Please clap.

It wasn't a serious suggestion, just pointing out that you can significantly reduce risk in daily life with draconian controls on society. But we never really did that before covid, outside of war.

I just spoke with one guy who basically said he’s still never seen anyone sick, it’s just like any other bad flu season, things are more or less not changed....... There’s not much you can say to that. In order for any of their arguments to work, a person HAS to be ok with 400k,500k,600k+ dead as part of a normal life cycle. At what point would all these deaths not be just part of life? 800k? 1,000,000? Ironically, the lockdowns and restrictions are the only reason why we’re still having a debate on this as it would have been much much worse. Yet the hoaxers are still not satisfied. Like you say though, now it’s too late. Governors will ride it out, eventually things will open up. The hoaxers will say they were right. Of course the majority of us in the real world know what really happened.

400,000 people would have died regardless. America is the don't tread on me country. People don't take kindly to the government telling them what to do. Hillary wouldn't have contained the virus any better. Sure, she could have passed a mask mandate but there's no guarantee that would have worked.
California vs Florida is the classic example. California had the most draconian shutdown and even today outdoor dining is shut. What did that make people do? Simple, they just met each other inside other homes. Covid spread like wildfire. CA is an epicenter today in America. Florida? They relied on the common sense approach with things being open. Still, people being people, not all wore masks and hung out. Covid spread. Adjusted on a proportionate basis, both CA and FL ended up being similar in outcomes for Covid.
One thing that many people ignore in America is that not all health issues are genetic. Genes you can't control, but PLENTY of health issues in this country are due to lifestyle choices: lack of exercise and a terrible diet. We are an extremely unhealthy country and all that hurts when it comes to a virus attacking your body.

As to your obesity red herring... If I recall, 10 years ago they tried to tackle Obesity too. Healthy food campaigns and sugar taxes.

That's nice. I hope you never have to offer condolences to anyone. "A shame about your mom. She really had that death coming"
