2700 deaths today. Very bad.
On the plus side we're now 2 weeks out from the probable peak in cases, so hopefully the deaths are peaking soon.
2800 deaths today and yesterday was revised to 3100 which is the most since last winter. Very bad.
I'm old enough to remember when 3000 people died so we changed our society, went to war in multiple countries, and spent trillions of dollars. Now, that many people are dting every day or two and people keep whining about how uncomfortable masks are and how they want things to go back to normal. Quite a difference.
Then which of the Covid view camps do you fall into? Your comments seem to suggest that you fall into Camp #2.
I'm solidly in Camp #5:
Camp 1: We must return to March 2020- if not even more strict measures- to rid the world of covid once and for all. #ZeroCovid was right, and we abandoned it too soon.
Camp 2: The unvaccinated should be forced back into lockdown with siginficant restrictions on life for the vaccinated (perhaps resembling blue state restrictions during the winter of 2020-21).
Camp 3: Life should continue semi-normally and everything should be open, but I support mask and/or vaccine mandates.
Camp 4: Vaccinated people should be living without restrictions, while encouraging, but not requiring unvaccinated people to get vaccinated. People with covid should still get tested and quarantine.
Camp 5: Covid needs to be treated no differently then the flu. Make vaccines and treatments available to anyone who wants them, but that's it. End mass testing of asymptomatic or pauci-symptomatic people and allow people who feel up to it to go about normal lives- whether they would test positive or negative.
I don't object to people wearing masks, but I do object to government mandates.
