If you think everyone was wrong, chances are you’re the one that’s wrong. Combination of confirmation bias. How many times on here was the word “liberal” or “the left” mentioned? Or even basements? It’s all just politics and ideology, there’s no science at all. Nobody can prove where or how you got the virus, just like they can’t prove masks 100% work, but they can go off science to try to reduce the risk for all. Ironically you don’t realize that the reason why the numbers aren’t worse is because states had restrictions and lockdowns. Remember that the original narrative on here was this was a hoax up until last summer.
I never denied COVID, but much of what we did was fear-based and ineffective. Prior to COVID, societal shutdowns were never recommended or tried. We should have followed the earlier, we’ll thought out guidance instead we fell to fear.
Yes, 550,00 died naturally due to a novel virus. I consider that one of evolutionary process, you consider it an outrage. There are worse outrages.

You’ve totally forgotten what was being said early on. Including from the top where it was said it was going to be over soon and it will be beautiful. Is 580k dead in 12 months a bad flu? I mean you’re still hoaxing it up right now, you’re denying the reality. I wonder what would have happened had we taken your route if even after these “crazy” restrictions we still had all these people dead and countless more almost getting there. A million dead? At what point is it not ok?
FWIW, almost 3 million people (six times that) died in the US in 2019. So I guess if you are asking, then nope, I have no problem with a million dead in the US in a year - that is a about one third of a normal year, so if that is all I have to worry about, not poverty or mental health, then it seems like a good year.

But feel free to waste YOUR time all you’d like. It’s a free world.

It's like that line from Men In Black - "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."
Edit: yeah the article reads like a good refresher for that section in philosophy 101.

As far as I can see it’s just frustration on your part, there’s no real solution in what you’re saying. Saying oh well, its just another plague in human history is not good enough. We are not in the dark ages, people don’t have to keep dying because of a plague. We can do something about it and we did.

Ok think about that for a second and what actually has to happen for your wish to come true. Also how do you think the mental health of the nation would be if your wish did came true.
