Today, I heard on evening news that total deaths were up 15% over a normal year..........been waiting for an "Excess death figure" to go with all these COVID death figures. I guess in simple math terms, 85% of those that died of covid would of died of something else.......sad to say.
I know, I know.............some perfectly good 60,70,80+folks whio eat right and so forth got hit by the COVID lightning
Overall in our state: 93% of covid deaths over 60 years old , 79% over 70 yo, 52% over 80 yo
This is a 60/70 and up killer.
7% of deaths under 59, 1% 40-49, less than 1% under 40
The under 40 crowd could have gone on living while those older than 40 taken varying degrees of caution up to and including total isolation.
The future (prediction)
Within a few months, the vast majority of USA and SXM vulnerable populations will have had the vaccine or chose not to get it (accept the risk).
SO, say by the 4th of July ( 4 months from now), -------- YES OPEN UP.
2021 HIGH SEASON SHOULD BE A GOOD ONE, FINGERS CROSSED
