I’m in my mid-30s, and I’d say, moderately asthmatic, which probably falls into the same risk category you had in mind. I’m not sure what led you to believe that I’ve been avoiding seeing friends or enjoying myself, and squeezing out risks at the expense of everything that makes life worth living—refraining from indoor events with people who’re unvaccinated hasn’t had much of an impact on my quality of life, but it will have a bigger impact on my quality of life now that events are loosening restrictions. Hence my post.
I think it’s clear that IFR is low among people of my risk level, but as the other folks who replied to your comment noted, I think it’s worth considering effects other than death. I’d be interested to know if anyone has evidence on that.
