How old are you? If you're reasonably young, and vaccinated, you really don't need to worry about COVID this badly. Practically everyone I know has had COVID by now and for most of them it was not much worse than catching a cold.

COVID is going to be around forever. I don't know why anyone is still letting it disrupt their lives.

I'm 30 (I think that's reasonably young?) and have had many vaccinations, but you make a lot of assumptions about any preexisting conditions I and those close to me may have. COVID is a brand new disease and even in those with mild cases we are just now starting to understand the long-term effects, especially of getting it multiple times.

It is a bet that I'm taking; I'm definitely curious to see 10 years down the road the difference in health between me (with a few years of social isolation) and those I know that have caught COVID multiple times. Usually they are catching it multiple times within the span of a few months/a year.
