    Maybe, I've been around the world more than once should have died more than once. If this gets me, it gets me, either way I will still live my life like I have, my entire adult life.

    Again the purpose isn’t to prevent everyone from getting it but to keep the rate manageable so hospitals aren’t overwhelmed. They’re becoming overwhelmed in Texas, Arizona and Florida as they were in NY earlier. Another purpose is to extend time so better treatment can be developed (as they have already) and possibly a vaccine.
    Frankly I would rather catch it later as the odds improve rthan early when treatment was hit or miss.

    The one person I know in Plano who caught it was at no fewer than three protests, not that I know she caught it at those. But....neither her husband, nor her daughter caught it, even living in the same house. (She was living, as normal, at home before she knew she had it.)

    Oh, and she's in her mid 50's and is doing well after not having gotten tremendously ill.

    Look at the ICU utilization and try again. There are also multiple quotations from doctors and nurses in the middle of the care that confirms the data.

    In Collin County, with a population of over 1 million, we currently have around 220 hospitalizations for COVID.
