How about trying for murder the people who advocated that the economy is more important and killed thousands of people through negligence? We can never know due to the vast array of different variables involved, but to say what Brazil is going through, or what some US states went through, and the associated death toll is somehow better than a lockdown seems a very weird take.

When thousands are sick, and hospitals are full, medical personnel is stretched to their limits, nobody can get intensive care, regardless of age. Poverty is a serious issue that needs to be tackled, but ignoring direct and indirect deaths due to Covid is simply wrong.

The hospitals are full because massive amounts of exaggerated takes on Coronavirus were propped up by many vehicles (media, moral heroes, etc). We couldn’t identify the true at-risk demo and target them.

No, enough of the moral take. We didn’t approach this pragmatically, and we need to stand up against the grandstanding that fervently uses emotional hostage taking as a talking point.

FUD was at maximum from the start. Toilet paper shortages. What else can I say.

We're a year in. We can identify at risk cases, and, from the beginning, only heavy cases get to the hospital.

Huh? No. Give it a rest. The United States hospital system didn’t get inundated because the target demo visited it.

Hysteria got everyone going to the hospital. That’s it. You know how I’m sure? Because it’s the same phenomenon that got everyone to stock up on toilet paper.

It was the fucking FLU. What a shame.

Anyone that disagrees with this better fucking provide the Covid numbers in comparison to previous year flu numbers.

Who is talking about the US hospital system?

Today, hospitals in France at 83% capacity, in the region around Paris at 104%. During the first wave, the situation in Italy was so bad doctors had to choose who had a higher chance of survival and only admit them, and leave others to die on the streets.

I cannot believe there are still people in an alternative reality.

Here are some numbers. Do check when was the last time a "flu" killed ( confirmed) 2.7m people. Not to mention it's still ongoing, mutating, and new variants are more easy to spread and heavier, especially among younger (<50 years) people. Please educate yourself and stop spewing nonsense that was debunked a month in the pandemic.
