I checked on this myself back in the full swing of things. The three largest hospitals were all pushing the we are overflowing line so I drove to them to see for myself, all empty! They had the convoluted systems of driving to the ER entrance, like you would if there were tons of cars trying to get in but there was literally no one. They had a person at the curb to handle all the incoming traffic so I asked her how it was going, another day just sitting out here doing nothing. She said they hadn’t had a single person come in and she was almost done her shift.
Canada has a lot of hydro, they have been trying to run lines down into NH for years but the environmentalists would rather us burn coal and bat gas instead of clean hydro because some trees would be cut (and replanted) when initially running the buried lines.
Their lives have been too comfortable so far, everyone needs a burden to bear and they never had any real ones, so this is what was handed to them and they took it as far as they can; it’s literally their religion now.
Natural immunity does wane over time, but it never goes away. This is why older folks didn’t get swine flu, it was similar to a strain they had as kids 60+ years prior. Especially as close as august you wouldn’t notice if you came across it as your immune system is still on guard a bit for it and even over time your system will still recognize it and kill it off as it never really forgets.
I love it when things come full circle.
