It is very informative as it represents the reality we live in - the people who matter, either don't get covid or breeze through it; fuck everyone else.

Off the top of my head:
Mild illness/no symptoms: 4 people
- mid 70s (with cancer)
- 30 and 18 year olds with no underlying health issues.
- Late 40s, firefighter with no symptoms other than loss of taste and smell, however persistent issues with inflammation or circulation in the legs afterwards. All unvaccinated, as this was before there were vaccines and therefore major variants as well.
Moderate illness: 2 people
- 30 year old nurse (maybe in part due to more exposure?) with no underlying health issues. Flu-like symptoms, before vaccinations and early into the pandemic.
- 30 year old with no underlying health issues, flu-like symptoms and persisting weakness/tiredness in the legs afterwards, he will not be getting vaccinated.
Severe illness: 3 people
- 30-35 year old with no underlying health issues, was sick for almost a month. Fever, vomiting, coughing, etc.
- Mid 50s, active lifter with no underlying health issues, was very sick for 2-3 weeks, lost a good amount of weight because of it.
- Late 70s, had to be briefly hospitalized and put on oxygen. All were before vaccinations.
Fatal: 2 people
- mid 70s with multiple health issues, early into the pandemic before vaccinations.
- Just two weeks ago another relative passed away as well, in his mid 50s with, from what I understand, no underlying health issues other than perhaps a little extra weight. Former Marine, so I would assume he was still in ok shape. Him and his whole family are supposedly vaccinated, my Aunt thinks that's a lie but my Mom says there is no way that he was not vaccinated. I've never met him, so I cannot say, but I do know he was a big Trump supporter so take from that what you will.

Deceiving stats though. 40m people have been double vaccinated, about 10m people are aged 0-14 (under 12s cannot be vaccinated) in this country, and the majority are unlikely to have been vaccinated. The UK population total is about 65m. Officially 75% of adults have been double-vaccinated, and hospital admissions are overwhelmingly adults: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...insights/hospitals#hospital-admissions-by-age That 55% of unvaccinated people in hospital are maybe 25% of the population, and that is a top-end figure.
More kids are getting infected, and hospital admissions in comparison to January numbers are high because they are far less likely to be vaccinated. Older people are still dying more frequently than them, it would most likely still be the case for vaccinated >80 against unvaccinated <14, for obvious health reasons.
Does seem like the Delta variant is more transmissible than any of the earlier variants, but I think that has been considered at an early stage.

Maybe you misunderstood me.
First of all, I'm not American so don't try to project your liberal/conservative dichotomy onto me.
When I said I would start worrying if my peers started getting sick, I meant I would be worried about catching the virus myself. Not to say that I don't care about older, vulnerable people dying

Why the fuck are Americans dying like flies from this shit? I know like a dozen of 60+ year olds on medication for countless diseases in their entire bodies who brushed this off. My great aunt who has been battling lymphoma for three years, taking in cycle after cycle of chemo and radiotherapy defeated covid. My uncle has had pneumonia like 5 times in the last 10 years, defeated covid
Fix your fucking nutrition or polution or whatever, stop weakening your body's immune defences with pill culture or else don't complain if you are getting Darwin'd.
Your post reads like: My friends homo erectus and neanderthalensis also didn't make it but they don't count, so no problem there...
PS: Avoiding the vac is not the hill I want to die on so if there are too many restrictions for my comfort I'll take it but for now and for covid alone it's not worth it.

- Medical care costs are obscene if you don't have good insurance, and sometimes even if you do. This goes beyond just specifically COVID, as people live with undiagnosed or untreated healthcare issues. For example, my brother had a tooth infection, but his insurance will not cover it because he got work done on it before and they don't cover "rework." "You did nothing wrong and the dentist fucked up? lol Fuck you, $2,000 or live with pain. We will continue to collect money from your paychecks though, have a nice day."

Why does Germany have 1100 dead/million? I thought you Germans had the best hospitals and were healthy, fit, robust machines. But you have 400 dead/million more than us Canadians who are basically like slightly less obese, slightly more healthy ‘muricans. Get your shit sorted. Kick out all those unhealthy immigrants or something.
Don’t worry; should be fine.
Totally agree with the health care system in the US. It sucks big time.
IMHO, the insurance companies are evil. The way they deny treatment is criminal.
$1300-2000 per month premiums with a $3000-10000 deductible and you still don’t get your treatment partially or even fully covered.

Not that the government is any better.
