The Good News‐A COVID-19 Update
2021-08-26
[American Thinker] Now that we have had 18 months to "slow the spread" it is time to take stock of the pandemic. We have learned many good things that the media and our pandemic managers rarely report. Most fundamentally, we do not need to be afraid of COVID-19 anymore. The media and some government health authorities are still pushing hysteria and fear, but that should not prevail. Let’s look at the good news that can calm our fears about COVID-19. There’ll be time at a later date to look at the bad and the ugly of the resolving pandemic.

1) Globally, the survival rate for COVID-19 is 99.8%. Under the age of 70, the survival rate for COVID-19 is 99.97%. This is on par with many influenza seasons. Americans younger than 70 do not have to fear COVID-19 any more than influenza and we know how to protect the elderly.

Uh, hellooo?
I already get two flu shots in the season.
Now I guess I need a quarterly Covid booster.

#3  Good news is welcome. We have doctor-politicians making policy who have not treated a single patient in years.
