In response to mrjames
I just wonder how people would be approaching this disease if the death rate were the same but the outcomes were more randomly distributed across all demographics.
Today according to the WaPo count, we're already over 70,000 new daily cases. Prior to today, we went over 70,000 only four other times.
As I'm sure you know, the current areas with the highest per capita rates are in more rural parts of the country where many facilities are already taxed to the limit. Up until now, some of these areas had not been significantly impacted by COVID.
Overall, of course, there's no question that the effects up until now have been more concentrated among certain demographics.
