Beds in assisted living facilities turned over in less then three years pre-COVID. We’re closing in on that mark for the most vulnerable.
There is a reason NY handled things the way they did in the absence of other data. Kinda like the women and children first approach to disasters. Can’t argue both sides with outrage.
Within 2 months of the start of the whole thing we knew exactly who was at risk. By that time it was too late as it relates to what NY did with nursing homes..FYI.
However we continued on the path of pretending everyone was at risk.
So we kept schools shut. We kept biz closed. We limited all kinds of things that didn't protect the population at large. We knew it was the elderly and people with serious health issues that were at risk. The rest of us?
There was no reason to restrict the population at large since the data showed the vast VAST majority were not at risk. And those of us looking at the data were told WE were the crazy ones and had it all wrong. Funny how with time it shows who was largely right.
Up until just months ago we heard many clamoring for mandatory vaxxes.
One has to wonder why?
Why mandatory vax someone who...
1 Doesn't have any real risk?
2 We know the vax doesn't stop you from getting it
3 We know the vax doesn't stop you from spreading it
Points 2 and 3 really kill any argument for a mandatory vaxx by the way. Our VP has covid right now. This after being vaxxed and boosted many times.
- So why mandate them to get a vax if they don't want it? It literally makes no difference to the vast majority of the population if they get vaxxed or not.
And yet many demand the person above get the vax. Why?
Note: If I were in a high risk group I would have been the first in line to get a vaxx when they came out.
So many things done made little to no sense. Especially in light of the fact that the data kept coming out showing who was at risk, how the vax was working etc.
Side note of vaxxes and certain mindsets. I have family in the bay area. One of them was proudly letting people know he got boosted (again) yesterday. His friends (mostly in the bay area) were excited and talking about them getting boosted. I couldn't help but think the booster you got lasts at most a couple of months. It is for the original version of the virus...and how many times a year are you going to take a shot for a virus that has mutated to basically a version of the flu? A lot of groupthink in that part of CA.
