But, those hot spots will cool down, but the surge will then spread like ripples affecting different parts of the country at different times.  How it will affect NFL attendance is still to be determined.

If  you work in health care, then you are aware of the treatment's efficacy.  I understand we are seeing more positive tests in areas, and there are many that are vaccinated and testing positive.  I have no idea why they are being tested when that group is largely asymptomatic or very mild symptoms, but I digress.

The hype and drama does exist.  It is the media.  This issue has been politicized from day 1, and we already had a lengthy discussion about fraudulent claims.  

I am not saying there are still being covid outbreaks, but the response to the treatments and the availability of the vaccine to those at greatest risk (and yes, I am vaccinated) have greatly reduced the impact.  

You can also bet the hype and drama machine won't ever reach the levels it did during the prior administration for obvious reasons.
