I saw a while back the majority of Covid patients in hospitals were either mild or asymptomatic cases. Too many people are being unnecessarily hospitalized. Cynics might point out maybe it's because hospitals still get an extra $13,000 per Covid patient. It's naive to think there's none of that going on.
I guess what I'm really asking is, does it make sense for Cornell, for example, to shut campus down even though everyone is vaccinated? Does it make sense for sports leagues to ban players, even though they're vaccinated and in a demographic that id statistically safe from this? Does it make sense for a young epidemiologist who's fully vaccinated and boostered, Dr. Bronwyn MacInnes, to avoid gatherings as she said she will do in a USA Today article?
Then what's the point of being vaccinated? Look. Variants are going to come in waves for years. If we're continually going to shut down for years every time a variant appears, then it shows fear and panic have replaced sound decision making.
