It's currently killing over 200 Americans a day but thanks for minimizing it
eat shit plague rat
you're free to die of a preventable disease, just don't spread it to anyone else.
You're free to fuck off
"I am sad that people are being stabbed but I'm not going to stop the stabbings."
Then they don't care. They chose personal comfort over millions of lives. That is the material consequences of their actions.
I don't want to mourn. I want to fight a very real threat instead of letting it ravage and cripple our population.
"Life has to go on at some point. We can't keep fighting the Axis powers forever. Sorry, we're just going to give up and give people up to the SS death squads."
That's what you sound like. Suicidal and pathetic.
Moving forward would be defeating the pandemic. They didn't move forward at all. They surrendered and sacrificed people without their consent. I am upset because they didn't move forward and meet the threat head on (meaning a real pandemic response and saving as many lives as possible)
Giving up was a sign of human resilience? Do you seriously think you can just choose reality by playing pretend? Grow up. We have to acknowledge the real world and adapt to it or the species will die. Human resilience is building fire when the blizzards come, not sending people to die out in the cold while pretending the blizzard isn't there. Actions (and inaction) have consequences. Our leaders did not have the right to sacrifice people's lives for the economies profit margin. The end result is death, permanent disfigurement by the millions (possibly billions have permanent long COVID) and future pandemics. That happened and will continue to happen until we take action whether people want to believe it or not.
...did you not see what comm this was before you commented?
They might not be psychopaths, but they are dangerously ignorant and putting lives at risk. They're also adults that should know how pandemics work. At some point they made a choice not to think. They don't get a free pass for that.
At some point "I didn't think running with scissors would get someone stabbed" is taking the piss.
