Troll: SCIENTISTS say EVERYONE is going to get COVID, so quarantine is POINTLESS!
Doctors: Quarantine means you get COVID slowly enough that we might have a bed for you. No promises.

Actual scientists: The only person who said that is selling homeopathic magic water made by dipping a healthy person's nuts in a chlorinated swimming pool.

Me: If COVID just killed you--if I had a 12% chance of dying, with a guaranteed full recovery, I might risk it. I've been bitten by venomous snakes, I've had botulism. I roll pretty well on my death saves.
But it's NOT just death. I don't want to die, and I'm not trying to downplay the loss of life, but it's NOT just death.
I've made choices throughout my life specifically because I want to avoid things like MASSIVE ORGAN DAMAGE, SYSTEMIC CRISIS, and STROKE.
Given a choice between massive organ damage and being careful verging on paranoid long enough to get to a vaccine, bring on the masks and hand sanitizer!
I'm genuinely astonished by the people going "oh, I'll probably live, so it's fine" when there is such a vicious documented range of complications in survivors.
