At a certain point we accept the tradeoffs and get on with it. A few hundred thousand people die of the flu every year. So what? It's tragic, but that is life.

Normalization is not about accepting tradeoff. It's accepting defeat.

At some point, drastic measures start being worse than the disease. It doesn't mean we should ignore the few hundred thousand death.

56 Million people die a year. There are vaccine's and treatments available for the Flu. The deaths aren't 0 but don't think it's something to moralize about and call a defeat.
