My brother and his sone both tested positive and had very mild symptoms and are now negative with no after effects.

I did have an uncle who die with Covid but he was 93 years old. He went into the hospital for another issue and got it while he was in there. I don't know if Covid caused his death or if it was the original issue.

The numbers however don't lie. About 90% of the people that get Covid will experience mild to moderate symptoms. About 7.5 % will experience severe symptoms and may have long lasting effects and about 2.5% will die.

Having said that however I look at it this way If you were given a jar of 100 jelly beans was was told that 90 of them were fine, seven of them would make you very sick and three of them would kill you, would you eat any of the jelly beans?
