"It's the flu is more obvious now".
Since when, since 1918, has the flu killed 600,000 Americans in a little over a year. An argument can be made that some of those people would have died from underlying conditions. The fact is that they didn't until they contracted covid.
Now I heard a report on KAKE that someone 29 years old got covid in Kingman and the closest hospital that would take a covid patient was in Denver. That person died.
If you want to see more than 2,500 to 5,000 people in CKA this fall and winter, you should do your best to convince everybody you know to get their shots and mask up so we can get covid under control before basketball starts up. There's a possibility none of this year's Fr will ever see a full CKA.
The 3 population groups with the lowest vaccination rates are (in no particular order) African-Americans, Hispanics, and Republicans. The large majority of my Republican friends are fully vaccinated. Party affiliation is implied in vaccination rates, but that seems to be coincidental rather than a cause-effect relationship. There's something other than party affiliation driving vaccinaction rates.
I've run into CDC reports that 99.99% of vaccinated people who get a breakthrough case do not develop conditions resulting in hospitalization. That's 1 out of 10,000 vaccinated people with a breakthrough case end up in the hospital. That's some damn fine odds.
I've run into nothing about breakthrough cases among people who've previously contacted covid. Anybody have any stats on recurrence and severity of recurrence among those who've contacted covid.
