> Since top comments here are anecdata about how terrible covid is for a young person, just thought I'd share my experience. ... We don't want to paint our picture of the situation using only extremes. How about we include the "average" anecdata too?

The reason for those anecdotes is to counter the false narrative that young people are basically invulnerable to Covid, and should therefore live like it doesn't exist. That false narrative has been quite prevalent, even here, as an oblique way of arguing against public health measures.

There's no actual prevalent narrative that no one escapes Covid unscathed that needs to be countered.
