I did say I live in an area that wasn't hit as hard due to being more suburban. Good reading comprehension.

Right. But my point was poor empathy on your part.

I never mentioned how I feel for the people who lost their lives or lost loved ones. All I said was that urban and suburban areas could have been handled with different sets of policies. Different levels of restriction are appropriate for different population densities.

Saying "but people died!" is just a flimsy appeal to emotion intending to paint me as a monster for presenting a logical and nuanced take, while ignoring the substance of what it is I'm actually saying.
