In the US, today, we got Herman Cain dying today while his Twitter was blasting off nonsense and Turning Point deleting face-masking memes when their cofounder passed today.
Yet all I hear/read is “Well it’s only (insert US total death here) of people who died and it’s not higher, as predicted by (insert some crazy article claiming millions were supposed to die).”
Just a few months ago it was the “it’s only 10000 and not 100000” crowd and now it’s the “150000 and not 3M” talk. Also, “they’re all old anyways too so let the tough people get on with it.”
Shoot yeah the rest of the world is learning to live with it.
There’s been a **** ton of lives lost with this virus. Only 46% of Americans get the Flu Vaccine each year. That Vaccine is proven over a hundred years with no crazy side effects. When people say “ah this will all be over with a vaccine”. Yeah ok, Covid 19 Vaccine was botched together within months and I bet 10% of Americans actually get it due to being scared of what may be in it. But next year it will be Covid 20, 21, and so on just like the flu it’s not going anywhere. So a vaccine won’t be the cure for the airline industry and the confidence of American people. Not to mention business travel and zoom. This is a long road ahead. Probably another lost decade.
