[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep.  And the new scale is based on hospitalizations, not just cases.  The new variant is more transmissible, and so many people just aren't even trying anymore.  We are up to [b]400+ deaths a day from COVID[/b], and people act like it's over.  [/quote]

I'm no conspiracy theorist, but I question that number.[/quote]

400+ a day is also as low as its been at any time since COVID started other than than summer of 2021. The tragic reality of COVID is that it's not going anywhere. and it kills a lot of people.[/quote]

400 isn't really that many. Almost 3 million people die in the US each year. It's not like Covid robbed us of immortality.[/quote]

That's a jumbo jet crash a day, in addition to the deaths that would normally have occurred. [/quote]

That’s what I said. Not many. And that doesn’t even account for [b]those dying that were at high risk from dying soon from something else.[/b] [/quote]

You can account for them by looking at the excess death statistics. I understand that you have talking points in hand about how to respond to them, but for others reading along: let me assure you that they are unpleasant to contemplate.

[b]Also, no, "a jumbo jet crash a day" is not "what you said". You said it's "not many."[/b] I think the 400 people who died avoidably yesterday mattered, as will the 400 who will die avoidably tomorrow. [/quote]

Yes, almost 3 million people die each year in the US. In January 2021, there were 4,000 people dying from Covid each day. So, 400 is not many. In any event, you can have 853 passengers on an Airbus 380. So, it's not even half of that. I realize you're into stupid analogies and all...[/quote]
