It's just a flu.
People have long symptoms because first of all, most are diagnosed by a phone since the doctors are fucking pussies, which leads to misdiagnosing, assigning too strong/too weak/totally wrong meds; and second because sick people are supposed to sit at home for weeks and cannot even leave. Cityfags, especially in winter, are trapped in their cuckapartments and cannot go out even for a while once they get a little better. With no fresh air and no movement, the body cannot speed up the process of recuperation.

Also, the sufferer is not supposed to 'infect' others - true story: a lady friend's mother died just after she got well, she had a contagious infection.

Now, if your whole family is sick, perhaps you can take your mum to the nearest pharmacy and get antibiotics to prevent her from getting better. As to the rest of us, the approach is different. We are supposed to exercise, get outside, walk and hike, preferably to a place with fresh air and sunshine.

bc getting the vaccine protects vulnerable people. no vaccine is perfect/older people don’t have as strong an antibody response/ there are people with weakened immune systems for whom the vaccine basically doesn’t work. the more people get the vaccine, the less likely anyone is to get infected.
also, with spotty vaccination rates, there’s always the possibility the virus could mutate and become “vaccine resistant” or whatever. the only way to try to prevent that from happening is to limit its circulation as much as possible.

It's exactly the reverse, the people abstaining from the vaccine are doing so because it hasn't had time to be properly tested. They are the most science-minded.

I think Coriolanus is the bard's highest accomplishment personally. There's a marvelous economy of expression in it, it is saturated with meaning yet perfectly trim and organic.
