This is a rough year and covid is here to stay. Anyone who thinks that it isn’t is delusional. There is going to be no way to stop new variants from coming here as long as we have international travel, no masks and social distance standards, and poor testing sensitivity and specificity.
As the variants keep coming from other countries and within our own, it will start impacting demographics that it didn’t before to stay alive. That is the nature of respiratory viruses. Anyone who thinks that the only solution to this problem is getting the whole population vaccinated is mistaken. It will become milder and milder overtime but will continue to take down those that will succumb to it. I am for vaccinations to help ease the burden on the health care system, as well as, decrease the severity of the disease. But I am also for anyone who chooses to wait because that’s there choice. Just wear a mask and sanitize yourself and the environment you are in. Don’t be careless.
Right now, every staff member I know in my hospital that got covid in the last month has been fully vaccinated. But the sickest PATIENTS are unvaccinated. The doctors here are discussing the super variant that basically will spread amongst vaccinated people and render the vaccine useless overtime. This is inevitable. Hence the need for booster shots and eventually maybe a new vaccine or treatment method.
Anyone interested in the history of vaccines check out www.historyofvaccines.org. Educate yourself on the history of viruses and you will kind of understand where we are going.

When I hear directly from someone I know working at the ER who sees the nightmare close up, that is not believing everything I read and hear, that is not media, that is ONE degree of separation from a living hell that many people on the outside chose to ignore.
Well you still have to choose whether or not you believe that person fully, partially, and also whether his story - even if he is being honest - is accurate. That's up for you to decide. For me, I know of no such stories. I think covid is there and for some people it is a problem, but overall I don't agree with the hysteria of it all.
Along with covid, it's seems buzzkill often for good fights these days. If they also stop the avoidance of not fighting the best fights, just jockeying for big pays, and big money fights with old names. And the crossover sport fights. Boxing has done this to itself.
2020 was the worst. At least we have already witness some great fights with audience this year.
In 2020 it was a full blown pandemic. Between injuries and fighters testing positive for COVID when the fight is actually scheduled. Last year they simply couldn't put too many cards together.
