Itâs dangerous.
It will make you terribly ill.
Let me tell you, all those warnings are overstated. You can get it and be just fine. Look at me. I got it. Twice. It wasnât any more than an inconvenience. There were some minor symptoms, but I wasnât holed up in bed for days. I still came into the office and didnât give up going to the store or restaurants. The best part is, Iâm now chocked full of antibodies.
So stop worrying about what you might hear in the media, donât fret about what people say on Facebook and just get it.
