RE:Sick of COVID?
RE:Sick of COVID?On the plus side my 83 year old dad isnt even showing any symptoms of Covid at all... My step mom is much better and apparently going back to work in a couple days. She has to isolate for 14 days after her first symptoms, and that is over tomorrow..

restrictions.
Two bad things can happen if you are infected
1 Death
80% of cases (270,000 in USA) are people 65+
17% of cases (55,000 in USA) are 45 to 64
3% of cases (10,000 in USA are aged 44 or less
2 Permanent physical damage to heart, lungs, kidneys
liver, circulatory system (blood pressure etc.)
This factor is much more evenly spread over the ages.
I do not have any reliable data.
*** 400,000 Americans will have died by inaugeration day.
*** 500,000 Americans will have died before All Fools Day
*** 600,000 American will have died by the Fall
If anything, the above numbers might be lowball
We should all be;
1 fed up with restrictions
2. realistic about implications about getting infected.
The new variation seems to be 50% to 70% more transmissable.
