My state is essentially out of ICU beds. There are a handful left in Portland. That directly affects anyone that might get in a car accident, severe infection, etc. Most hospitals in this state stopped elective surgery. That effects anyone that has an 'elective' surgury like removing a tumor, delay means they will get much, much worse and have an increased chance of dying.
While I'm all for 'personal choice', I feel like COVID cases should be de-prioritized for ICU access.

Leaky vaccines provide a high degree of selective pressure on viruses. Who knew?!
Literally hundreds of renowned virologists and epidemiologists, that's who.
Renowned virologists and epidemiologists. You mean the same ones that are telling everyone to get the vaccine?

There are credible people on both sides of the argument.
We’re in a tech forum do I really need to explain this? The probability of an individual hard drive failing is small. If you’re building a gaming rig, you don’t need to worry about it, if you’re building a data center that small probability becomes a problem.
How can you possibly believe those choices aren’t having an effect when we are living the consequences of those actions? The number of cases are going up, younger people are dying, hospitals are filling to capacity.
