self fulfilling prophecy. they already believe that doctors/hospitals inflated the c19 deaths for profit and fun.
is there any published number of estimated C19 recovered people + vaxed people? there's ~30m 'cases' but there has to be double/triple that of unreported cases? that's why i think the nth wave will not be as bad as predicted. The most likely to get hospitalized is the most vaxed demo. The 1-15 yo kids are basically immune to severe illness and I think i saw an article that said 30% of that age had antibodies already. The 16-24 yo are all spreading to them selves during spring break. The 50-60 demo is getting vaxed in record numbers each week. Also, the most likely to get hospitalized from the 25-49 crowd should have been vaxed or in line as a 1B person. Optimistically, when you add that up, the deaths and severe cases should continue to go down almost despite any stupidity on our part. Yes, it would have been great if nationwide we could have mandated masks for say one more month and a lot of the big chains are least holding to that.
There should be a dose for every American over 18yo by June, right? the US dropped from 7-day avg of 3K deaths per day on valentines day to down to 1900 deaths (7 day avg) one week later and has continued down to ~1000 7 day avg per day right now. I hope the trend continues and hope people choose to get vaxed or their employers take the decision away from them. But hope in 1 hand and shit in the other...
