Other than the obvious. Old, obese, asthmatic, copd, high blood pressure, diabetic…all risk factors. Beyond that?

Population density, housing choices (high density v low density) open windows, Vitamin D levels, self selection bias (old people who retire to FL probably more successful than average for many reasons), public transport, diet…a million things.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens in FL over the next few months.

From the White House gov site, this bold prediction:

“We are intent on not letting Omicron disrupt
work and school for the vaccinated. You've
done the right thing, and we will get through
this.

For the unvaccinated, you're looking at a
winter of severe illness and death for
yourselves, your families, and the hospitals
you may soon overwhelm.“
