Just take a look at your numbers in a different way. I will use my age group and a younger age group:

50-59
- chance of death, 1 in 200
- chance of hospitalization, 1 in 20

I don’t feel great about those numbers really. A vaccine made sense for me.

20-29
- chance of death, 1 in 5000
- chance of hospitalization, 1 in 50

These numbers, maybe you don’t need to worry but even 1 in 50, I don’t know. Taken across a lot of people, small percentages can really add up. But, you know, if you are 20-29, I can see waiting to get a vaccine, one of my sons did and it was ultimately his choice. He’s gone ahead now that it was officially approved by the FDA (pfizer).
