Not trying to stir the pot, but here are some actual numbers from our state (NC, USA).
Total cases to date: 901,262
Total deaths: 11,860
Mortality rate: 1.3%
Number of tests: 11,087,748 (in a population of about 10 mil.).
Restaurants have been open @ 50% cap. since Aug. Bars since Sept. Schools are on a rotating schedule of virtual and classroom.
Life here is about 90% normal, masks are required, but not strictly enforced.
The economy is back up and doing fine, virtually all at risk citizens have been jabbed, essential folks have had at least one stick, and anyone can call and get the vaccine if doses are available at the end of each day.
No travel restrictions at all.
Seems to me that its time to push things back to normal
Im kinda hoping it’ll be like that in the UK in the next few weeks. Problem with most of the rest of Europe is they’re a long way behind on vaccinations because unlike the USA and UK they didn’t order them till much later. For the first time I’m actually glad we’re no longer in the EU, after dragging their feet they’re now moaning like the whiny kid about getting their fair share.
