a very common characteristic of viruses!!!

Yeah, if the young were as vulnerable as the old (like with flu)...horrific. My wife and I talked about this and realized one of us may have had to quit our job to stay home and keep our newborn from dying.

Except if it had been much deadlier, all of the reactions would have been different

indeed, I think that's what they thought would happen when NYC got hit the hardest. but it turned out that way more Republicans died after the Covid vax came out and tons of them refused to get it

or coloured people, or poor people, or old people (which was true)

It was the perfect level of "this is deadly, but probably in a way that's not visible to a lot of people." Most of these solipsistic idiots never suffered the impact in a direct enough way to be appropriately chastened by it, so they just fixate on their personal inconveniences.

The biggest real impact of our policies was probably on kids not being in school, but it was necessary to limit the spread. Of course kids needing drills on surviving school shootings is much more damaging to their emotional well-being, and we don't do anything to limit the need for that.

we really are in the Weak Men Create Hard Times era. spoiled, petulant little shitheads who've never put in a real day of work in their lives, squalling like babies over getting a shot, while they try to murder all of Africa

1.2 million would like to disagree if they could.

This continues to be the MAGA mindset after these long six years.

I have pictures of packed mall and restaurant parking lots here from July 2020. PA went into reopening mode in all counties by then. These people have rewritten history they lived through so they could pretend they were locked inside for years. Absolutely wild

It was deadly for 1.2 million people.

I could have done with some of that old time stealing. As I was in a key industry, I worked right through it. I’d much rather sitting around on my arse playing Fallout 4, or reading a book.

“They stole years of your life” says shut in who would’ve spent that time being mad on the computer anyway

To be fair to guys like this, if you accept the premise that a spike in death rates two or three times greater than the one we saw would have led to social collapse and widespread chaos that the security state could not have contained, it does pretty much put a pin in their whole project.
