Where is the outrage?
3,300 people die a day from a car crash globally.
Alcohol kills 3 million a year globally. 88,000 a year in the U.S. Economic burden $249 billion a year.
About 5% to 20% of Americans get the flu each year. More than 200,000 people are hospitalized, according to the CDC. And since the 1970s, between 3,000 and 49,000 people have died from the flu each year. This is largely due to other infections and complications that can occur when you have the flu, particularly pneumonia.
CDC estimates that flu has resulted in between 9.3 million and 49 million illnesses each year in the United States since 2010. For more information on these estimates see CDC’s Disease Burden of Influenza page.
The annual economic impact on influenza season is astounding $87 billion per year: $16.3 billion in loss of earnings. $10.4 billion in direct employer costs. 70 million employee work days lost.
600 billion dollars a year goes directly cigarettes, booze, and flu.
Where is Inslee on all of this?

Malaria kills a child every 30 seconds...
Malaria may have killed half of all humans that ever lived. ~50 billion people https://www.nature.com/articles/news021001-6#:~:text=Malaria may have killed half,children in sub-Saharan Africa.
Malaria is highly transmissible, has a relatively high asymptomatic rate, and a case fatality rate for <5 year olds of ~6%
Luckily we have developed medications like hydroxychloroquine to treat/prevent malaria with minimal side effects...
maybe someday we might find a similar low cost, well understood, minimal side effect medication that could be used for Covid.
Until then we will have to be satisfied with running death counts, authoritarian cheerleaders, and stacks of cord wood. -
