That is true, but anyone who believes that honest statistics are real can see the huge number of "excess" deaths that did occur in this country above the trend line.
There were a lot of "excess" retirements, too.
Not everyone impacted by COVID died. The folks struggling with Long Covid are also a very real group and larger than some might think.
My point really is that we can look in hindsight and see some of the mistakes but at the time decisions were being made, there was no playbook and everyone was doing the best they could.
The Red Sox are sadly not competitive and have been decimated by injuries as well. I'm not sure they would have been competitive if they didn't get crushed by injuries. We will see if the Yankees can turn it around in the post season this year. Soto makes that club much better.
