Very, very different. But a colossal f-up, nonetheless.

Amazing! All you hear (on ms media) is the world is ending, hospitals are straining, cases are surging yet there are only ~ 650 less flights then last year. Even if they are at half cap that is still a ton of people that either don't care or have moved on. The question is, when do we get to stop hearing this non-stop death talk?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

When the deaths stop. 1500+ deaths/day (7 day average) and climbing. 86k hospitalizations and climbing. Why does people flying change any of that?

We need a "Random Covid Posts" thread.

It amazes me that the Covid cancellers come out in full force right when the numbers are at their record highs and only getting worse. It's almost like the numbers trigger something primal. Maybe it's an ostrich gene.

Say what you want about cases, but there are 88k+ hospitalized right now, and there have been more deaths today so far (not all numbers are in yet) than any day since May 6. But sure, keeping our weddings out of the media should be our greatest concern.

Has there been a surge in covid in Williamsburg?
The wedding was about 2 weeks ago.  Data should start arriving around now.

The problem with a 7,000 people gathering is that it will be a superspreader event.
If it's not, then there's no problem.

You're a parent. When your kid does something stupid, but escapes repercussions, does that excuse what happened? And why is "superspreading" the only issue with a huge wedding or event? Spreading on a lesser level is fine?

There are those that feel that epidemiological conditions in South Dakota and Utah have no bearing on conditions in KJ and Williamsburg, due to the fact that intermingling of the respective populaces with each other is basically nil. Nobody in BP carries umbrellas when there are monsoons in Cambodia.

Those would be the same people whose family members were relying on nurses and doctors from all over the country when NY hospitals were full in March and April? As NY hospitals fill up again, help will not be coming from the rest of the US. They have their own problems right now. And the fuller the hospitals get, the lower the quality of care gets. Amazing how people who pride themselves on big picture thinking miss the big picture. You don't need a 50% Covid infection rate in order to see significant deaths in the community.

ETA: and when c"v someone does end up in the hospital with Covid, and they look like the people in the paper who were at a 7k person wedding, I'm sure they'll get top notch care.

Is there a breakdown of cargo vs passenger? I'd think that would be different than previous years.

This didn’t age well
April 21 = 2744 deaths
Nov 11 = 1480 deaths

Hospitalizations currently slightly higher than peak Hospitalizations mid to end of April.

Hospitalizations and deaths now, arguably mean more about the scope of the current situation, since, ostensibly hospital stays are shorter since treatment methods have improved, and for the same reason there should be less deaths
