How is the response to covid irrational? 4.5 million people have already died from it.

4.5 million after taking all precautions and overloading medical systems of countries. Think how large that number would have been if we had gone our lives normally. Would have made the 1918 pandemic look like a picnic.

This conversation must happen daily on this site. Re-reading the same arguments from opposing viewpoints is really getting old. Did you want a genuine response to your question was was it inflammatory?

I don't see this conversation daily on HN. And as someone who has lost people to this disease I can't let go of any instance of this.

60 million people die of some cause every year. What is your threshold for global despotism to be an acceptable response?
