When hospitals are overwhelmed by the so called “nothing but a cold”, and you have a heart attack or some other emergency and waiting outside the hospital, you will then understand when it’s too late.
Take a look at what’s currently happening at El Paso Texas. There’s no hospital to go to.
This. A million times. I live in an area where people are so more often than not downplaying how big of a deal Covid itself is because "99% have no lasting symptoms. Just a bad cold is all." or "My spouse had it. NBD."
Mostly, you can't convince them otherwise. But I wish they could just see the effect it would have on non-covid hospital cases and think about that, if nothing else.
