    Something that really shocks me about COVID is how we talk about it, how it's portrayed in the news. Even this thread if you went back and read it, knew nothing about COVID, and drew a conclusion a person would think that if you got it it's a death sentence, and everyone who gets it is going to the hospital. That isn't the case. It's like a 6% chance of being hospitalized. I vaccinated because I think its the right thing to do in protecting everyone, but I'm also not willing to demonize others for not getting the shot.

    Right, 650,000 deaths is just a drop in the bucket. No problem with playing Russian Roulette with seven cylinders is only a 14% chance. Those sound like awesome odds too. Until you think of the fact there’s a bullet in there somewhere.
