Covid-19 deaths could have been prevented ? Due to exponential viral spread, our delay in action was devastating. This testing fiasco crippled vital early contact tracing efforts when hot spots could have been contained. We would have been better off from a health standpoint, and economically.

Up to now, vaccination has meant injecting a dead virus (or bacteria), or one that has been weakened and can only poorly replicate, or parts of the virus, or suchlike. Should everyone take the vaccine? Probably yes for those at highest risk of serious infection and death , where the potential benefit is high.

Sepsis - commonly known as blood poisoning - is an overreaction of the immune system to an infection. This damages organs and can lead to death within hours.
