That's fair, but I think you can still compare it to the flu, which is not that far off from covid percentage wise. At this point both the flu and covid should be at an equal level of people having vaccines and natural antibodies, right? Even if you go with covid being about twice as deadly as the flu, twice as deadly as almost nothing is still almost nothing.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans will die this year from COVID. Sure, almost nothing. Just a 9/11 every two weeks or so.

Thousands die every day from tons of other stuff also, just a part of life.

Wow... ghoul, much?

I call it reality.

[–] holland@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And that's the problem.

That reality is reality? People die of lots of different things, I'm sorry I'm that's news to you.

It's the problem that people like you let this be reality. That we just dismiss millions of preventable deaths as mere statistics rather than doing simple and easy things like wearing masks during pandemics.

I wore one when I was required to and didn't wear one when I wasn't, so sorry for following the rules?

I’m sure “almost nothing” is quite comforting for the families of the 1.1 million Americans who died.

I'm sorry, but people die of lots of different things all the time, it sucks but it's a part of life
