We have different stats -- Hospitals were empty here and pretty much everywhere except during a few peak periods of time. I know a few people who were hospitalized here and California. California was overloaded in couple areas because of the border needing treatment -- info per the medical community. Of course Los Angeles hospitals were busting at the seams during certain times.
I don't know about Astra Zeneca but Pfizer and Moderna have cleaned up with profits. Moderna's profits were up 13% within the first 2 weeks of distribution of injections. Pfizer has made great profits. Federal gov't has paid for all this -- the taxpayer but money well spent if the vacs work.
You're making ludicrous statements. Any virus can be dangerous and deadly especially to the aged and infirm. Of course some younger people have been slammed hard with it. I never indicated otherwise.
Did lose a family member during COVID - last June and the hospital was empty - so desperate for patients and low staffed.
I'm personally very cautious and limit my association with anyone - have looked homeless for a year now.
