[quote=Anonymous]COVID is not going away (it even survived our Summer).  We will either need to get a vaccine or develop herd immunity.  States like NY, NJ, TX, FL, CA where they had the huge surge either in the beginning or during the Summer, their infections rates are going down compare to other states with more drastic measures.

Instead of posting number of positive cases (which can be misleading), post the number of hospitalization/ICU admissions.  Did we post the fact that 50-60 million Americans had the Swine Flu in 2009-2010?  How anxious would we be if every day on the news, we hear "another million cases of swine flu in the U.S."?

Yes, the death rates from COVID is also going down but it is most likely because the infected are younger - need to adjust the death for age so we can compare Apples to Apples.

Why is U.S. death rates so much higher than the rest of the world? We have the highest rate of obesity/metabolic syndrome in the world (thanks to the high fructose corn syrup that our govt keep subsidizing) - close to 70% if we count moderately obese & morbidly obese.

We have such extremes in this country - either wear mask and stay indoors 24/7 or no masks and life as normal.  Why can we be more clear headed and come up with compromises but still allow the country to function?[/quote]
