- SideburnsOfDoom 5y agoWhat I "really want to be true" is irrelevant, we have to engage with the world as it is, not as we wish it to be. Plans are better if they are based on reality, not on our "bet".
- peteradio 5y agoOk, so to be clear you believe that young people with their covid are clogging up ICUs at a rate of 75% occupancy, and that is based on an off-the-cuff riff from a single person and not validated statistics? Personally I think its clear that they are saying 75% people of all ages are unvaccinated in the ICU, some unmentioned percentage being "younger" i.e 60 rather than 90. That is, not 75% are young and unvaccinated. The poor precision of the sentence lends itself to be understood incorrectly and its unfortunate that un-discerning people pass along their misunderstanding.
