Mostly 3 days out of commission and loss of taste and smell in some cases. I'd be more concerned if the ones with comorbidities didn't have the opportunity to get vaccinated. Kids will be fine. It doesn't seem to phase them. My 13 year old nephew had it and was fine after a day or two. My aunt (70 years old, very overweight, has diabetes, etc) had a minor fever for 2 or 3 days when she had it. She got winded more quickly than normal for a couple weeks afterwards, but otherwise she was fine. Two of my SILs got it around the same time as her. Older one is 40, younger one is 35 or 36 I think. Both is reasonably good shape, healthy, not severely overweight, no health issues, etc. Both were essentially bed ridden for more than a week with high fevers, chills, extreme fatigue to the point they could barely make it to the bathroom, etc. The older one still can't smell or taste anything 5.5 months later. It is extremely difficult to predict who will impacted severely and who will not. A friend's son is in his early 20's and has it for the 2nd time. First time he had a fever for a few days but recovered pretty quickly. 2nd time around sounds like it has just been a dry cough that he was attributing to allergies until he had to get tested for work.

Along with this, I've also been saying that getting to endemic levels is still a major win. It's just a tad bit premature to lift mask restrictions. Christ, can we at least get through the school year?

May 14, 20215 yr Super cool article on the origins of social distancing rules, and slow acceptance on a common definition for what constitutes "airborne" transmission. Basically it dates back to a misinterpretation of tuberculosis research decades ago that led to improper guidance for all other respiratory pathogens since then. https://www.wired.com/story/the-teeny-tiny-scientific-screwup-that-helped-covid-kill/

Throughout this whole ordeal, it's like the kids and their parents don't matter. Save the old people! Anywho... I do feel like it's premature to unmask everybody and reopen everything. When we still haven't given everyone a chance to get vaccinated. But it is what it is. I trust the decision-makers crunched all the data and saw the risk has become so low, now is the time to start moving another direction. I hope they've done all the work. At the end of the day, you've got to make the best decisions for you.

The UK has quite a high number of people already vaccinated. You'll probably be fine, but it sounds like they're prepping you just in case.
