this 3 race period. seems unlikely
Why do you think USA is unlikely?
In most of this instances, these grand prixs have been cancelled by the host government, not by F1. There is no way the state of Texas is going to cancel any event. The people who run Texas think COVID is a hoax.

That seems solvable. Reserve beds.
Quite frankly I don't have much sympathy for most of the people being hospitalized due to COVID. Most of them are anti-vaxxers. Not a big deal to reserve some beds for F1 if that means a few anti-vaxxers are turned away.
Either way, the decision is for the local authorities in Austin, and I would be shocked if they cancel it.
Having seen the desperate lengths FOM will go to make sure the show goes on cancellations are the very last of their possible options.

we are talking about texas, the stereotype is that they are anti most thing vaccine, masks, social distancing.
but looking at the stats. its not most but it not far off the 2 counties which have austin is 58% & 50% vaccination rate. the state is 48% & country is 52%. compared to Britain in the picture below
F1Brits_90 already showed that there is a low vaccination rate in Texas relative to countries like the UK.
As for most of the deaths being anti-vaxxers. Anyone in the USA can get a vaccine these days. My doctor is giving out third shots now. So if you are dying because you haven't got the vaccine, then that was your choice.
Most deaths are people who have not taken the vaccine.
Nearly all COVID deaths in US are now among unvaccinated
Nearly all COVID-19 deaths in the United States now are in people who weren’t vaccinated, a staggering demonstration of how effective the vaccines have been and an indication that daily deaths — now down to under 300 — could be practically zero if everyone eligible got the shots.

99% of COVID deaths are now of unvaccinated people, experts say
COVID cases and deaths are on the rise in what is now a "pandemic of the unvaccinated," the director of the CDC said.
www.cnet.com
Texas has seen nearly 9,000 COVID-19 deaths since February. All but 43 were unvaccinated people.
Preliminary data shows 99.5% of COVID-related deaths in Texas were among unvaccinated people, according to the Department of State Health Services.

‘It’s soul-draining’: Health workers deployed to Covid hot zones are overwhelmed by deaths among the unvaccinated
Inside an overflowing ICU, health workers face a frustrating new reality: The patients they’re treating are the people whose refusal to be vaccinated is prolonging the pandemic.

COVID-19 Vaccines
Vaccines are seen as one of the best ways to stop COVID-19. Learn more about the types of vaccines, including the newly approved Novavax.

So I have no issue with reserving beds for F1 drivers, and letting anti-vaxxers die in the bed they made themselves. In fact I would welcome that.

You stated that most of those being hospitalized (your spelling) due to Covid are anti/vaxxers. Please show your workings.
If you can’t figure out from what I and others have already posted, then I can’t help you.
I think the point is, there's a big difference between "hasn't had the vaccination" and "is anti vaccination"
We can't say for certain why people aren't getting vaccinated anywhere.

Hospitalized is the default spelling forhospitalized if using English(USA) normally the default on any media device, some , not all will allow a English (English) or English(GB), irrespective of the spelling non vaccinated have a far greater chance of being hospitalised or hospitalized and dying, rather than being somewhat uncomfortable and isolating for a few days.
That's fair. But in a country where the vaccination is free, has 100% availability, 100% awareness, where free transportation is provided too and from the vaccination facility - the choice to not take it can reasonably assumed to be anti-vaccination (Children exempted, and children are not the ones being hospitalized en-masse).

I'd say that was a fair assumption.
This shows the mindset of the anti-vaxxers/anti maskers. They don't even care if their children die for the parents' political beliefs.

Exactly. These people are human trash, which is why the recent COVID death count in the USA is something to celebrate in my view. Good riddance.
