No not at all, I think it has slowed the death rate but saved zero people.
Everyone has to adjust to some basic truths that the media isn’t talking about.
The first is something like 40-70 million Americans have had or currently have COVID. Once you look at the death rate from that perspective it’s not nearly as bad.
In the US we currently have 7 mutations, so a vaccine may work on one of those but not on all of them, aka vaccine isn’t going to happen.....ever.....at all. It’s a total false hope.
As an fyi there’s 4 strains that are mild to no symptoms and 3 which seem to be more severe. Guess which ones NE has and which ones Cali has?
We have already passed the point where the hospital system will be overwhelmed, our hospitalization modeling was just wrong, since so many people have mild symptoms we don’t really run the risk of overwhelming the hospitals at all....also hospitals have to adjust and accept that everyone is getting this and stop treating it like Ebola. That will open up a lot more hospital beds.
Lastly and most importantly, 80% of the people dying are 60 years old or older and obese. 10% are 60 or older and not obese. Out of the other 10% dying, 80% of those people are obese.
