Read the links I posted smart one all four of them answered your question about age, vaccine status, testing, and covid cases, and hospitilizations

Young is defined as under 40's unvaccinated that have not had covid yet. Because most of seniors have already had covid or the vaccine. Just get the vaccine and stop crying so the rest of the state can enjoy football, jazz fest, and the government restrictions can end.

No it's common sense that low vit D, obesity, and smoking causes higher risk of any severe case of any respiratory virus. That is why viruses spread more easily in winter when vitamin d levels are lower in people from being outside less. Look it up yourself. Does smoking not cause asthma and black lung for many long term smokers. The same logic applies to respiratory viruses

I had covid for 8 days last march I knocked it out with three doses of an old family home remedy my grandfather used to take during the days before antibiotics and vaccines. I was vitamin D deficient unknowing until last may when I got my blood work done. My Vitamin D levels are now that of an athlete I have been taking two supplements a day to get them higher to prevent future infections. I caught the virus at the grocery store from a guy coughing through his cheap cloth mask. Yes for those anti mask skeptics yes masks do not prevent infection but the greatly lower the amount of viral load you get when someone coughs near you.

Yes there is a direct link between covid infection, severe disease, and vitamin D deficency. So if your too lazy to exercise please buy supplements at the store and take them everyday.

Covid changed my life it help me become better physically, changed my diet, helped me lose 60 pounds, helped me take care of my health much better, and helped me to take probiotics and supplements better.

I suspect like many in here yes LSU football season will most likely have restrictions now especially because too many idiots have either not had the virus or refuse to be vaccinated so we can finally stop talking about covid. My college buddy died of covid so did one of my college professors. So anyone in here who says the leftists need to shutup about covid well I know real people that really died from it personally and know numerous other that had to go to the hospital with it. Covid has killed more Americans then World War I and World War II combined.

if your a smoker, obese, or vitamin D deficient your chances of hospitalization or death are much higher. Covid caused an estimated 5.6 million hospitalizations. That was 20% of all hospitlizations. America only has about 200,000 ICU beds for a country with 335 million people. That means that it only takes .33% of the population getting severe covid at the same time to overwhelmed our hospital system and the military only has enough nurses and doctors to treat about another 100,000 severe cases. So basically any virus much more severe then covid will easily overwhelm our hospital system in the right circumstances.

Imagine Covid is not the only thing hospitals have to deal with. They also have to deal with accidents, surgeries, cancer, overdoses, shooting victims, covid, flu, pnuemonia, other respiratory viruses, old age, dementia, alzheimers.

Those vaccines for many other diseases prevent millions of hospitlizations every year.

Add all of this on top of covid and think about all your family members like my cousin that have to deal with all these issues in the ICU and Hospital on a daily basis. It is tiring so think about your family and friends that work hard in the medical field that keep people alive next time you get covid or don't wear a mask or refuse a perfectly safe vaccine. You are putting them in danger too.
