Even if it's not killing a high enough amount of folks to warrant concern by VMFA and the like, it is destroying our economy along with our healthcare system. Wife had a friend who had a stroke, she had to be flown by airplane 4 hours north of the major city we live in to one of the few remaining ICU beds in the state. Our healthcare workers have been doing this for 9+ months now. It's not sustainable. What's going to give first? The denial of raw data and science is mind boggling.
Our school district has been trying its hardest to stay open as much as possible. The city district hasn't been in person since early summer. We are in person a couple times a week and even that wasn't sustainable due to teachers/students contracting it outside of school and forcing quarantine measures and class shutdowns. My kid hasn't talked to another teenager in the flesh since before christmas break.
We're proper fucked.
