Here is an anecdotal story for you...
A county (pop. 425,000) government has an IT Department of six people, all under the age of 60.
In June, five of the six IT staff members became ill with Covid. Four of the six people were hospitalized with Covid. Two of the six people died. One of the deaths occurred at home. One of the deaths occurred in the hospital. Three of the hospitalized people with Covid were eventually discharged home to continue recovering from Covid.
Five of six employees in one IT Department. The department was decimated for weeks while five of six full time employee positions were out of service.
One employee did not get Covid. This was the only employee who had been vaccinated in the IT Department. This employee was left to do the work of six people until more could be hired to fill in for the five positions with employees who were too ill or dead.
The costs of Covid are greater than the two employees who died. Three other IT staff members were unable to work for weeks while they were hospitalized, subsequently recovering at home after discharge.
One of the graphs in post #227 shows hospitalizations for 2020 and 2021. It shows the summer peak.
The costs of COVID extend to the entire economy. Some are the result of examples like you cited while others are due to disastrous public policy. How much did the lockdowns cost the airlines and restaurants and all the activities that support them? How many people are leaving their jobs due to vaccine mandates?
