Well, at our house we are on shot #3 in a county with more than 70% fully 
vaccinated.    Somehow there are still hospitals though that have few ICU beds 
left.

Nick,

The hysteria seems appropriate, though perhaps unsustainable. I was going to 
say that deaths are surely down relative to a year ago, but this isn't really 
the case. As Frank says, the real question is whether you are part of the 
general that the deaths are happening in, or whether you are part of some other 
general, so that you can uncomfortably feel like your odds of being infected 
and noticeably impacted by covid are small, even though your status as a fair 
die remains fraught. Either way, covid is here to stay.

Best,
Alex

Hysterical Nick just looked at the numbers for the first time in several weeks 
and was startled to find that the case rate in santa fe is 41 per 10^5, which 
is roughly where we were last year ahead of the holiday blowout.  Only this 
year, almost everybody I know is planning to stand around hot steamy kitchens 
drinking and yelling at their relatives over politics.   I can no longer 
manipulate the doh website to find out the present demographics or zipcode of 
the epidemic so I have to assume that there are approximately 600 people 
currently infected with covid and that they are all standing in line with me at 
Whole Foods.

Has any of you don’t deeper and less hysterical thinking about this?
