"More than 2,000 Covid-19 deaths have been reported in the United States each day for the past month"
This is 2 weeks old and already out of date. Numbers are in freefall. It's now at 1,357. And cases have dropped sharply and consistently for a few weeks which means the (lagging) drop in deaths will continue for a few weeks.
It's still about four airplanes worth of people crashing daily, to put it into perspective.
Not to mention people under immunosuppression or legitimately unable to get vaccinated (e.g. allergies or immunodeficient) - these poor souls are effectively locked into their homes as a permanent jail.
I know a couple of people who are in exactly that predicament. They're scared shitless of catching the virus - and they need 24/7 at-home assistance, which means at least five people that could potentially catch and transmit the virus.
Being vaccinated does not prevent the spread or infection, it only reduces the severity of symptoms, so this doesn't work. Having a vaccinated person sit with them is just as unsafe as an unvaccinated person. Testing, with a period of isolation before contact, is the only safe method. This is what I have to do with my mom.
