Daughter has 100% had it. Caught at school. PCR trst positive. She is suffering some of the long covid symptoms. Biggest worry is her weight loss as food is no longer tasty and enjoyable.
Wife probably had it in February of last year, before testing was availible. Caught in her work setting (childcare). Knocked her for 6.
Is it something Id like to catch? - certainly not.
Is it something that frightens me? - again certainly not.
Wife and I are both fully vaccinated, nothing for the daughter because of her age.
Personally I follow the rules as made by the government, mainly as they are made (rightly or wrongly) in good faith based in both scientific and economic reasons. And in the cold light of day our government is not doing anything significantly different to any of the other governments of developed countries around the world.
Personally I believe we are all going to have to catch a dose at some point. Lockdowns are simply about making sure everyone has a fair crack of the whip if you get ill enough to need hospital. But covid isn't going anywhere.
I do read a lot of scientific papers in the subject, being a proffessional engineer by trade. I take a lot of notice of various sites containing statistics.
What I dont do is make my mind up based on the small sample of anecdotes from friends and family.
