It’s not that I don’t think it’s serious. I get that the other diseases cited aren’t contagious. However, the quantity of deaths has often been cited as proof that things need to be shut down. Ppl say things like it’s killed more Americans than the Vietnam war. While every death is tragic, those kinds of comparisons are made to make it seem more prolific than it is. This subject got brought up b/c a pp said that a DOCTOR on the radio said Covid has killed more ppl than heart disease & cancer combined. That’s not even close to true & is fear mongering unless he’s just that uninformed. Then it’s just negligent. And if there is no cure or vaccine, then we are just delaying the inevitable at a great cost to our economy. Flattening the curve was important b/c we didn’t want ppl dying b/c they didn’t have access to care b/c the hospitals were overwhelmed. But that has been done so we can’t just wait to try to prevent every singe death b/c the cost is just too great.
