The Corona Perspective Some of You Seem to lack

[Castle2.0]

Some points:

• A lot of people die every single week in America (50,000-60,000) from all causes. That's sobering.
• Corona looks like the +8k/week seasonal change in weekly deaths maybe 2x that at the worst week or two.
• We're getting back to normal 50-60k levels.
• Hindsight will show Corona was bad, and bad things happen, but the hyper-ventilating and over-the-top rhetoric was for (1) ratings and (2) politics.

Now who wants to guess how many more deaths and negative health effects due to the lockdown (drugs, alcohol, abuse, suicide, etc.)? There are studies that show a correlation between GDP and suicide. What about quality of life? What about education? "BUT MUH POLITICAL NARRATIVE AND WE AREN'T AT 0 DEATHS YET!!!" Cool story bro - we never reach 0 - that's life, or should I say, death. Keep your narrative.

People still get swine flu (H1N1) - it's seasonal (like flu) and is a part of the flu shot. Do we freak out every year about H1N1?
