RE: 99% effective if you do nothing.

I don’t think being infected with Covid is 99% effective in preventing hospitalization.

That 99% ( actually 99.3% ) is the SURVIVAL rate ( including those who were hospitalized ).

Bottom line is we don’t want our hospitals swamped with Covid patients.

Hospitals had an average of 1 bed for every 1,100 people in a given area in 1975. Hospitals now have one bed for every 9,000 people in the same.

A stoudt batch of heroin or a pile-up on the interstate overwhelms hospitals these days.

Their business model was reshaped by insurance companies into purely outpatient scheduled services. Five times the patients thru-put with no admissions.

We aren't prepared for a disaster bigger than a popcorn fart.
