Not sure how you can say that with a straight face. The county we used to live in (and our kids still do) is small in population, spaced out, no mandates, and no masks, but the only nearby hospital can't take ANY patients that require a hospital stay after surgery, as it is full of COVID patients, and has been for several months now. You are acting like things are normal, but not everything is normal.
Why do I suspect you are leaving out the places where you aren’t spending any time that aren’t normal. Are your hospitals on 2019 rules, no restrictions or different protocols for being onsite? Are your airports operating differently than the rest of the airports and are back to operating like 2019?
I'm already got one for booster last October. So I'm good for avoiding new future variants.Get your boosters, people.
Omicron: Three vaccine doses key for protection against variant
UK scientists say two doses of a Covid vaccine are not enough to stop you catching the Omicron variant.www.bbc.co.uk
Fear young people?
I'll continue to wear my mask for as long as I feel it's appropriate. As for young people (I assume you mean children), I don't fear them either, though I do recognise that schools are likely to be breeding grounds for the virus, particularly among unvaccinated and unmasked students.
Normal? In the fall 2021, some Houston hospitals had to erect overflow tents due to max capacity in the hospitals and San Antonio hospitals were running out of ICU beds. That's not normal.
We must know what happened here so that we are not doomed to repeat it.
That's good because the business can deny the ones who refuse to wear a mask, service if they don't follow their policy.
There's no doubt deaths have been undercounted. Same with total cases.Very interesting read on the probable undercounting of COVID deaths in the US and a new way to determine a better read on it. They say it could be as much as 20% more which would put us over a million. So sad.
The US is undercounting COVID deaths, researchers say. Now they have a tool to figure out why.

Exactly this, but also, does the school have recess? If they do, put the faux outrage away.

Pretty sure they aren't sitting there in t shirts and shorts, either.Pretty sure neither is available at grade school lunch.
Are the tailgaters using other warming devices sitting there in shorts?
Not normal.

You totally missed the point. My point was, they are dressed properly for the weather, just like people who tailgate. You're making it seem like they are being forced to sit outside in 40 degree weather in tshirts and shorts.
People who say everything is back to normal obviously don't have friends or loved ones involved in the medical field (unless that friend/loved one is a lunatic anti-science anti-vaxer) and covid hasn't affected their life in any way. It may not, until they need emergency care.Not normal.
ERs packed, patients waiting as COVID-19 fills Pa. hospitals
Surging COVID-19, rising flu cases and staffing shortages are only part of the problem.
No, I'm not.
When I was in school we did indoor recess when it was really cold.
Those kids weren't in shorts and Tshirts, they were dressed in weather-appropriate clothing. Nobody who lives in that climate needs handwarmers or external heat sources in 40 degree weather, unless they have Raynaud's syndrome or something like it.
