(50,949 posts)get the vaccine now, so unless they're worried about Bill Gates tracking them(by a means other than that smart phone that they keep running all day long) they can make themselves safe.
But I have noticed too. I live in NY. The numbers got up to around 8-9000 per day and just hung there for WEEKS. It is terrifying. Finally they're dropping, but it took a long, long time.

I understand more young people are getting sick. But, it would be way worse as far as hospitalizations and deaths if the older people didn't get higher number of vaccinations.
