As of this writing, 281,057 people have died from COVID 19. 2 months ago that number was < 8,000. Forgive me if I don't advocate for massively increasing the transmission rate during an active, uncontained, global pandemic.

Please consider more critical thinking.

What we know is that certain outlets report that 281,147 deaths in the world were attributed in part due to symptoms potentially related to Covid19.

This is a sad terrible time, but the likelihood that those numbers mean what you think or say they mean is low in my opinion.
