Funny how we're high on anecdotes from longtime left wing doctors/nurses, but extremely low on actual data.
But I guess vilifying Republican governors is more important, because we have 2022 and 2024 to think about, amirite?
Define “rate”. It’s a very important distinction.
There are more kids and younger aged people making up the overall population of people in ICU’s and deaths on a percentage basis now compared to a year ago.
The rate at which Covid or delta or theta or whatever Greek alphabet variant you want to use is impacting kids and younger people is unchanged to a year ago.
The appearance of higher % of instances is because the group that kids and other young people are being compared too is vaccinated at a much higher rate. People 65 and over at 73% plus, 40 and under are less than half.
The overall impact to vaccinated older people has greatly improved while the younger/kids bucket has improved but at a much slower rate.
You need to look at all the variables when you talk about this shit. Half the population can’t seem to wrap their heads around it.
As the great Yogi Berra once said, 50% of all statistics are made up.
