minus-squareNogami@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·2 months agoOnly a handful of people (20ish) have ever survived without getting an antiviral shot before symptoms presented. And it’s a pretty horrific way to die (absolutely dehydrated and needing fluid but gagging and choking if offered a drink).
