BTW..........Where do you get your statistic of 4/100s of 1%, given your age and health?
According to the CDC the odds of someone my age being hospitalized with Covid are 266.3 in 100,000, that’s .00267. Also according to the CDC 87% of those hospitalized were obese or overweight. I’m neither. That further lowers my odds to .00035. The CDC also said that the majority of those hospitalized had an average is 2.6 of the these pre existing conditions; diabetes, heart disease, lung disease or hypertension. So, actually without those, my odds drop to virtually zero. I’ll take those odds over an unproven vaccine technology
