Maine’s case rate is half of what Florida’s was at their peak. Also, look at Maine at a more local level. The areas driving the state case numbers are the areas with significantly lower vaccination numbers than the state average. Beyond that- yes, deaths are the most important stat, and Maine is doing amazingly well there. Vaccinated communities save lives, period.

Drifting a little bit, but one of my compatriots from a reserve unit was the proverbial late 30s healthy runner, who ran 5Ks and 10Ks all the time, and crushed the PRT each year. Pilot with SWA. Then he had a heart issue and was down for over a year, before they did some kind of invasive procedure that allowed him to get back on up status. He still flies, last I checked. Big scare.
His wife was also one of those super fit obsessive runner types. Their together time hobby was going to races. She died of a heart attack mid-run in her late 30s. I sometimes wonder what supplements they took together.
I hope your friend recovers fully.

He bowls overhand.
Both Maine and Vermont are rural states that implemented social distancing measures through winter of 2020. That worked to minimize the number of cases. Now the population is vaccinated and there are no social distancing measures in place. That also works, due to a lower CFR from immunization.
13% of the overall population has had COVID-19 compared to 6% of the Maine population. The PFR is 0.07%, compared to the national 0.2%.

Maybe if the Aussie cops were using split reins this would be condemned by the media. Weird this doesn’t get any coverage here.
A more accurate analogy might be playing golf as a thunderstorm passed over with observed cloud to ground lightning.
I agree there are consequences to blanket mandates. Not a fan at all. But there are also consequences to not vaccinating. And they can affect more than just yourself. In the case of an airline pilot he can hardly avoid evey high risk person that he might encounter.
That’s what the mask is for.
Yes, they can affect other people who either choose not to get the vax themselves or are vaccinated and therefore at incredibly low risk of being hurt. And the pilot can't avoid them, but they can sure avoid him. Why is it the pilots responsibility to protect high risk person's? Shouldn't the high risk people be responsible for protecting themselves, either through the vax, staying home, or both?
But here we are, going around in circles again.
We all know you don't believe that. Falls flat as sacasim because masks never were an alternative to vaccine. Frequent regular covid tests has been an alternative for some companies and organizations. Testing is an alternative to vaccine in Bidens recent mandate.
Yup. This thread proves your point.?
Wrong again on risk but I understand your understanding is shaped by your perception of your own risk.
As for coming in contact with other people who gives a shit? Those people are free to eliminate their risk by getting vaccinated. Or they can stay home. Forcing people not at risk to get vaccinated on the utterly false premise of “protecting” others is how lots of useful idiots sign on and advocate nonsense like mandates.
I’m not familiar with sacasim. Must be a boomer thing.
But if masks aren’t an alternative to vaccine, why are we forcing kids to wear them?
US mask guidance for kids is the strictest across the world
The United States’ strict mask guidance for kids goes against policies across much of the globe.

Because they are not taking the vaccine yet? I don't support it and can't understand the reasons.
In any case, in the vast majority of mandatory vax orders to date, wearing a mask does replace the vax. Testing does. Honestly, I don't much understand that either, but it is a fact. Wear a mask instead of getting a jab and you get fired. Test at the prescribed interval and you don't have to get vaccinated.

It’s not uncommon for frequent marathoners and distance runners to get A-fib later in life. Running is exertion on the cardiovascular system… which obviously includes the heart. If you constantly tax that system, it’s like taxing any other organ. Also, some people have barely perceptible heart conditions (e.g. pulmonary hyptertension). Sadly, some teens die each year playing sports never knowing they had a heart condition.
Remember when the first americans killed agents of the crown because they didn't like paying taxes? That was bad ass.
Thanks for diagnosing my friend over the internet. Your other post is too stupid to ridicule. Go back to lurking.
