ARR is very relevant especially when considering the actual number of people infected that even get hospitalized is very low.
Modern man are fat and sickly ***** (especially Americans). Our pharmaceutical dependence is abhorrent. We shit and piss out the pharma-chemicals into perfectly good water (in the toilet), which never leaves. Its made into urea and dumped onto farmland. Somethings gotta give. Let NATURE run its course and cull the species of the comorbidity-ridden populace. Instead we respond out of fear with tyranny. Lockdowns and mandates, and most ridiculous, injecting our children with something that has had ZERO long term safty analysis. This does not shine favorably on the species. Mankind used to protect the pregnant and the youth. Now we throw them into the unknown so that the fat, sick, and elderly can milk a few years out of "life".
If a low number has a huge impact, does it mean the number is significant or not?
In mid December- 75% of hospital ICUs were at 95% or better capacity. I n many places, they reached their limit. That's kind of a big deal. Where I live, they have send patients from hours away due to being "full-up" which has brought our area to almost "full-up" also. At least 20 hospital reported being at full capacity for 52 weeks straight.
In spite of some people stating otherwise om the forum (i.e "Florida has the lowest Covid rates in the country"): "Hospitals in Texas, California and Florida are among the most burdened in the country."
It'd be interesting to know that last time such strain on the system has occurred.
We have about 100,000 ICU beds in the US. There are about 150,000 people hospitalized with COVID. Ouch.
Comorbidity is interesting. If a fat guy gets shot and dies, do we blame the obesity, since a skinnier guy would have been easier to operate on and likely lived?
Covid is killing people that would have lived long lives, even though they have other issues. If we just let nature take its toll, who gets to be the first wave to get all of the diseases we vaccinate against? Do we just stop vaccinations as of day 1 of a New Year, to be equal to all people?
It sounds like a good idea, but would YOU submit to let nature takes it course if it meant immediate exposure to a deadly virus or disease? I'll bet you had your polio shots. Would you allow yourself to be directly exposed now so we can start building those immunities? You MIGHT survive.
