Bad news - there is currently 100,000 people hospitalized with Covid 19.

Good news - simple math - that is .03 of 1 percent of the population....


So - Captain Trips it's not.....

The thing with COVID hospitalization is that it's not just a problem due to people with COVID.  Having that many people that sick can prevent others from receiving the care they need.  Check the news in various parts of the country.  ICUs are full to overflowing.  I'd have been shit out of luck when I had the heart attack if there wasn't a place for me at the hospital and staff available to put me under and place the stent and tend to me for the following hours when I couldn't move so that the femoral artery wouldn't open up.

It's the ripples out from COVID that people don't think about.  

I was reading an article today where the University of Iowa hospital system is at capacity for treating patients due to rampant COVID.  Rural hospitals are not prepared, staffed, or have the equipment for this.

It's not just about COVID.

yes - I am aware of these facts.

I dunno if you know "Captain Trips" - it was a name given to the superflu in Stephen King's "The Stand" - a military grade, manufactured bug - that had better than a 99 percent mortality rate......

Just saying - it could be much, much worse...

A virus with a lower mortality rate is actually great for the virus, because it allows it more time to spread. If COVID had a 99% fatality rate like Captain Trips, do you really think the pandemic would have lasted this fucking long? Almost Everybody’d be dead by this point.

Short term, yes it would be devastating. Long term? No, it wouldn't be worse. The sooner the virus burns itself out, the sooner you can start to rebuild. The COVID damage is likely to be the new normal.

Think of it as the difference between having your little finger chopped off by a meat cleaver, vs having it removed one millimeter at a time in a meat grinder.

A better analogy would be the difference between herpes (c19) and having your crotch ripped off by a pitbull (Capt Trips).

Heart disease USED TO BE the number 1 killer in the US.

More people died of Corona in the US TODAY than died in Japan for the whole year.

Palmerston Town is looking more and more goodest.
