Biden official warns: COVID explosion imminent

14. Agreed.

I also think that we are well past the point of persuasion. People who aren't vaxed by now won't. They don't care. Those of us who do care will pay attention, ignore the cries of hysteria, mask up, avoid crowds and shop online or off hours.

Then there are those in the middle like my parents. They are vaxed because they trust their doctors, but they still watch Fox and think everything the government says and does is BS and that the pandemic will never end so why bother with masks or anything else. They think I'm a hysterical ninny for doing all I can to protect my 11 mo old unvaxed grandson.

People definitely need to grow up and stop treating accurate information as hysteria. The professionals have been saying from the beginning that COVID19 was likely to evolve into something worse if we didn't take measures to stop it. We didn't. And here we are. 800K dead with record hospitalizations and death counts 22 months into this pandemic. Our hospitals are full and medical staff are breaking down. I saw a report today that 96% of ICU beds in my state are occupied.

But sure, let's worry about hysteria.
