A negligible number of lives. All terrorist attacks in US history combined resulted in less than three days worth of COVID-19 deaths.

All the more reason to keep draconian covid measures in place in perpetuity. Covid passports, lockdowns, masks, forced vax.

Sometimes I picture our anti-covid measures as piling sandbags in front of a tsunami. Might hold back the water for a little while, but won't do much in the long term.
