It just confirms what many have said. There was never a reason to shut things down for so long. If you were an at risk person take the necessary precautions. The rest of the population did not need to go into this I am going to die scare tactics that were being said by most news sources.
There is risk in everything around us, just assess and do what is right for you. Again, the people that died had an average of 2.6 other major illnesses wrong with them. Many of them would have passed by now without covid.
Well, that's not remotely true unless by "many" you mean "a few". And, recall, that high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity are under the listing of "other major illnesses" which, I'm guessing, one or more of which most of us on this board have. Anecdotally, I've personally seen a healthy 55 year old have to stay 5 days in ICU before turning the corner and recovering, and another 28 year old former college athlete who almost died and was in ICU for 30 days b/c of this virus. The Broadway star that just died (Nick Cordero) was a completely healthy 41 year old.
We still don't know the long-term affects of COVID on recovered adults, but it looks more and more like it can do permanent lung or heart damage.
My wife and I are healthy 60 year olds, but we take precautions - we don't go to restaurants other than to eat outside. We wear masks and social distance from everyone. We don't attend large gatherings like weddings or, even, church unless its a small gathering. Until a vaccine is available, we'll continue to do that -- for our safety AND THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE WITH WHICH WE COME IN CONTACT. And that last sentence is the thing - someone that doesn't want to - and doesn't - wear a mask in public is disrespecting me and everyone that he/she comes in contact with. I don't get the selfishness and chutzpah of that person, and - honestly - it tells me all I need to know about that person's character.
Wear your mask this Saturday. Take it off to drink a cold one, then put it right back on. Don't tailgate, even on private property. Do the right thing and we may get to have a full season this year.
