I’m not sure what you think I admitted or what place I have arrived at. It is a crappy cold because I got vaccinated. In my province, 93% of adults are vaccinated and our hospitals are still being stretched to the max. The ICU’s are disproportionately filled with people who are unvaccinated. They get sicker and they stay longer and many do not leave at all. The people who do go home have a long road ahead of them. It takes many an enormous amount of therapy to recover. Some have so much nerve damage in their extremities that they can’t even walk or feed themselves. They have months and months of rehab just to be able to leave the hospital and then many more months of outpatient therapy after that. This is not a crappy cold for a lot of people. If everyone who got it had my experience, we would not have to worry about it at all. But…1% of people don’t (the numbers in my area are actually 5% lately). One per cent of almost everyone is still a h3ll of a lot of people and it is why our medical systems are stretched to the max and beyond. The restrictions aimed at slowing the spread are important because they hopefully prevent the 1% from needing care all at the same time. That’s the point of it. Not to stop it. No one thinks that is possible anymore.
Also… if it is you or someone you love who needs hospitalization or ends up in the ICU, the odds don’t mean anything. I know of at least two people in their 30’s who had no underlying health issues and whose kids no longer have a mother and a father. Neither of these people got vaccinated because they didn’t think they would be in the 1%. They were wrong and their kids are paying the price for it.
