If Russia is being honest with their cases numbers, about 1 in 17 Russians have tested postive for covid. Overall, about 1 in 7 Americans have tested positive for covid.
Elderly did do their part and stayed at home. The 60 million over 65 who could afford it keeping Instacart and Uber drivers busy and happy with their delivery grocery orders and those who couldn’t afford deliveries going grocery shopping during 7am “senior hours”. Seniors were the first to vaccinate at a current going rate of 85% to 90%
Lack of knowledge of how to treat and how the virus worked, caused the deaths last year. The deaths this year are a result of more contageous mutation combined with apathy and denial.
One in 8 Californians, one in 7 in Texas, one in 8 in New York, one in 7 in North Carolina, one in 5 in Tennessee have had a confirmed case of covid (to cover a few of the top ten under the US category). That’s reported cases vs state pop. Very few of the current 1,600 cases a day, 750 thousand deaths to date were spread by old folks laying in beds in nursing homes or shut-ins in apartments or the millions of seniors who are still engaged in advoidance behavors. And the group now more likely to be hospitalized are those 30-50.
I can agree with this.

I'm with you on this for the reasons you gave above. Especially, as you pointed out, since a great many of the "old folks" got the jab.
