I have been over COVID since early April but like many many others I have developed a medical condition PROBABLY as a result of COVID that I am dealing with. Thankfully it is not life threatening and not disabling and is treatable.
But this virus is no joke. The latest figures indicate the mortality rate here in NY is way way down, for unknown reasons since the infection rate has tripled recently. But the long term effects are real, people don't generally recover from the flu and discover it has caused other problems.
So I have to support their decisions if it helps stop the spread. Some of what the politicians have done is just plain wrong, COVID is not less infectious in Walmart than in Church.
And it is not more infectious at a Trump rally than at an Antifa riot.
That being said, losing a basketball season sucks, but it won't change our lives (for the players, that is another matter, but the good of 12 or 13 people does not replace the needs of the population as whole).
And cut the crap and get the vaccine out there.
