Someone Asks What The Scariest Thing Science Has Proven To Be Real Is, And People Deliver 30 Of The Most Chilling Answers

Imagine doing that job during the height of the pandemic with little to no rest for months. We've seen societies and entire countries totally shut down, many (if not most) people know someone that's died yet some people still don't even seem to accept covids existence or seriousness. It's sobering.

neagtionist shouldn't be treated

Thank you to all the medical people on the covid front lines, so to speak. Thank you for taking care of the sickest. Thank you for doing a thankless job and watching people suffer and die despite all your hard work. Thank you for continuing to do your jobs even when people spread lies that covid isn't serious or even real, while you are dealing with illness and misery. Just, thank you

The PS is exactly how I felt during the Pandemic. Either they didn‘t believe it was really that terrible or they simple didn‘t empathise. You cannot talk to either of those

Thank you for all you do. My parents both went thru covid, both survived at the time (My dad passed from age related complications 6 months later). The daily updates from the doctors and nurses told me alot of What caring for covid patients entailed, you cared for them and cared for me their daughter with all the conversations, advice and treatment methods you discussed and employed I can't tell you how much I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are a breed apart, I can only dream of being a fraction of the good peeps you are.

Home health nurse here. Thank you so much everyone for supporting those who lived through this nightmare

Reading this broke me. I lost my aunt to COVID in the summer of 2020, and I know this is exactly what happened to her. When people would say it wasn't real, that all the people dying didn't really exist, I wanted to scream at them, I still do. Thank goodness for people like the OP, without them, we'd be so much worse off. They sacrificed so much to care for people at one of the scariest times in history.

Lost my nephew to Covid. Long Covid causing daughter irreparable damage. It's still trying to kill me. Just recovered from 3rd bout. With all my vax, it's easier. Yeah. Covid has decimated our lives. Nurses brought us through. Nurses are the true heroes here.

Why do some people not get Covid even after multiple exposures? I am one. 60 year old slightly overweight female.

For me, the scariest thing about Covid was how it showed the vast number of callously idiotic people. Losing my job was tough, but I can get another. My faith in humanity can never be replaced.

Salute for your hardwork! Never mind the non believers...

And even if COVID doesn't kill you, it might make it easier for something else to do it. My dad had COPD that was manageable pre-covid and the beginnings of dementia. Two months post-COVID, he now has advanced COPD and his dementia has advanced to the point he needs hospice. We've been told he likely won't make it more than a year.

Im still wearing a mask inside crowded public places and will continue to do so..

I did not know I was going to be losing an uncle of mine. He was so sweet and kind. I didn't see him much because he worked major holidays as a chef. The last time I saw him, can't even recall, but I did not know I was never going to see him again. I wish his family had been more strict within themselves over in their city.

My daughter is a respiratory therapist. She was was on the front lines during the whole pandemic. She still won't talk about it. But she admitted holding hands of the dying because family were not allowed to be there. I believe it still affect her to this day. But I am proud and in awe of her.

The weirdest thing about antivaxers is, that vaccination is one of the few almost fully understood preventions from diseases. And one of the safest.

My sister is an ICU nurse and was in the thick of it. She had a 34 yo patient whose lungs looked like cottage cheese. He sadly didn’t make it. He was healthy and fit before getting COVID.

I was vaccinated but it looks like so called conspiracy theorists were right about how damaging the vaccines can be

I'm curious, how does this work? I'm vaccinated, and I'm not a "negationist" so please spare me the snark. I'm also a 43 year old recent former smoker. (Quit 4 years ago). Same with my 47 year old asthmatic husband. We both got covid before the vaccines were available. Yes, we were tested at a licensed medical facility, so stop. I'm not arguing with science, I'm questioning. My case was 3 days of a very mild cold with no fever and a scratchy throat. His was about a week with a low fever and cough. My 70 year old overweight MIL on cancer meds and 90 year old grandma weren't much worse than that. FIL has COPD and still smokes, and still wasn't hospitalized. So, how does a "young, healthy person" (your words), end up on a respirator and at deaths door? Note: young and healthy means under middle-age, not severly overweight, no health problems, medications, not a smoker, etc... My question is how does a young healthy person fare so much worse than an old sick fat person? Science please?

THIS! Thousands of times THIS! People who weren’t on the front line of this pandemic and have no medical training cannot possibly fathom what healthcare workers (especially doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, CNAs and EMTs) have gone through. I’m a Critical Care RN (30ys experience) whose job is remote (monitor patients via camera). Every night I worked was like watching a train wreck/plane crash. Young healthy people suddenly fighting for their lives. Babies delivered by emergency CS so that they don’t die with their mother. Young men leaving their wife and young children far too soon. Tragedy everywhere. I cried every day. Especially knowing that we weren’t just fighting the disease but also the never ending tide of disbelievers and quacks. I’m scarred for life by this and I wasn’t even in the worst of it.

The Chinese government should be held responsible for Covid.

I hope people take this seriously.

Interesting. I had a post about the cold hard truth about what it’s like to have Covid in an ICU removed from here. Just disappeared. But then again, I wrote it during Covid. Trying to be brutally honest so people would listen. I guess people couldn’t handle hearing the truth.

Also, how wildly differently people can be affected, I've seen 90 year old, frail,with inhalers shake it off TWICE as if it were a mild cold. I've seen someone go from apparently healthy, symptom free to dead in less than 24 hours. Working in any kind of health or social care throughout Covid deserves a bloody medal.

We knew a perfectly healthy young woman, very fit, very active and I repeat, extremely health conscious in a good way. She caught Covid and was in the ICU for months, she survived but is frail, has other complications. Many, many people who ended up with severe Covid died from suffocation. It isn’t just the old or those with underlying health conditions. Anyone. Now Avian Flu is also something to be concerned about, eight skunks were found dead in British Columbia. It has jumped from animals to people in recent months. Scientists have found big exhuming those who died in the Spanish Flu pandemic and found it was an Avian Flu. There are also Hemorrhagic diseases amongst wildlife IN North America. With the permafrost melting in the Arctic, for example Russia as well as exploration into previously unexplored areas, as well as Globalization there will be other viruses and bacteria we will be exposed to.

Yea, got it before there was even a shot, talking to my brother , just do it. it's not pleasant.get the shot.

it's so horrible that all this is happening/happened and how extreme the effects were but people just brush it off and say it's fake

If medicine had used the cheap and proven Ivermectin and Hydroxycloroqine therapies demonstrated by Dr Pierre Kory, many of these young people would have experienced milder illness and LIVED. You believed the corrupt Fauci, WHO, and Big Pharma which made billions on their untested MRNA drugs.
