How are your states/region doing with covid?

14. I'm beginning to realize it is too localized to decide.

In Orange County, the largest in Central Florida and Democratic masks are common and vaccination rates are decent for Florida. Just 40 miles away, Pasco County, also in Central Florida although west central there have been no real efforts from the git-go. Very red county.

Orange County has 3.2 million people and have had 1,300 deaths.

Pasco County has 562K residents and 800 deaths.

You do the math. But unless I figure it wrong, which is possible, residents of Orange County have a .04 percentage chance of dying from Covid. Pasco a .1 percent chance. Keep in mind, this is all residents, not Covid positive people.

And our ICU rates are also not indicative over our very local conditions. Many of the people in them have been transported from rural areas with little or no real ICU space.

This is truly a killing of the unvaccinated people. I know we read anecdotal accounts of breakthrough cases on DU including some of our valued members. And I’m still taking all my precautions. But I no longer fear dying. No more than from other activities in my life. But don’t want to get sick and perhaps kill an unvaccinated idiot.
