Thousands dead from virus over the course of 3 or 4 months? WOW. This would be a blessing. In most years (yes, even long before this "pandemic") there would normally be 10's of thousands dead from viruses like this SARS, especially during the cold and flu season that is approaching. The typical death range for influenza+cold+pnumonia ONLY has been 20-50 thousand per year. If you add in deaths WITH influenza+cold+pnumonia, it was hundreds of thousands of deaths per year, each year. They didn't keep good records about flu-as-a-secondary-cause until the start of this SARS-Covd-2 thing started.
Lets be realistic and compare these death counts to the total deaths in the USA, which is typically 2.5 MILLION per year, and which will be increasing rapidly over the next decade or so because of the aging Boomer generation.
The thing is, as ordinary people we just are not capable of understanding these numbers without having some experience looking at them. This is why the news programs don't break the pandemic numbers down by year, they STILL show the TOTAL case numbers since the start, two years ago: they make you get a bigger emotional response, so you'll keep tuned in.
Incredible!!! Still blaming the orange man for a virus that was engineered by someone from the swamp (bio-weapons research funded by dr. fauci)? Wheew. I can't wait to read some more of this dump...
Their poll may show something like that, but it's probably made up bull crap using fake numbers (or at best, misleading questions by the pollsters). Besides, you have to subscribe to view it. Sorry, but I'm not paying the New York Times jack squat. I subscribed to their free newsletter last year, looking for a good source of real news. It had absolutely NO factual information in any of the free articles. Every article offered was clearly misleading opinion/propaganda. In the 6 months I viewed, there was NOT ONE objective, non-political observation.
Is that what they are still telling you? Unless we can get xiden out of the big chair, it might be true: he'll kill off another 2 million with the vax, and clearly his decisions have shaken the business sector and limited our ability to help ourselves: we may have tough times ahead.
I'll agree on your last point, even though we got there from different approaches.
Let's plan for the worst and hope for the best. Let's also keep in mind these news outlets want to keep us afraid of our own shadow so we'll keep paying them for the new news. Fuck 'em.
What will be will be.
