[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Until I saw this post, I hadn’t thought of COVID all week. Amazing. It’s like it never happened and we’ve all returned to our senses. Remember when people thought we were all going to die any time we left the house? Let’s not do that ever again, mmkay?[/quote]

You have to be one of the more delusional and/or ignorant posters I have seen in a long time.

[b]More Americans died from COVID than ANY US war. More than one million[/b] died of a disease that did not exist five years ago.

And you think we all over-reacted??

This is Memorial day weekend. How many ceremonies will be held, and statues laid with wreaths to honor our war dead. Think of the most devastating war in your mind.

MORE people died of COVID than any of our wars, Let that sink in (those of you who don't even see it in your rearview mirror???)[/quote]

COVID isn't a warring enemy. In war, bombs don't care who they kill. Old, young, everyone in between. The people who died of COVID were disproportionately elderly and in poor health. Hugely so. The vast majority of COVID deaths were among people with significant comorbidities. Huge, enormous overlap. Given we're now two full years post the peak COVID deaths, a good chunk of [b]the people who died of COVID would have died by now of something else.[/b] By contrast, [b]COVID wasn't killing classrooms of kids[/b] or people out shopping at supermarkets when a stray bomb fell on it.

I'm 42 in excellent health and no known health problems. The odds of dying from COVID is next to none. Like the vast, vast, vast, vast majority of people who get COVID, it will be nothing more than a pesky feverish cold for a few days and then back to normal.

Probably the saddest outcome of COVID isn't the elderly and sick who lost a bit of life they otherwise would have lived, but the younger people who had no reason to fear COVID but who have become damaged by COVID fears that they are not able to accurately and pragmatically measure the risks.

Lies
[b]And teachers in states that were open died at unprecedented rates.[/b]

Live in your web of lies.[/quote]

Where is the data on this?  How do you know they died of covid at rates higher than other professions in these open states?[/quote]

The death rates are easily found. Google is your friend. Compare Fla to Maryland. It’s sad his many senseless deaths there were.

Also look at the death rates of grocery store workers and people working in warehouses.. especially for food. The rate of death is double those who could stay safe at home.

Ignorance is bliss apparently.[/quote]

You can’t easily compare Florida to Maryland because Florida has a much older, much more overweight population.  Even looking at age adjusted death rates (available on CDC website), Florida is middle of the pack for the states, not on either end like Oklahoma and Vermont, and that doesn’t account for comorbidities.[/quote]
