The 32 folk in ICU and nearly 200 in hospital would probably disagree too.
Our local greengrocer and my niece’s husband definitely disagree.
Then there’s the medical and scientific community ?
Whats the answer then?
Hide indoors, locked away doing nothing?
We have all gotten vaccinated. We are all still wearing masks in public.
When we lost my dad back in 2005, we all declared that life was precious and you shouldnt take a minute for granted because it might be the last minute you get to spend with your loved ones. Two years on, we are now in a position where we are adequately protected to get on with it and with the knowledge that the majority of people will be perfectly fine, but these statistics you quote, and these cases LP point to aren't necessarily people who are in hospital because of covid, and (I would know because I saw it up close and personal for the last couple of years) and many of the people I know who are aged, vulnerable, vaccinated, AND got COVID, are still alive and kicking quite happily.
COVID isnt the threat everyone told you it was. Sorry to burst your bubble.
The sooner you all come to terms with the fact that its a matter of when not if, and the fact that when you do it, the odds are overwhelmingly stacked in favour of a perfectly fine recovery and minimal symptoms, the better you will feel about it.
The numbers arent worth talking about, the world is very much ok with COVID, and our infections are not that high considering the trains are full again.
