Current variants of cv19 are surprisingly not killing many of us in the us who are vaccinated and boosted, even among older people. About 250 a day from https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us#graph-deaths-daily https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us#graph-d....
cv19 is at about the same death rate as a pretty bad influenza year (250*365 = 91k). I do think covid is serious, I'm the only person in my new software job that wears an n95 at work (2 people with covid in the last month in our small office). I'm actually considering quitting because I was promised we were going to be a remote first company and now the ceo doesn't want that.
I worry about long covid and the potential for new variants that are more deadly again. I have wondered why we have not had new deadly flu variants like 1918, is it just luck?
