Worried about my unvaccinated sister who has covid

She has just tested positive through a PCR test.
She refused to get vaccinated as she believed it would give her a blood clot.
I’m now scared for her.
She has a blocked nose and a cough, she says her chest feels tight. She’s tired and had a fever yesterday, but doesn’t have one today.
She has an oximeter (I bought her one) and so she’s been checking her 02 levels regularly. Currently they’re 98/99.
She is overweight also.

She lives alone, I’m so worried about her, I’m so angry at her for not getting vaccinated when she had the chance.

Try not to worry too much. I am mid 40's and a bit overweight. Had it twice. It was unpleasant but fine. I know plenty of others that are similar. I hope she soon feels better.

@TabbyMac

I really hope she’ll be fine, you just read all these stories online about people, in their 30s and 40s who didn’t have the vaccine and ended up in hospital on a ventilator and then dead.
it's boring to talk about the vast majority in 30s/40s who felt nothing or at worst, a bit rough.

And if there were daily stories about them, then there'd be accusations that the stories were politically or anti-vacc motivated.

So the fact that very vast majority in this age group feel no symptoms or at worst just a bit rough -- goes uncommented. Project Fear instead (?)

Try not to panic. You don't hear about the people who have it and are fine. I understand it's a worrying time for you and her but try and check in with her and be positive if you can.
