[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of these kids are vaccinated by now.  Delta is going to infect some, no matter what.  They'll be sick and get over it.  Life goes on, OP.  [/quote]

[b]Some will die[/b], some will have shortened lives, some will have chronic conditions and some will not be able to have families or hold a job. In the end, a lot of family lines will die off and human population will be significantly culled. It will be great for the Earth.  [/quote]

highly unlikely.   Maybe if they had some other health issues going on.

Last school year 2 kids from my kid's college killed themselves by jumping off a tall building (two separte incidents, several weeks apart.)   ZERO died of Covid.  I'm far more concerned about the mental health of our young adults than Covid.[/quote]

Can you acknowledge, somewhere in the echoing chamber of your skull, that contagious airborne diseases are a community risk, and we must team up to protect our most vulnerable? This includes vaccinated people who have waning immunity, the elderly who cannot mount a sufficient immune response despite multiple shots, the medically fragile, those who are allergic to a component of the vaccine and those who cannot yet receive a shot because they are in chemo. It also includes some children.

And when hospitals are overwhelmed, the increased mortality risk reaches EVERYONE, EVEN YOU. People die from easily-treated injuries or illnesses that would in normal times not have sealed their fate! This is happening all over the high-Covid states, in places where there are no ICU beds, or personnel is so beaten down they end up making mistakes.

It's one thing to declare that you are not a team player and you prefer having half a million excess American deaths every year from Covid for the foreseeable future, just so you can lead a normal life (flu kllls 30-50K a year).

It's quite another to say and do silly things without realizing exactly what the consequences are to your community and your country.
