Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Here's what I say

The amount of obsessive focus on this virus, all over the place, in a zillion different ways, is utterly ridiculous and idiotic, and that would be true even if the thing was ten times as deadly as it is. This is some serious OCD bullshit with the way the media, businesses, and others are focusing on this one statistically trivial thing. This is literally Pavlovian training, and has damn near nothing to do with science, logic or safety.

    10x? So 300,000-700,000 dead and counting would be no big deal? “Trivial”?

    I don’t think you meant to say that.

    It sure was trivial when this whole fucking thing started. The only reason 2,200,000 was a big deal even then was because it was going to hit ALL AGEs, especially the Children!!! and the Healthy. It was Different This Tim

    or did you forget that already?

    You seem pretty upset over your little hypothetical.

    Have a frozen margarita and shut the fuck up.
