1. It Is What It Is

The only questions that remain are how high it will go, and how long it will last.

I think we'll see 300K+ Daily Cases & 2,000 Daily Deaths and the wave will last until October.

2. I'll second that. Seems about right.

I think the dead toll will be another 100k to 300k. 300k if our hospital systems totally break down, which they are very close to now.

3. Just hope you don't need major medical care for the next couple months.

Any surgery that isn’t needed immediately will be postponed.

4. I So Wish We Could Postpone Covid Care For The Unvaccinated Above Age 12 nt

5. Back in December, when I was having a heart attack,

I was reluctant to go to the Emergency Department at my local hospital because (among other concerns) I was worried they couldn't take me in if I didn't have Covid. Fortunately, the local Emergency Department had plenty of room for me. I was fortunate. The heart attack was dealt with appropriately, and I recovered quite well.

Some months on, after cardiac rehab, I am doing quite well. Thank you very much.
