Yeah. We've already had 815,000 deaths, so what difference will a few more make? It's time we just admit defeat in the war against COVID and let it do its thing. It's just not worth missing any more sporting events. Let's get our priorities right.

it is certainly hard to prove how effective the measures that have been taken up to this point have worked, we are all kind of learning as we go. But I think it is safe to say that they have reduced the number of infections.

As far as the "from/with" comment goes it's the complications that kill most people isn't it? That doesn't make it any less a Covid death. Certainly the oft sited, "guy got killed in a car accident and tested positive for covid so they counted it as a covid death" wouldn't apply, but while it may have happened somewhere it isn't how they do it. On the other hand when someone is in the hospital and develops pneumonia while battling covid and they die, well yes that is a covid death.

I'm not sure about anyone else's experiences but from my vantage point it's not some abstract tiny percentage so small we should just ignore it. A number of people with close connections to me, several people in my church, a number of friends I went through school with, an older friend, and a cousin have all died "from" covid. A lot of people have contracted it and most of them had few if any problems, but for a few others it's a very different story. They continue to deal with fatigue, damaged lungs etc.

If we have to be inconvenienced in the short run that seems to be a small sacrifice.

I had the synthetic antibodies infusion after I got Covid at the VT/UNC football game in Sept. It worked great and I have multiple morbidities.

But the young and healthy come into contact with lots of other people. I don't know if they should cancel these games or not, but sometimes you have to put a little trust in the decision makers. They know a lot more than we do about the specifics of the situation.

This seems to be a great treatment. I have a sister in law and friend that each tested positive and were sick and each got the monoclonal infusion treatment. Both were better after a few days, though fatigue seems to linger for a while. One hadn't gotten the vaccine because of other health issues and the other had reluctantly gotten the J and J. Who knows how they would have fared had they not gotten the infusion.
