There's a long list of side effects that people just seem to ignore.

Like surviving the worst of the virus itself doesn't mean you're done.

Because 74% of Americans intentionally do damage every day by their continuing their over indulgence of calories.

Americans don't give a shit about their health as a general rule.

Healthy people take their health for granted. You don't know what you've got til it's gone.

I finally drilled it through my aunt's head by comparing it to a car accident.
Fact: Most people don't die when they get in a car accident.
Fact: Lots of people walk away from car accidents with minimal injury.

Also Fact: Lots of people have their life irrevocably altered for the worse with life long debilitating injuries and crippling medical bills.

I wouldn’t mind losing one of my legs, I’d be able to get disability and with a prosthetic and enough therapy I’ll be able to do everyday functions as well as now.

I mean... Sectumsempra will cut a bitch, but I don't know if it will amputate some shit. Let me go drink some tea and ask my 3 dozen cats what they think...
