Its the political narrative right now is why. 7.75 million infected, 215k deaths of mostly at risk people. So basically a virus that has a 98% survival factor and increasing every day with treatments. I’d like to see the number of suicides during this time and if it has increased as this “pandemic” goes on. How many are depressed, lonely/isolated, lost a job, or whatever because of something that has a 98% survival rate.
So many other ways to die, yet we as a society don’t think twice about many of them.
Yep, increased suicides......but you all keep worrying about masks in the cockpit.
