Broken and painful bones does not sound like a fun cluster of symptoms. COVID sucked but I want to avoid this disease at all costs.

Yes Dengue fever is bad.

I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning, I break my legs, and every afternoon, I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.

I dont know, for me broken bones < pulmon failure and need for oxygen mask

That's true, but for me COVID manifested flu-like symptoms and I was still largely functional. A disease with flu-like symptoms that also breaks my bones is thus a downgrade.
