[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does everything have to be so expensive now just because of an illness that killed [b]like 0.1% of the population[/b] (mostly old/fat/unhealthy people too, aka weren’t going to be around much longer anyway). The world’s response to COVID was so dumb and such an unnecessary overreaction. Now literally everything in society is worse [/quote]

It’s actually much less than that. More like 0.001%.[/quote]

Worldwide about 7 million deaths so far, global pop 8.3 billion. 
0.08%

It wasn't just old people. In the US 70,000 people under age 50 died between 2020 and 2023. Over 200,000 people age 50 to 64--under retirement age and certainly including people who still had children at home.

NYC had a Covid death rate 50% higher than Los Angeles. NYC was hit hard earlier than Los Angeles, more lower SES people living in crowded conditions. Virus was already spreading when lockdown orders were issued. LA had more time to prepare sufficient safety supplies.

South Dakota, where Noem refused to issue lockdowns or mask orders, had a death rate 30% higher than North Dakota, which did both.

There would have been more deaths without the "over-reaction." [/quote]
