Shame this piece was downvoted so hard. Downvoters may agree with pm_me_ur_fullzz that people who dispute the seriousness of covid-19 are wrong, but downvoting the person who says "there are people out there who are wrong" will not cause those people who are wrong to disappear.
If you want to make a problem go away, the first step is to talk about the problem.
- DangerousPie 7y agoDownvoting makes it obvious to any casual reader that the comment is heavily disputed and should not be relied upon.
- detaro 7y agoThat there are still people thinking its not as big a deal is heavily disputed?
- happytoexplain 7y agoThis is dishonest. The author absolutely did not simply say "there are still people thinking it's not a big deal".
- pm_me_ur_fullzz 7y ago"There are still people thinking it's not a big deal, I wonder what the threshold really is for changing that idea." username does not check out. But did you notice it doesn't really matter how people read what I wrote when > It is now undisputed that Covid-19 should be taken seriously as a serious illness. that's the point I was bringing attention to? That it is not undisputed because a non-negligible amount of people think differently?
- dang 7y agoI appreciate that this account has mostly been posting good comments, but would you mind changing your username? It's mildly trollish, and trollish usernames troll every thread an account posts to. Email hn@ycombinator.com with the name you prefer, or just reply here and we can change it for you.

- dang 7y agoOk, you're now vmception.
- pm_me_ur_fullzz 7y agolol, I disputed the idea that people don't dispute Covid's seriousness, and people thought I disputed Covid's seriousness and disputed the post itself. We have to go deeper.
- DangerousPie 7y agoOkay, I (and many others) may have misread your post then. Sorry! It sounded like you were pointing this out because you agreed with the people disputing the seriousness of COVID. Rereading it I can see how you may have actually meant it.
