    @thirdperson

    What you described is called "endemic"

    That is what we have now.  Not a "pandemic".  

    Endemic.  Please spread the word to your two friends here so they stop referring to it as a pandemic.  This is here to stay, get used to it.  

    You will not survive here. You are not a wolf, and this is the land of wolves now...

    That is false.    Palau is not part of the US, as a state or a territory.

    It used to be under US trusteeship several decades ago but that ended in 1986

    Palau is a sovereign nation which entered into a "Compact of Free Association" with the United States on Oct. 1, 1994

    Citizens of Palau are not citizens or nationals of the United States.

    The US also has similar "Compacts of Free Association" with the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) and the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), and similarly those are not considered part of the US either.

    If you are going to include US TERRITORIES (islands not IN/connected to the Continental US) as "places in the US" then please make sure you get your FACTS within your misinformation straight.... 

    Palau is 88% vaxxed

     

    .....fact checking is slipping around here.... 

     

     

     

     

    That is false.    Palau is not part of the US, as a state or a territory.

    It used to be under US trusteeship several decades ago but that ended in 1986

    Palau is a sovereign nation which entered into a "Compact of Free Association" with the United States on Oct. 1, 1994

    Citizens of Palau are not citizens or nationals of the United States.

    The US also has similar "Compacts of Free Association" with the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) and the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), and similarly those are not considered part of the US either.

     Guam (/'gw??m/ ([image from unapproved source]listen); Chamorro: Guåhan ['g??h?n]) is an organized, unincorporated territory of the United States in the Micronesia subregion of the western Pacific Ocean. It is the westernmost point and territory of the United States (reckoned from the geographic center of the U.S.); in Oceania, it is the largest and southernmost of the Mariana Islands and the largest island in Micronesia. Guam's capital is Hagåtña, and the most populous village is Dededo.

     

    If you want to argue semantics, THIRDp IS STILL WRONG....Guam is number 2 ahead of Puerto Rico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It's much easier to restrict residents of an island than the main land.

     

    Los Angles has a population of 3.9 million with 503 square miles

    Puerto Rico has 3.1 million people with  3,515 square miles.

    PR is 7 times larger than LA and has 25% less people.

    Oahu (Hawaii) has 900,000 residents with 597 square miles. Again, much easier to control islands with small populations and less travelers.

    Obviously the virus is not going to spread nearly as much which lowers the death count.

     

    Try to keep comparisons close, otherwise you're stretching.

     

    The US also has the largest obesity % relative to population.

    Obesity is also a leading cause of complications from covid.

    Adverse events after vaccination are very rare.  Other countries have their own version of US vaccine reporting system.  Public health Ontario received 15770 (0.067%) reports out of 23,265,008 vaccine doses administered.  Investigations found 14,864 (94%) of all reports are non-serious.  For example, most common side effect is skin reaction.  906 (6%) of reports are serious.  Only 21 blood clots and 556 heart inflammation which are easily treatable.  Odds of winning lottery is far better.

    BNT162b2 Vaccine Booster and Mortality Due to Covid-19*

    Participants who received a booster at least 5 months after a second dose of BNT162b2 had 90% lower mortality due to Covid-19 than participants who did not receive a booster.--the New England Journal of Medicine

    https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2115624

    *R. Arbel, et. el., Israel. 

    90% of booster efficacy is very encouraging, we have the tools to fight this pandemic. People need to take the booster shots to their protections.
