It is not, and never has been, about deaths alone. Long covid produces serious and possibly permanent (who knows yet?) neurological damage. Patients have lost limbs to blood clots due to covid. Recovery for some takes months. Hospitals are again overwhelmed and simply can't provide care to those who need it. Medical comas and intubations are not "minor inconveniences" if you don't die outright..@benwallacewells captures the perplexing moment we’re in, when cases are rising sharply, but deaths are not. How exactly do we recalibrate our level of personal risk? https://t.co/UJFQoEzmr3

The bad information swirling around is not all from 12 people on Facebook or the GOP death cult.
I'm pretty shocked at how ignorant the college-credentialied are about these things, especially the ones hired to type out stuff for the media, including the supposedly elite media.
