Where in the world do you get your "facts?"

Hospitalizations are high and climbing! Deaths always lag cases and are now beginning to climb. Yes, they are low and hopefully will stay that way but it's too soon to tell.

The flu facts are correct, it kills more than 20K in a normal year. What we also know is Covid has so far gotten over 35M people "a bit sick" and more than 613K of them have died.

I agree with the statement about the vaccinated. For those that are unvaccinated - they should worry!
