I have been following COVID developments quite closely for over a year. For the record, someone I cared about deeply passed away from COVID at the beginning of April last year. He was one of the first 4,000 deaths. Unfortunately, he is not the only person I know who died: I also know others who got very sick but thankfully pulled through.

I am not looking for an explanation of why things are known and others remain a mystery. I understand all of that and am well aware of the stock recommendations, as well as the concept of risk vs. benefits. I am merely asking for others in the same boat, if any, to share their experience -- or in the event I missed it, a published opinion about this scenario.

Thank you
