I know eventually we’d have to get back to normal after the pandemic, but I don’t think it’s quiet over just yet.
True, variant strains of the virus have been noted in certain sections of the world. Where I work, our COVID numbers have dropped, but we are still seeing critical COVID patients on life support. Some patients have passed as well from complications. I have seen more death in medicine last 1.5 years than in the other 26.5 years of my medical background. Yes, I am ready to move on and get this over with more than most folks.
Fun Fact! The CDC reports that in 2019 there were 2,614,950 deaths in the US and in 2020 there were 2,877,601. That coronavirus sure came close to wiping us out! Sounds like a reasonable reason to shut down an entire country and destroy an economy to me. 99.97% recovery rate. The CDC also states that the vast majority of the people who died were very obese and had health issues. Maybe if we took better care of ourselves in thus country instead of being slobs we wouldn’t have to worry about such a weak virus and our immune systems could actually do their jobs. That being said, I hope this event sells all 60,000 seats and no one is wearing a mask and has the time of their lives. If you’re afraid of getting sick still, STAY HOME!
Berserker, I will say the USA could do a much better job of taking care of themselves based on the increased rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. A friend of mine owns a funeral home and says caskets have gotten larger and more expensive over the last few decades. Very sad. People rely way too much on taking medicines to “fix” them when in fact, lifestyle changes would make the most positive impact.
On a side note, I was one of the first groups to receive the Moderna mRNA vaccine in the two-shot regimen. I have no regrets and do feel confident I have some immune protection. Have a great weekend.
I agree with berserker 1000%
There was never a pandemic to begin with.
I have my tickets and will be front and center. Im excited! Hoping for a great fight!! Its gonna be nice to be around the fight scene with people again.
Have a wonderful time.
damn bro congrats i know you paid like 10k for that seat yikes
The librarian speaks again. Did you lend him the money? Yikes.
Yea bud. For sure… They were pretty steep on price BUT ive been saving all my lunch money for a good minute. Lets hope it pays off.
I wish I could go to see it. but I sure be watching it on DAZN. enjoy it.
enjoy the fight. I’ll be watching it on DAZN.
Saunders doesn’t have the power to pose a real risk for Canelo.
If this event ends up bringing in 100,000 live spectators, then the governors of all blue states still locking their residence down could get recalled (not just Gavin newsom)
I think Saunders has the style, skill and height to outpoint Canelo.
