I am so sorry for your loss... ((hugs))
Sending my heartfelt condolences. And thank you for the reminder.My cousin died of covid a few hours ago. She was only 40, and left behind three kids.
She was on the ICU for ten days -probably should have been there before but she was scared for being isolated in the hospital.
Take care of yourself -use your mask, don't hang out with people if you don't absolutely need to, you already know the drill. Go get tested if you are not feeling well, don't wait. She did, and now she's gone.

You're not missing anything....some people just don't care. If you felt the need, you could report it and they would all get fined.Am I missing something? Ontario is under a stay-at-home order, correct? So why is it that there is a full contact soccer game by my old high school daily with at least 20 people?? They don't have any mask on and they are all grown men. I highly doubt they are from the same household.
I know a lot of people who won't get vaccinated (myself included), and it's all for the same reason. There's no data on long term side effects. We have absolutely no idea what might happen months or years from now as a result, and with covid complications being such a low risk (95%+ survival rate and 50%+ people who get it will be asymptomatic) it's just not worth being a guinea pig.What I cannot understand is how/why people would flat out refuse to get vaccinated! There are so many who are doing so.. It is more than the anti-vaxers... and Florida really bothers me..
That's not really low risk. If someone went skydiving and there were 100 people on the plane, and 5 people's parachutes didn't open (or even 1), and that happened every time, that would definitely be considered high risk!with covid complications being such a low risk (95%+ survival rate
95% when the elderly and those with underlying conditions are factored in, if you're just looking at normal healthy people it's 99+%. I'm fine with basically 1/10 of 1% odds of dying if I even get it at all, which is not very likely since I leave my house like once a week.That's not really low risk. If someone went skydiving and there were 100 people on the plane, and 5 people's parachutes didn't open (or even 1), and that happened every time, that would definitely be considered high risk!
Or for something more relevant, if the vaccines had a 1%-5% death rate, absolutely nobody would be getting vaccinated .
We also don't know the long-term effects of gettimg COVID, but so far it's not looking good. The vascular damage is permanent and can show up even when the person was asymptomatic originally. (Speaking of which, there's a new paper out; it seems COVID is a vascular disease, not a respiratory disease. The respiratory symptoms that many display are a result of the vascular damage: COVID-19 – A vascular disease)
I guess I sort of understand the concern about the mRNA vaccines, just because mRNA vaccine technology is so new (they've been working on it for awhile though). But the J&J one is a pretty standard vaccine so it shouldn't be any riskier than any other vaccine.
And young healthy people aren't exempt. Locally, a 29-year-old husband and father of a 2-year-old died from COVID. He had no underlying illnesses. Just bam! His lungs and heart basically exploded. Called in sick to work one day and was dead the next. Very sad.
