COVID surges don't only affect one's ability to be treated at the hospital. It also affects the ability to: attend school, buy food, have something delivered, have your trash picked up, take your dog to the vet. When too many people are sick to work, who'll do these things?
We just learned that our school closures will now extend at least through mid January. Why? Because the spread is so bad here that they don't have enough staff to support in-person learning. wlwt.com/article/cincin…
For us, it doesn't matter, because I'd elected for my kids to be completely remote. But I'm sure it matters to others. And it'll sure as hell matter when grocery stores can't keep up and city services slow down or stop.

For people yelling about closing businesses: guess what? When you ignore science and do whatever the hell you want, your business will have to close when people are too sick to work, or too sick to come. It won't matter if you believe in it or not.
