it off.
I have a bit of a theory, as well: It's not just physical shape that determines how bad it is, but mental as well. Those scared of it just seem to get it worse. Maybe mind over matter.
There is certainly some placebo effects going on. Some people LOVE playing up when they're ill so they can be babies.
I recently started getting my vitamin levels up. I was deficient in vitamin D a few months back. So far I have a sore throat, but my other roommates got wiped out pretty fast. I'll see how it goes in the next few days, but maybe making sure your blood levels are in a healthy range has a lot to do with it too. My doctor told me majority of people are vitamin D deficient.
