I see that the largest % of Covid patients in hospitals are now toddlers through tweens
... Can I have a big #$%^ you to all the anti-vaxers

What did they expect??
Disagree, that's the same logic as travel bans globally, this virus is everywhere already it's too late. Would just cause chaos.
Once more, it’s not about stopping the spread. The new strain is most likely all over the country but we need to slow it down as much as possible to avoid flooding the hospitals with sick patients. Let the wave rather last for 4 months instead of 2 with a more manageable flow of patients. Failure to do that will lead to more patients having to die due to lack of ICU beds, oxygen etc. The only way we can do that is by containing the hot spots.
On the other hand, Europe is going through a rough 5th wave and one can argue for or against the ban they imposed on SA with no real evidence at this stage of whether we are right or wrong.

Remember last year when New York had their horrible wave in lockdown. It was reckoned that if the numbers doubled every 7 days they would be in serious trouble. And it did for a moment.
We are in serious trouble. Even with mild symptoms, this is climbing way too fast to handle.
It’s just exploded. It’s crazy.
