If you are fit, healthy, and young your chances of being hospitalized or dying from Covid are significantly decreased - especially if you've been vaccinated and wear a mask. You go along thinking you're safe. So if that actually happens to you, despite doing everything "right", you must have done something else "wrong"- or maybe that's just the way life is. No guarantees.
Even if it happened during a future pandemic, I doubt it would be in as many places as it was before. Everyone is going to remember the devastating effect it had on businesses and the economy as a whole.
Yep - those were the areas I was thinking of. But even most people in CA and NY are over the shutdowns.
Not to mention it’s debatable how much it accomplished. I still don’t blame anyone for doing it, it was a scary time and the virus was 100% unknown, but at most I think it pushed the waves back a couple months and bought some time to study it, numbers were far worse last winter (pre vaccine) and we still didnt see anything close to the worst case scenarios originally predicted.
I think it would be a lot different if there weren’t safe and effective vaccines.
Many people that I talked to in NYC believe the vaccine mandates are hurting tourism in nyc. It’s kind of silly that major cities like Atlanta are open as usual and in NYC you have to show a piece of paper to eat in a restaurant or go to a theatre.
I don't know, we forgot a bunch of the lessons learned in 1918 and subsequent infections.

I would guess for most parts of the country they are at least a week off. For the West several weeks.Well to jump on some more good news, IHME is now predicting that today (Jan 8th) is the peak of new cases for this wave. We will see if this is true this week, because reported new cases will start to fall sometime this week (a delay in people getting tests, and a delay in tests being run.)

Yea, just six more weeks until daily deaths peakWell to jump on some more good news, IHME is now predicting that today (Jan 8th) is the peak of new cases for this wave. We will see if this is true this week, because reported new cases will start to fall sometime this week (a delay in people getting tests, and a delay in tests being run.)

Just. Oof.
NYC citizens famously love tourists to their city.
That is what it says....
Where did you see that? Unless I’m misreading it the charts linked show Jan 29 for the deaths peak, it also shows the peak will thankfully be about 40% lower than the Delta peak was.
Late Feb is what I see if you scroll to the bottom, it looks like margarita day
They do when their paycheck depends on it!
I still don’t see it, the current projection line (purple) peaks on Jan 24th at 1926 deaths, the high severity line (red) Peaks on Jan 28th at 2080 deaths, by mid February it shows we’ll be well below those peaks. 885 (purple) and 1400 (red) on Feb 14th and 588 (purple) and 1024 (red) on Feb 21.
Disney would have the last word on weight issues regarding a guest interested in the optional Wild Africa Trek excursion at DAK. Each has to fall under the 300 lb weight limit. One part of the trek is guests walking across the suspended bridge.
Shocked to hear you say that……
