I know it's not the same, however I had H1N1 when it went around, was in my mid 20s. Certainly wasnt pleasant and didnt eat for about 10 days and lived in the bathroom...but made it though. Now it's part of our flu vaccine I believe. 
That being said, my biggest fear in all of this has and still is with all the people we are trying to save from covid, we are killing them from many other things. Cancers not being diagnosed, or treated. Disease not being caught because people are scared of the ER etc. Not to mention people who suffered financially before ( and even people who weren't) are now going to be so much worse.  Malnutrition etc. Not to mention the rise in anxiety, depression and suicide. 
Just my opinion...

Exactly!!! I also have worked in healthcare for about 16 years and am seeing it here as well. As well as 80something year olds taking all their meds at once because they don't want to live like this....
In our hospital we have definitely seem an influx at the beginning. And ended up with most of our patients because the long term care facilities have basically shown to be a disaster. At most we had 32ish in ICU. Now have been holding steady at under 15 for last while. Very manageable for the system so far.

Is it just me or does anyone feel like it's pretty much impossible not to get new infections unless on a complete lockdown. I mean nothing but hospitals and pharmacies open kind of thing. It's not going anywhere anytime soon.
That being said, I'm always much more interested in hospitalization or specifically ICU admissions then just people who have it. If many have it but are at home watching netflix then that's a win!

I also dont think it's going away any time soon. We need to find a way to live with it and not keep ourselves locked inside for years.

The amount of people who are ignoring their own health because the media has them terrified they will catch covid are astonishing. Worked on a woman last week who had a stroke but was to scared to come into the ER when her symptoms first presented. She said the news said she would be a burden on us if she came in. It's heart breaking.
The truth of the matter is the hospitals in my state were not overun or at the brink of collapse at any point of covid 19. The media scared people to death when they shouldn't have been scared. And now my governor is changing his tune saying quarantine wasn't just for hospitals ?
Fauci goes back and forth with what he thinks covid will do in the fall and even with quarantining or not quarantining
No one knows what will happen and some people we have in power are just trying to save face at this point. It's disgusting.
I feel for all those who are ignoring their own health and who may very well die from soemthing that couldn't have been treated all bc of being worried about covid 19

I’m with you 100%!  It’s incredible how much liberty, freedom, and individual responsibility people are willing to sacrifice out of fear.
