If it were to be easily treated with a course of steroids, it effectively is much less dangerous.That doesn't mean it wasn't more virulent or more dangerous.

Mortality rates for COVID reflect treatment of COVID (unless you happen to be a right wing weirdo who was told COVID was a hoax and led them to believe that they didn’t actually have it and were fine despite dying in their houses without seeking treatment, which definitely happened).
The hoax people and you share the believe that COVID was not any more dangerous than influenza, leading to totally unnecessary deaths.You lump the hoax people with the people who think the government overreacted. That's a typical SJW government stooge ploy.
What is the implication other then masks can provide protection?
Even small amounts of protection warrants mask use, right?
I mean, how many people have to be saved by masks in order for you to think, "yeah, I guess it's worth it"?
I can't speak to that but I believe those people to be misinformed if they thought masks were pointless...or even "pretty much" pointless but that is subjective I suppose.
To me it is simply common sense. I am just an electrical worker but I know that coughs, sneezes or even throat clears produce droplets of saliva; this is why we cover our mouths or cough into our inside elbows etc, to stop droplets of saliva from being airborne. Do you not cover your mouth when you sneeze?
On top of this common sense makes me believe that the virus can be contained in those drops of saliva.
Lastly it is common sense that even poorly sealed disposable masks will entrap many of these same saliva droplets and in doing so reduces the chance of spreading COVID.
You're worried about 'saving one life' by forcing everyone to wear a mask, yet champion the open border which has cost tens of thousands of American lives. You don't give a damn about life, what you care about is control, you lust to control other people's lives.

A sad whataboutism and false equivalence indeed.You're worried about 'saving one life' by forcing everyone to wear a mask, yet champion the open border which has cost tens of thousands of American lives.

Yeah, about your opinion of what the Conservatives said...If it were to be easily treated with a course of steroids, it effectively is much less dangerous.

The hoax people and you share the believe that COVID was not any more dangerous than influenza, leading to totally unnecessary deaths.
You lump the people thinking masks were a simple and effective way to have some effect on spread with people thinking that masks made someone invincible and could not contract COVID. The difference is that you essentially invented the latter population.
But I guess it's okay when you lump people because you're a snowflake and can do whatever you want without being subject to criticism.
One million dead in this country alone says it was pretty fucking lethalA bad flu, not just any flu. And it wasn't orders of magnitude more lethal, which was the worry at the beginning of the pandemic.
They weren't sold as "some effect", they were sold as do it or else.
One million dead in this country alone says it was pretty fucking lethal
Excess death counts say that claim is bullshitAnd how many of those were within 6 months of dying anyway due to their co-morbidities?
Spanish flu hit the healthy and young the most, and thus could claim to be the only cause of them dying from it.
COVID numbers got wrapped up in political bullshit.
Excess death counts say that claim is bullshit
You’d have to go a long way to come up with one million excess deaths (or more) due to suicide or whateverSome of those could also have been caused by deaths DUE to the COVID restrictions, waiting for treatment on things, suicides due to isolation and depression, etc.
Then you could take into account the ones that would be dead in a year or two, again due to their existing conditions, where COVID just sped it up a bit, but not within the same year.
There are of course going to be additional deaths due to a novel respiratory virus, but they added COVID as a cause in many cases where it wasn't exactly the primary cause.
You left out the part that the masks, shutdowns, and school closings did nothing, and caused more harm than good.One million dead in this country alone says it was pretty fucking lethal
“Left out” because it’s bonkersYou left out the part that the masks, shutdowns, and school closings did nothing, and caused more harm than good.
Which flu was it as bad as?A bad flu, not just any flu. And it wasn't orders of magnitude more lethal, which was the worry at the beginning of the pandemic.

“It’s no worse than Spanish flu” really doesn’t help your argument. Like at all. That’s the dumbest thing anyone could say.The Spanish flu for one.
The 57/58 flu was another.

COVID was substantially worse than influenza in 1957. Maybe not 10x worse but probably 5x worse.
