21 per million population. That’s what dies folks. Nothing to see here.
Joy unspeakable full of glory
That was not the deathrate overseas when the virus really got going. And that does not include the people that have not made full recoveries, there and here.
And my guess is those people have underlying health conditions so it isn't really a Covid issue.
No. Some of these people that I have known personally for years were under 40, slimmer, and in better health than most Americans. A young mother, cannot even go for a normal recreational stroll all these months later, and that is NOT what her life was like pre-Covid.
In the urban cities hit first last spring, there was a great disparity in WHO got the virus. The virus hit hardest the Latino populations, and not because of the reasons that are popularly discussed, and the real story of what happened to those people is even less popularly discussed. There is a reason I hightailed it across the country. I did not leave everything and everyone behind for no reason. Stuff was happening.
I believe this winter might be bad, and I was given the opportunity in the lull over the summer to prepare for what I believe is coming. I took it. I hope I am wrong. I want to be wrong. I want people to laugh at me and mock me come spring.
I know what I saw. I know what people I trust are telling me about overseas and back in the hardest hit urban areas
My shortwave radio came in. That is just one more thing I think I might need, come this winter. Yup, "nothing to see here," is what the media might keep telling us.
I don't like debating. I don't want to share things in public that were discussed with me privately. But, I am scared about this winter and about the long-term effects of the virus, reinfection, side-effects of the vaccine, the economy, and politics. I expect things to get messy. Real messy.
A lot happened in the last pandemic that never made the history books and the media. I expect this will be the same. Lots and lots of "nothing to see here."
