Daily case numbers are a useless stat. Don't be deceived. Furthermore, it does not matter if there is ever a vaccine.

The answer to Covid/WuFlu is in the profile. Yes, I know profiling is a politically incorrect word. But profiling is the top tool in the arsenal of both preventive law enforcement and preventive medicine.

Covid was never a catastrophe of epic and uncontrollable proportions. It may have initially seemed that way due to two major mistakes by the political and medical communities.

On the political side, Govs shove patients in nursing homes and long term care facilities creating killing fields.

On the med side (and this is from a discussion w/ a Cardiologist) originally physicians were treating WuFlu as ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) and were thus utilizing ventilators incorrectly. During the first 60 days of WuFlu's rise 90% or more of patients on vents were dying.

Even though DEM run states have attempted to artificially inflate numbers to damage your Pres, the data still clearly presents a very distinct PROFILE of those who struggle w/ this virus. Most of whom are infected never experience a symptom.

The profile is well defined. If you have the following conditions in this order of priority you are high risk: Hypertension, Diabetes, Cardiac Disease, Chronic Kidney Disease, or Obesity. That is top 6 comorbidities. Also, if you are over the age of 70 you are higher risk unless you are very healthy.

Kids, young adults, healthy seniors even, are not at risk statistically. In fact, many things they do in their daily lives on a normal basis are riskier.

If you have any links off hand on the cross immunity I'd love to read them. That's not something I've heard of and I'd like to read more about it so I'm better equipped to argue with the covid fear-mongers. Edit: did a google search like a non-lazy asshole.
