At it's worst.......Covid death rate was 0.3% -- that is 3 out of every 1,000 who contracted covid.
The (annual) flu has a death rate of about 0.1%

So, if you had a 33% chance of contracting covid (by taking virtually NO precautions), you had about a one in 1,000 chance of a fatal situation. Choice: one in 1,000 chance of lethal covid or 100% chance of 'cabin fever'.
Everyone has their own perspective. For me, I am not going to hunker down in my bunker and shiver in fear.

Death by Covid or Death with Covid
 

Check this out from Illinois

How old are you?? I am 81. My risk of dying from it, should I have gotten sick from it were as seen. MUCH MUCH Greater than a younger person.

However I have been vaccinated and I am not likely to die from it at all. I will continue with my hell raising life.

Risk for COVID-19 Infection, Hospitalization, and Death By Age Group | CDC

Daughter-in-law works as a registered nurse in a large hospital in Ohio. Works in a hospice area. Said almost every cause of death was listed as Covid, despite the fact that everyone of those people was already in hospice dying of something else? Bottom line, the number of covid deaths being put forth in this country is totally bogus. The real number is probably less than half of what we are being told!

That why I worded my post “died with Covid” vs “died from Covid”...

... is worth 2 in the bush. Is it? IMHO, it depends on what else is hiding in the bush. And we don't yet know.

Your decision is absolutely a good one.... FOR YOU.

I am extremely skeptical about this undocumented hearsay.

I personally know of six people who were very sick with Covid and know of four people who died. One who said things just like you are saying. He rode his bike around the neighborhood. He died within six days of getting sick.

I ask you and your daughter in law, what would be the reason for saying someone died of Covid when they did not. Do not say money. These people had relatives. Do you think I would let someone say my mother died of Covid when she had a malignant brain tumor? It just doesn't make sense. It is another conspiracy theory. People died of Covid. Hospitals didn't get more money if they died of Covid. That is pure foolishness and it makes me really mad.

That’s interesting. People are different and may react differently to the vaccine. Some are on medications that may react adversely to the vaccine. When it came out, there wasn’t a lot of time for testing because we were in an emergency situation. I’m glad that we got the vaccine.

The CDC website has the number of excess deaths. This is the number of deaths above what would normally be expected. Since COVID-19 was the extraordinary event of 2020, a high percentage of the excess deaths can be attributed either directly or indirectly to COVID-19. Some estimates have 80% of the excess deaths due to COVID-19. The reason to look at excess deaths is because the cause of each death, as reported on a death certificate, doesn't matter to the number.

There really is proof that many deaths were labeled "died WITH Covid."
I have two family members that "died WITH Covid." One was in the hospital for a heart operation (another one of many) and he died on the operating table. Cause= with covid. At the same time, another was in the hospital for kidney problems and dialysis treatment. He developed respiration difficulty, was put on a respirator and eventually passed. Cause= died "with" covid.
Did they die BECAUSE of covid? Who knows? Would they have died anyway? Who knows. It does make for a good excuse at those hospitals, doesn't it?
Money can and has corrupted many good people throughout history. Blame and excuses have always been prevalent since Adam and Eve.

What is your source for that 0.3% number? The numbers on the Johns Hopkins Covid page have shown the mortality rate at a fairly steady 1.5% for quite some time.

Does anyone really care anymore? Really? Looks like someone is beating a dead horse.

Well the ante was definitely upped where there was a diagnosis of Covid. An increase of 20% was at play., so def not pure foolishness. Hospitals though do not sign death certificates, which list the cause of death, physicians do. https://www.cms.gov/files/document/se20015.pdf. But why must it be a conspiracy theory bc one thinks it was all about the money? You don't believe there's greed out there? It makes me really mad to constantly read such garbage associated w a difference of opinion.

There are plenty of relatives fighting their loved one's listed cause of death. Duck Duck Go "dying with covid v dying from covid". You might be surprised. Here's a good one to get you going- Dying with COVID and dying from COVID are same thing in Oregon | kgw.com. Should all anecdotal information be disbelieved bc we don't like the way it makes us feel? OR should we look a little closer?

I RESPECT their choice, even if I do not necessarily agree with their reasoning. However, even if I believe in vaccinations I will not push them. If I turn out to be wrong and there really IS a possible repercussion(s) to the vaccine, I won't feel guilty for pushing them to do something that may be harmful or even fatal. I am not suggesting that there is the possibility, just allowing them to make their own decision without my intimidation or coercion. And yes, I am pretty proud of how decent they have turned out.

gain of function
 

Yes, and now we know from Dr. Fauci's e-mails that the Wuhan Institute Covid studies of Gain of Function (COVID transfer to humans) was funded by Fauci at the NIH. Fauci used over $7,000,000 of our taxpayer dollars to research transfer of COVID to humans. Now we know the first cases of COVID were research staff in the Wuhan Institute. Fauci received e-mail information about the gain of function from other US researchers but ignored it. Dr. Fauci has already admitted he lied about some of the aspects of COVID transmittal as well as the times he changed his advice about masking, being with others, travel etc.
