If everyone would extend that kind of friendship and consideration even the new variant could be beaten down in the U.S.

Ok, my first question is if these “neighbors or close friends” have received their vaccine or are they the unvaccinated population? If they are then why is it my responsibility to protect them if they won’t protect themselves. I am vaccinated. I have read the CDC stats on the death rates in the US and they are primarily unvaccinated individuals or vaccinated individuals with underlying conditions. The chance of a vaccinated individual dying from Covid is .0006% which means that you have a 99.994% chance of surviving an infection. The chance of dying from an automobile accident is .0009% yet we all still drive cars
Now if you want to look at a real pandemic compare the Spanish flu of 1918 to today’s so-called pandemic
WORLD POPULATION
1918. 1,800,000,000
2021 7,850,000,000
CASES
1918. 500,000,000
2021 196,040,884
% of POPULATION INFECTED
1918. 27.8%
2021. 2.5%
% of WORLD POPULATION DEATHS from virus
1918. 2.78%
2021 0.054%
For Covid to equal the same number as the Spanish Flu:
There would have to be a total of 2,182,300,000 confirmed cases, currently there are only 196,040,884 cases. That means there would have to be an additional 1,986,259,116 cases to equal the percentage of the 1928-1920 pandemic
There would have to be 216,666,667 deaths, currently there are only 4,188,536 deaths. That means there would have to be an additional 212,478,131 deaths to equal the percentage of the 1918-1920 pandemic.
The world survived that devastating pandemic and I’m sure the world will survive this “pandemic”
And now we have the vaccine so all this crying wolf over this virus is getting old. People die everyday from something. If it’s my time then it’s my time but I’m going to live my life. I was concerned when it first was known back in 2020 but we have learned so much about it now. I for one am not afraid of it and am sick and tired of hearing about it
