My comment was more aimed at the things we can control. Less co-morbidities statistically means a lesser chance of getting very sick or dying. Some of those we can control, some we can’t.
Yeah, but if 95% of the attributable risk is due to age, it tells you that even after you’ve fixed all the other problems, assuming you actually can, nothing much is going to change. And that’s important in resource allocation, especially since millions of kids just lost most of a school year, and 3 million more appear to have dropped out of the system altogether.

It’s absolutely criminal what has happened to kids the past 18 months. I know kids that are nowhere near their former selves after being isolated from the world for a year in their formative years.

The one person I know that died of Covid was about 5’8”, 350lbs, and type 2 diabetic(strictly due to his weight he said). Had he been even 50-75lbs lighter it would have been so much easier on him. Had he been a proper weight, he wouldn’t have had the diabetes issue and Covid would likely have been a few unpleasant days and then recovered.

The old “choices have consequences” thing rears its ugly head again.

Protecting the elderly and otherwise compromised people and otherwise keeping the world open and functioning normally would have likely resulted in far fewer deaths and certainly far less economic devastation.

Very clearly in the 9th and 10th Amendments.

Masks on airlines are here to stay at least for as long as the current administration is in power. They will keep extending the mandate. Even if 100% vaccination were reached(or if only vaccinated are allowed to fly) they will move the goal posts again and say that you have to mask to protect everybody else in case you have Covid and don’t know it.

The push now is “protect the vaccinated”….how does that make sense?
